Consider giving Cursor a try. I personally like the entire UI/UX, their agent has good context, and the entire experience overall is just great. The team has done a phenomenal job. Your workflow could look something like this:

1. Prompt the agent

2. The agent gets too work

3. Review the changes

4. Repeat

This can speed up your process significantly, and the UI clearly shows the changes + some other cool features

EDIT: from reading your post again, I think you could benefit primarily from a clear UI with the adjusted code, which Cursor does very well.

Tax advisor here! There is soo much potential for this tool. I work on this specific problem (for a multinational startup), and we always resort to manual research (or now LLMing our way toward interesting constructions). With this tool I can basically create a simple "starting point" for finding intelligent routes!

This deserves much more attention than it has received right now! I would consider reposting this during the weekend if I were you.

Thx for the nice words! I appreciate it. I have noticed the same: it's hard to get some exposure on HN. I used to frequent HN under a different username in my early teens, and back then (2010s) it was so much easier to get some exposure. I guess the problem is that the community has grown slightly too large. Furthermore, it's also a little bit too easy to create an account. I think if HN would resort to an invite-only approach for posting stuff, individuals would get much more exposure. But then again, getting the content out there would be difficult. I guess I will repost this in the coming days, on an "ideal" day.

If you like the tool, feel free to sign up on the TreatyHopper+ form (it's on the top right corner of the website), then I can gauge the interest from withint the industry. And it also gives some extra motivation :)

this is interesting, but it would be really nice to see the difference. If I'm checking Country A to Country B, tax burden is x

And then the proposed hops.

Good catch! Thx for the feedback. I’ll definitely add the comparison of pre- and post-treaty shopping.
