ducktape

I'm a CS student at Berkeley, and like a lot of gen-z "devs", I learned to code by vibing — prompting an AI until something works, without always understanding why. It's fast, and it feels like magic, right up until it crashes. Then I'm stuck, because I never actually learned the thing that broke. DuckTape is my attempt to fix that. It's an AI coding buddy that talks to you like a real rubber duck — the old programmer's trick of explaining your problem out loud to a duck on your desk until the answer clicks. Except this duck actually talks back, and it remembers. It remembers what you're building, what broke last time, how you like to work. The goal isn't just to spit out fixes. It's to bring back the part of coding that vibing has quietly erased — the understanding, the back-and-forth, the "oh, THAT'S why it broke" moment. If you actually wanna learn coding + understand what ur building, get ducktape! A quick list of features: 🎓 Teaches, doesn't just fix — closes the vibe-coding understanding gap 👉 Point & explain — point at any code, it explains it out loud 💻 Web version + terminal — a CLI with the same brain and memory as the web GUI 🎙️ Talks with you out loud 🤖 Agent - can build new stuff & debug 🧠 Never forgets — remembers your project, stack, bugs, and fixes 🔗 One brain, everywhere — web, voice, and terminal share one memory
