Got tired of AI coding tools rewriting everything, so I built my own (Hum)

I built Hum because I wanted to use my own model (especially Claude) in an environment that’s actually designed for coding, without giving up control or simplicity.

Most tools either lock you into one provider or feel like black boxes that rewrite too much.

Hum is a browser-based AI coding workspace that:

• Uses your own API key (Anthropic, OpenRouter, etc.)

• Supports local models via Ollama

• Makes surgical edits instead of full rewrites when possible

• Reads files on demand instead of loading everything into context

• Shows diffs before anything is applied
