{"slug": "show-hn-chat-threads", "title": "Show HN: Chat Threads", "summary": "Chat Threads, an open-source tool by developer onyourmark, lets users edit copies of ChatGPT or Claude conversations by removing turns from the middle and splitting long chats into topics, with optional AI-suggested topic assignments. The project is available on GitHub at https://github.com/onyourmark/chat-threads.", "body_md": "The reason I wrote Chat Threads was because I started cursing at the AI in the middle of a long conversation. Then I continued with the conversation.\n\nLater, I wanted to pull that part out. I didn't want to start a new branch somewhere before it happened. I just wanted to take that part out of the middle and keep everything before and after it.\n\nThat was the original idea behind Chat Threads.\n\nChat Threads lets you work with a copy of a ChatGPT or Claude conversation. You can remove turns from the middle of a conversation without changing the original, and then continue with everything before and after them intact.\n\nIt also lets you split a long conversation into separate topics. You can do that manually or optionally have an AI propose the topics and assignments for you to review.\n\nThe project is open source:\n\n[https://github.com/onyourmark/chat-threads](https://github.com/onyourmark/chat-threads)\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49382293](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49382293)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-chat-threads", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49382293", "published_at": "2026-08-21 00:48:02+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-21 01:14:09.860111+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Chat Threads", "ChatGPT", "Claude", "onyourmark", "GitHub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-chat-threads", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-chat-threads.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-chat-threads.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-chat-threads.jsonld"}}
