Mintlify Pro costs 250 USD per month. We wanted something similar (AI assistant and nice UI), but fully customizable and cheap. So we built GibsonAI docs in 1 day for about 50 USD. How we did it: Used Lovable for UI components + rendering MDX beautifully (Markdown stored in GitHub). Built an AI Agent for docs using Agno + Memori → personalized Q&A and “smart educator.” Stored embeddings in LanceDB and metadata in our SQL DB. Bonus: We can share our reusable design templates and source code so you can deploy on Vercel (or anywhere) and skip Lovable costs. Would love feedback on what features…

I am just getting ready to release TeamPostgreSQL 1.05. You can check it out here: http://www.teampostgresql.com It is a web-based admin interface for PostgreSQL, with a lot of work put into making it a user-friendly and productive way to work with the database. Hopefully this makes it ideal for when different people need to access the database, including developers, testers, support staff, managers etc. This will be the first release after several months of beta testing and user feedback. Some feature highlights: * Pretty neat web interface (GWT powered AJAX GUI) * Comprehensive database…

As a consultant I foot my own Cursor bills, and last month was $1,263. Opus is too good not to use, but there's no way to cap spending per session. After blowing through my Ultra limit, I realized how token-hungry Cursor + Opus really is. It spins up sub-agents, balloons the context window, and suddenly, a task I expected to cost $2 comes back at $8. My bill kept going up, but was I really going to switch to a worse model? No. So I built l6e: an MCP server that gives your agent the ability to budget. It works with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Openclaw, and every MCP-compatible application.…

Show HN: SerenDB – Neon PostgreSQL fork optimized for AI agent workloads We forked Neon to make database operations faster and safer for AI agents. The goal is to enable instant experimentation with production data and catch prompt injection attacks before they hit your DB. The open-source repo is at https://github.com/serenorg/serendb The coolest current features are: 1. Time-travel queries: Query your database as it existed at any timestamp. SELECT * FROM orders AS OF TIMESTAMP '2024-01-15 14:30:00'. Essential for debugging agent decisions and auditing what data an…

Hi HN, I am a CTO/Founder usually stuck in "development hell" on long-term projects. To fix my perfectionism, I started a challenge on Jan 1st: Ship 12 startups in 12 months. This is Project #01: TierWise. The Problem: Most SaaS founders price for the US/EU market. Charging a flat $49/mo excludes huge segments of users in LATAM, India, or Southeast Asia where purchasing power is lower. Building a custom GeoIP/PPP logic for every side project is a distraction. The Solution: I built a drop-in JS widget that detects the visitor's country and calculates a discount based on…

Erwin Brandstetter is a PostgreSQL consultant with ~670k reputation and ~7k answers on Stack Overflow. Over the years, I've lost count of how often I've searched Stack Overflow for a Postgres question and ended up with an answer by Erwin Brandstetter that was exceptionally thorough and clear. I've become a better developer by learning from his responses. ErwinDB lets you browse Erwin Brandstetter's answers offline and search them quickly from a TUI. It includes semantic search, syntax highlighting, one-key opening of links in your external browser, and an "Erwin mode" that prominently…

Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new developer and I started my first project to go full production recently. It is a directory of payment processors and payment service providers. It's free to use and gives detailed info on their pricing, business model, supported business types, available countries, prohibited businesses and high risk business support. So far only 40 have been added with more to come. And I allow processors to contact me so that they're details can be added to the database. I'll eventually automate this and add verification the months to come. I hope you'll find it useful.…

My name is Elliott. For the last three years, I’ve been building a DevOps platform on the best-in-class open source platforms (Kubernetes, Elixir, PostgreSQL, Grafana, etc.). The goal is to give engineering teams access to a modern DevOps infrastructure without needing to have a full SRE/DevOps team dedicated. It’s also open source /fair source - all the source code is here → https://github.com/batteries-included/batteries-included I shipped a public beta today and would love to hear initial reactions, thoughts, and feedback. Here are details of the platform: *…

Do you want to monetize a private group/ channel/ community? Use Subjoin to create a personal membership page in minutes. It's easy to use and free to try out. No need to integrate Stripe if membership is free. - - - - I have never built something this fast, what a thrill! I saw there was no easy way to create a simple subscription page. Big platforms are confusing and expensive for simple needs. - - - - What are you building? Would love to connect with like-minded people on X: @tjmakingof

Thank you for taking some time to help me out! http://projectionable.herokuapp.com I just launched Projectionable at http://projectionable.herokuapp.com. My goal is to decrease the time it takes to get client approval for project estimates by making the estimates interactive for clients. I haven't set up Stripe yet (I'm setting up an LLC then I'll be on my way), and I'm trying to iron out the pricing strategy by the time I have that set up. Basically, I see three options: 1. Charge users to invite clients to a project. These are single transactions on a per project basis. 2. Offer monthly…

Hi HN, Bracket CEO here. Bracket lets you set up two-way and one-way syncs between Salesforce and Postgres. We’re essentially a hosting-agnostic alternative to Heroku Connect. Salesforce is the most popular CRM on the planet, but it’s way, way easier to build apps and do analysis on Postgres tables. You can use Bracket to create Postgres tables from scratch based on existing Salesforce objects, choose which fields you’d like to sync and which direction, and schedule/manage those syncs. Working with some early beta users, we’ve mostly seen these benefits: 1. Build apps and workflows on…

I'm gauging interest for a service that would help connect devs/designers/copywriters with folks who have short term projects (a few days or weeks of work). The projects would range in value, but should ideally be at least a few $100. Through Forrst, there are already thousands of such people available to work, it's just a matter of if this is interesting to the other side. If it is, would you leave your info? Thanks a ton.

Hey HN, I'm Daniel, solo dev from Germany. I built ClawHosters (https://clawhosters.com), a managed hosting platform for OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. Quick timeline: domain registered February 5th. First paying customer six days later. I probably should have spent more time on it, but it works. If you haven't seen OpenClaw, it lets you run a personal AI assistant that connects to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. Self-hosting it is absolutely possible, but it's a pain. You're dealing with Docker setup, SSL certs, port forwarding, security hardening, keeping…

Hi HN! We just shipped the public beta of the hosted version of Mathesar, our open source “intuitive spreadsheet UI, full PostgreSQL power” project. Until now, using Mathesar meant installing and running it yourself. Now you can use Mathesar for free without having to maintain your own infrastructure at https://mathesar.cloud. Mathesar Cloud is run by the Mathesar maintainers through the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that already maintains the open source project. We’re committed to ALWAYS keeping Mathesar 100% open source (no open core), nonprofit, and treat self-hosting as a first-class…

I built it for myself because ngrok didn't let me add one more domain unless I paid $12 more. I probably should've looked for alternatives before building my own, but my grudge got in the way . Once I started, I wanted to make it better than the other options. Silly, I know. No one probably cares. I plan to open source it sometime next year because I’ve got other projects to finish first. It's free until I deplete my cloud credits, then it will switch to a tier-based model with a free option.
