Anything API▲656Hey HN! We built Notte, a browser infrastructure and agents platform. Many of our users automate UI workflows or extract data from sites that don’t have APIs. In practice, we noticed that once an agent understands how a site works, parts of the task can often run without a browser by interacting with the same network requests the site uses. So we built Anything API: describe a browser task, and our agent explores the site, builds a function, tests it against your description, and deploys a callable REST endpoint. No infra to manage. How the build works: - Describe the task (best results come…

Hi HN — solo developer here. I built this tool ~4 years ago purely to solve my own frustration with CORS and repeated proxy setup. The idea was intentionally boring: just prefix a URL and get control over the request and response. Somehow it grew to serving billions of requests per day, including usage by companies and universities. I’m sharing it here mainly to: - get technical feedback - learn what people would actually use a proxy like this for - understand what I should simplify or remove

Local development with .local domains and HTTPSfree tier, from $8/mo▲84Hi HN! I'm Jarek, and I've built this tool that allows publishing .local domains on the local network using mDNS. It also has a reverse proxy that handles HTTPS termination and port forwarding. I'm working on adding more features, like an index page with all available domains or allowing proxy redirects, so you could redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
