Restructuring & Simplifying "Frankenstein codes"
With the emergence of LLMs alongside the traditional sources of community shared codes (Stackoverflow, Github, etc), most coding projects are nothing more than Frankenstein codes - code generated by picking up sections from various sources and combining them together into one project - notoriously common for unskilled programmers or coders wishing to maximize productivity.
"Frankenstein.io" is an AI-powered web application designed for coders. It takes full code submissions and, using guided objectives, logically restructures the code to simplify it while ensuring the output remains exactly the same as the original. Additionally, the application includes a citation tool that tracks and cites open-source contributions and other sources from which the code is derived.
Logical Breakdown:
Code Simplification
Frankenstein.io allows users to input full code submissions, which are then analyzed and restructured using advanced AI algorithms. The primary goal is to ensure that the simplified code produces the same results as the original. Additionally, the platform provides a detailed narrative explaining the changes made during the simplification process.
Citation Tool
To enhance transparency and accountability, Frankenstein.io tracks the sources of code snippets used in the simplification process. It automatically generates citations for open-source contributions and displays these citations alongside the simplified code.
Technology Stack
Frontend
The frontend of Frankenstein.io is built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with frameworks like React.js or Vue.js. For a more robust structure, Next.js or Nuxt.js frameworks are employed.
Backend
The backend is developed using Node.js with Express.js or Python with Flask/Django. AI and ML models, such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, are used for code analysis and restructuring. The database management relies on MongoDB or PostgreSQL.
AI/ML
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is utilized for understanding code objectives, while machine learning models identify and apply code simplifications.
Version Control & Deployment
For version control, GitHub or GitLab is used. The application is containerized using Docker and orchestrated with Kubernetes. Deployment is managed on platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
Development Plan
Research & Planning
Initial steps include conducting market research to understand the target audience's needs and defining the specific objectives and requirements for the AI algorithms. Planning the user interface and user experience is also crucial.
Design & Prototyping
Wireframes and mockups for the web application are created, followed by the design of the UI/UX to ensure a seamless user experience.
AI Algorithm Development
This phase involves developing and training AI models to analyze and simplify code, as well as testing these models on various code samples to ensure accuracy.
Backend Development
Setting up the server environment and database is essential, along with developing API endpoints for code submission, analysis, and retrieval.
Frontend Development
The user interface is developed based on the designs, implementing features for code submission, viewing simplified code, and displaying citations.
Integration & Testing
AI models are integrated with the backend, followed by thorough testing to ensure the application works as expected. User testing is also conducted to gather feedback.
Deployment & Maintenance
The application is deployed to a production environment, with continuous monitoring for any issues and regular maintenance and updates.
User Flow
Code Submission
Users can submit their code through a user-friendly interface, allowing them to provide guided objectives for the AI to focus on.
Objective Setting
Users specify what they want the AI to focus on during the code analysis.
Code Analysis
The AI analyzes the code, restructures it, and ensures the output remains the same.
Simplified Code Display
Users can view the simplified code along with a narrative explaining the changes.
Citation Display
Citations for code sources are displayed alongside the simplified code.
Potential Challenges
Ensuring the AI can handle various coding languages and styles is a significant challenge, along with maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the AI's code simplification. Properly attributing sources and managing citations to avoid plagiarism is also crucial.
