Render▲318Hey HN, I'm Anurag, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud for application developers. We've just launched Render Workflows, a way to define durable tasks by decorating plain TypeScript or Python functions and running them on Render without operating queues, worker pools, retry logic, and state management. Code example below [1]. The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL/data pipelines, billing flows, and other long-running jobs. The model is simple: mark an existing function as a Task, deploy the repo as a Workflow, then trigger runs from your application code or via our API.…

Hey HN! Mirrorful (https://www.mirrorful.com/) is an open-source developer framework that helps front-end engineers manage their design systems. We’ve been building Mirrorful with the open-source community (https://github.com/Mirrorful/mirrorful) and wanted to share our beta with you. Check out our online demo to get the idea: https://app.mirrorful.com/. Design systems can be thought of as the “building blocks of your app” which makes me think of Lego bricks. Mirrorful helps you manage your codebase’s Lego bricks and ensure that they are…

Hey folks, I'm building a free and open-source monorepo template for "production-grade Next.js apps". Basically everything you need to go from "new idea" to "Series A level product" very quickly. It's almost at 500 stars on GitHub so I thought I might share it here. It comes pre-configured with analytics, auth, a blog, dark mode, transactional email, feature flags, monitoring, ORM + database, payments and heaps more. It's quite opinionated but very fast and very neat. I hope it helps you make something awesome.

Buildstash▲168Hey HN! We just launched open sign up on Buildstash. It's a platform for managing and sharing software binaries. I'd worked across game dev, mobile apps, and agencies - and found every team had no real system for managing their built binaries. Often just dumped in a shared folder (if someone remembered!). No system for versioning, keeping track of who'd signed off what when, or what exact build had gone to a client, etc. Existing tools out there for managing build artifacts are really focused on package repository management. But miss all the other types of software not being deployed that…

Hi HN! I've been building a CMS called Foundry, brought together from multiple smaller private projects as well as greenfield code. The short version is: it's a CMS written in Go with a focus on markdown content, a simple hook-based plugin model, themes, archetypes, preview flows, and a clean authoring/developer experience. I started working on it because I wanted something that was more powerful than Hugo for a few of my websites, without having to resort to dangling onto a database. What seems different about it, at least to me, is that I'm trying to keep the system small in concept:…
