24 alternatives to BaselineJS Framework – Build Serverless First
I'm the technical co-founder of Baseline, and I wanted to share our latest creation with you all. After struggling with some limitations of other popular frameworks for our own startup projects, we decided to build something better—Baseline. We've designed our framework to address the specific needs of startups like ours that require scalability, reliability, and ease of use without the hefty overheads. We’re launching as an Open-source product. Baseline is built on AWS and leverages serverless technologies to offer a solution that scales automatically and is cost-effective. With other…

Open SaaS 2.0▲438I launched Open SaaS about a year and a half ago and surprisingly it’s become one of the most popular free SaaS boilerplate starters on github (https://github.com/wasp/open-saas). After 2 years of work total, I’m pleased to launch what I’m calling “Open SaaS v2.0”. Here’s a breakdown of all the features and updates I’ve made to it over time: * New Big, Shiny Things for v2.0 * - Complete redesign with Shadcn UI for a modern and consistent look (themeability coming soon...). - Script that autogenerates an LLM-friendly version of the documentation…

RedwoodJS▲203Hey everyone, I'm the original co-creator of RedwoodJS. (The framework that myself and Tom Preston-Werner, Rob Cameron and David Price built during Covid.) I had tried to build a developer tool startup (Snaplet), and failed. I rejoined the efforts to add RSC to Redwood, but I realized that we needed a much simpler framework that was closely tied to a platform (We chose Cloudflare). We started building RedwoodSDK a year ago and this is the result. An insanely simple stack. I am incredibly proud of this work, please star our repo and let me know if there's anything that doesn't resonate with…

Hi HN! I'd love to seek your insights on a fullstack web framework that employs a different approach: no build. It's not a new concept. The folks as Preact mentioned it: https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/no-build-workflows/ However, in the Web Framework market, I've yet to find many that support both "no build" and "SSR". There's always some sorts of "client mount" and "server mount" and either has (or both have) to go through a build (bundling) process. With the build process, there comes additional maintenance efforts and cognitive load. I've enjoyed wrestling…

Hi HN, we are Frank and Jay and we are working on a better way to deploy Next.js apps to AWS: https://serverless-stack.com/examples/how-to-create-a-nextjs-app-with-serverless.html We are the founders of SST, an open source framework that makes it easy to build serverless apps on AWS: https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack We found that many people in the community were looking for a better way to deploy Next.js apps to their own infrastructure and they were unhappy with the options. These were not easy to customize (Amplify Next.js) or…

Hi all, I'm one of the authors of Serverless-Stack.com — an open source guide to building full-stack apps with AWS Lambda and React. Since it's launch in 2017, it's become one of the most widely read guides for building Serverless apps. Today we are adding a new section to the guide that walks you through the best practices of building large Serverless applications. It tries to address some of the most common questions that teams have: - How should my project be structured when I have dozens of interdependent services? - How should I manage my environments? - What are the best practice for…

I really wanted to move my automation server project to a proper framework instead of the current ad hoc nightmare of inline CSS and redundant classes... But nothing seemed quite right. None of them seem suitable for deep restyling without changing markup. So, I took all the good parts of my current CSS, replaced the bad parts with things I liked from the most popular frameworks, then extracted it as a standalone library. The whole thing is 17.5kb, without minifying or removing comments. It starts with classless styles for semantic html. There is a very small set of about 5 components(The…

Hello HN! I am Ashley, author of the book Serverless Apps on Cloudflare, and I'm excited to share it with you and hopefully spread the awareness of the powerful and developer-focussed platform that Cloudflare has built, that I believe is currently flying under the radar! For years, I've been building applications on Cloudflare - from websites, to APIs, to Discord bots and everything in-between. The platform has grown hugely in the past few years, to the point it has all the essential building blocks for modern applications. It's also built with engineers in mind, the developer experience…

Hi HN, I built smollaunch.com, a lightweight launch platform for developers who want to share projects without the noise, voting games, or marketing theatrics of bigger launch sites. I’ve shipped a lot of small tools and noticed that most launch platforms are built around growth-hacking rather than genuine discovery. Many devs just want a clean place to publish something they built and get feedback from peers who care about the craft. So I made a simpler version of that. What it does: - Post your project with a short description and link - Get a clean, minimal launch page and profile - Other…
