    Hi HN, Today we’re launching PowerSync, a Postgres<>SQLite bi-directional sync engine that enables an offline-first app architecture. It currently supports Flutter, React Native and web (JavaScript) using Wasm SQLite in the browser, with more client SDKs on the way. Conrad and I (Ralf) have been working on our sync engine since 2009, originally as part of a full-stack app platform. That version of the system is still used in production worldwide and we’ve learnt a lot from its use cases and scaling. About a year ago we started on spinning off PowerSync as a standalone product that is…

    Hey all, I just wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past month. After years of heavy frameworks, I really like the idea of using htmx, but it’s a little too low level for me and needs a thin layer above it to facilitate things like components, better syntax with complex JS inside of an attribute, etc To try and solve this problem with a very minimal stack (golang + htmx) that I've been really enjoying, I'm building this project to cater to my needs and was thinking it would be useful for other developers.

    Hi HN, I’m building templUI – a UI kit for templ, styled with TailwindCSS. It includes a CLI installer to add and manage components (like: templui add button modal) – inspired by shadcn&#x2F;ui. templUI – The UI Kit for templ Goals: - Help Go devs build UIs faster with well-structured, minimal components - No JS frameworks – just Vanilla JS - HTMX-friendly, but optional - CSP-compliant by default - Built for enterprise use and long-term scaling Currently at v0.7x, with 1000+ commits and 500+ GitHub stars. It's already used in production projects and evolving fast. * Website:…

    Hi HN, I'm Mohammed, a technical founder who loves shipping and giving back to the community. I'm open-sourcing the full-stack engine that powers my B2B product, apflow.co. What it is: A production B2B starter with a Go backend and Next.js frontend. Both are fully Dockerized with separate containers. No Vercel. No Supabase. Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…

    No gc, No goroutines, Produces small binaries while using the unmodified official go toolchain, and comes with complete Web SDK (generated from w3c&#x2F;webref). We are building `pcz` to provide a reimagination of Go the language, in an effort to make it suitable for all kinds of programming tasks, and currently you can use it to build efficient web applications in Go using the generated Web SDK (as shown with the live web demo[1]). The journey is just starting, any suggestions? or any critics? [1]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;primecitizens.github.io&#x2F;livedemos&#x2F;10-plat-web&#x2F;

    I wanted to build a persistent message queue based on SQLite, because that's what I'm using for my main state anyway. This gives me ACID across state and messaging, which is nice! I've been inspired by the terminology of AWS SQS for this, but it's obviously much simpler. Maybe you can use it too. :)

    Tech stack: Go + templ + htmx There are some rough edges but this combo is quite refreshing after React. The best thing is that I could omit npm from my stack. Having just a monolith (Go) server greatly simplifies things if you're an indie dev.

    SQLite encryption at-rest is a hot requested feature of both the “default” CGo driver [1] and the transpiled alternative driver [2]. So, this is a feature I wanted to bring to my own Wasm based Go driver&#x2F;bindings [3]. Open-source SQLite encryption extensions have had a troubled last few years. For whatever reason, in 2020 the (undocumented) feature that made it easy to offer page-level encryption was removed [4]. Some solutions are stuck with SQLite 3.31.1, but Ulrich Telle stepped up with a VFS approach [5]. Still, their solution seemed harder than something I'd want to maintain, as it…

    Golang is an incredible language for web development. That being said, indie developers and small businesses will likely miss extensive resources found in other projects like Django. Although building an application from the ground up using the standard library is possible, it can be error prone and time consuming. Pocketbase has almost everything an indie developer needs, supporting database, authentication, and file storage into a single, easy-to-deploy executable. Combined with HTMX, and you can created a full stack web application without bloated front end frameworks. That being said,…

    Hey everyone! I just released v1.0.0 of gomponents last week. It's an HTML component builder in pure Go, with a DSL-like HTML syntax. It's been 4 years in the making, and makes it really easy to build HTML in your web apps.

    Hey all! I extracted out the stack of libraries I found myself using over and over for my projects in case anyone else would find them useful. This template uses go, templ, HTMX, echo, and mage and has worked pretty well for several projects. It isn't really a framework, more a jumping off point with all the boilerplate done for a server side rendered go app. It is still a work in progress and I would love feedback on it!

    I've been exploring clean architecture and fullstack development in Go. This is a demo application with: - SSR frontend (pure Go templates) - REST API backend (modular design with internal packages) - Dockerized setup (frontend + backend + compose) - Taskfile for automation Inspired by common SaaS platform patterns. Code structure is intentionally clear, with backend and frontend separated, and all dependencies kept minimal.

    I built GoSMig for my own projects and open-sourced it in case it helps others. It’s a tiny generic library (no external deps except golang.org&#x2F;x&#x2F;term) for writing SQL migrations in Go with compile-time checks. It supports transactional and non-transactional migrations, rollback, status, version, and a small CLI handler so you can ship your own migration binary. Why another migrator? - Minimal API, no DSL or file layout to learn - Type-safe via Go generics - Works with database&#x2F;sql and sqlx out of the box - Should work with any db library (or wrapper) that implements some…

    Hello HN, I've just released a new migration tool for Go that mimics the functionality of Ruby on Rails migrations. It's designed to help Go developers manage database schema changes with ease. This allows you several benefits: - Write type-safe migrations - Auto down of migrations whenever it's possible - Easy backfill even with business logic because it's Go code - Painless integration with existing schema - sql.DB compatible and driver agnostic (it uses your driver) I have a pretty complete API to manage Postgres schema and I am working on the SQLite one (a little more complicated due to…

    Hey! I'm a solo developer having fun learning Go. I have a side hustle and wanted to implement currency localization. I could use existing IP databases, but hosting on serverless is slow. So I built my own. I was surprised how fun it can be to use Go, and it's fast. Thankfully, Go's speed makes up for my dodgy code. Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback on my website&#x2F;API. After a few weeks of testing and losing money on ads, I'm confident it's very reliable. This isn't a promo. It's basicly free (30k lookups&#x2F;month), so there's no need to pay. Any advice or tips on how to grow and…
