24 alternatives to https://Miwiti.com deployable side projects
Hi, I have set up this service to help people, HN people :) start side projects. The idea is that whenever we start a new project we need to: - Register a domain - Setup email - Setup cloud flare - Setup google analytics - Create a deployment pipeline - Deploy somewhere - Configure DNS to support all this Whenever I do this I spend at least 3-4 hours doing this on a project that might not go live and where I would much rather be hacking on something rather than waiting for cloud flare to find the nameserver changes! So you pay a one time small fee plus the cost of the domain and we set all…

TLDR: I made a community where you can find builders or product owners to collab on sideprojects together with <3 A year ago i completed my first sideproject, a digital course on how to "cold email a chief information security officer". I thought and think its a great course, but of course I fell into all the traps (didnt verify a need, i thought id make it and everyone would buy automatically), i tested google ads but hated nerding on that, so i decided to find a marketing person to partner up with! But i knew no one! That got me thinking how many people with relevant knowledge that isnt…

Hey everyone! My name is Will. I’ve been leading engineering teams for over two decades. Also, first time HN user here! One of the common pains I’d encounter in nearly every product I managed was alerting end users to infrequent events like outages, global announcements, beta launches, planned maintenance, etc. We’d always need to deploy custom, one-off modals or other alerts and then have to remember to revert them later. It was always a time sink for a developer to put aside what they were working on to make this happen. This Is Not A Drill! is a simple-to-install JS SDK that makes it…

wsgrok▲7I 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.

Hey HN, I'm so excited to finally share with you what I've been working on recently. One month ago I asked my audience what they wanted to learn about Websites, APIs and Servers security [0]. From the feedback, I've identified a few recurring pain points that I've started to address (and many more) in this new book. From theory to practice, you will learn how low-level network and security protocols work. How to configure Cloudflare to secure and scale your web applications. How to create serverless applications and which database to chose with serverless functions. How to optimize your…

Been using it for about a year now in production, but rewrote it completely in golang. My first go project so far. I wanted to have something that would make my life easier. A lot of tools nowaday kinda push you towards functional deployments and that usually doesn't work for me since I like stuff like LiveView by Phoenix and Websocket stuff in general. Old vercel deployments back when they allowed to deploy docker containers was a godsend, but since they don't offer that anymore I had to use services like fly.io(which is amazing) or heroku. However I wanted something selfhosted that I could…

My friend and I left our jobs a month ago to get our side project, Cloud Cannon, ready for launch. Cloud Cannon makes it easy to get a simple website with a CMS online and launched. It does this by: 1. Syncing with Dropbox. You drag your files into Dropbox, Cloud Cannon then syncs them to our server and makes them live on the internet under the domain you've provided. 2. Integrated CMS. Have your clients update their own website using our simple CMS. Add a class of "editable" to any div you want your clients to edit. All changes your client's make will be pushed live and saved back to your…

Happy New Year HN! I’m the co-creator of Orbiter, a dead simple tool for uploading and hosting static sites. We built Orbiter for ourselves and realized it would probably be useful for others. Static site content is some of the simplest on the web, yet hosting this content has gotten increasingly complex over time. Many of you are engineers and don’t have much problem with CI/CD pipelines as a mechanism for deploying a website. This is true for me as well. But there are times when I want to just upload a simple website. I might not even want to put it under source control. And I know…

Hey HN! First post btw I want to share a product we are developing right now. It's a thing to gather your data from LinkedIn, GitHub, StackOverflow (and a couple more things in the future) and we obviously use LLMs under the hood :D So the idea of using it is that you don't need to share 69 links and docs and can use one link (or download PDF) now. When you connect all the stuff you will see your profile with a radar chart, which represents your "domains". The next thing will be a section with ai-generated-summary-bio + section with things you're open to. Then a section with work experience…

Hi HN! This is Girish/Johannes from Cloudron - https://cloudron.io! We have been working on a platform that makes it easy to run apps on your server. It all started when Google Reader was shutdown :-). We initially started writing self-hosted equivalents of popular services but quickly found that there is a ton of great self-hosted software out there. It’s just a lot of work to actually run them and keep them up-to-date. The idea with Cloudron is simple: you install the Cloudron platform on your server. You can then install apps like NextCloud, GitLab, Rocket.Chat from the App…

There are plenty of ways to deploy your apps. PaaS options like Vercel or Netlify are convenient but can get pricey as projects scale. VPS hosting is cheaper, but setting it up (Linux, networking, SSL, etc.) can be daunting. That’s why glueh-wyy-huet (https://github.com/glueh-wyy-huet) and I (https://github.com/biersoeckli) built QuickStack during our bachelor studies at Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences. QuickStack simplifies deployment by letting you deploy directly from a Git repo or Docker registry to any VPS. It’s free, open source, and…

Hi all :) Saturday, I launched my first side project. It's basically a job board for PHP devs. https://php-at.work In the moment, everyone can post a job listing for free. I review it and activate it manually. I would love to hear any kind of feedback :) I posted it already on saturday, but probably it should be better in Show HN section.

Hello everyone. Just launched my project called "SideProjectors". It's a market place to sell and buy side projects. Would love to hear your feedback on it. Better yet, would love to see if you have any side projects you would like to sell (or offer) to others. I had the idea for awhile, there has also been several "Sell HN" threads. Anyway, here's to the MVP! Thanks.

Hi HackerNews, Ruslan here. I once posted here a story how I got AWS $4k surprise bill for one day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31907374), which is why I built DollarDeploy. I believe 95% of apps don't need complicated AWS infrastructure and can be hosted using simple server from Hetzner, Digital Ocean, etc. Today I am launching an AI agent on DollarDeploy. The AI agent can automatically build and deploy your NextJS/React, Go, Rust, or other types of apps to your own servers, running all commands via SSH on your server. You just type your commands or paste your…

I am a software engineer working alone on a passion project, a website that helps you stay organized easily and efficiently. Headspace.io is a webmail, notepad, task list and calendar, all rolled into on. The basic premise is that any data in Headspace can be "tagged" and then all relevant information for a particular tag can be displayed in one screen. This is a pre-beta build and I'm hoping to get some early feedback from the wise and generous HN folks. Would you pay a small monthly fee ($5 maybe) for a service like this? http://app.headspace.io/ (This is pre-production so…

Hey HN, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on. My startup previously built B2B SaaS, and large enterprises sometimes wanted to self-host it for data residency reasons - but this was a nightmare to build and support. I chatted to other builders/founders and it seems this pain is pretty common. But people tolerate it because the biggest customers often require self-hosting. So we’ve built and open-sourced Shepherd to make it easier to manage these self-hosted deployments. It’s MIT licensed, and provides: 1 - Simplified deployment with a UI to create and manage Helm charts, for…

Most cloud PaaS cost isn’t the CPU you actually use - it’s the CPU you reserve and then sits idle 90% of the time. Traditional platforms still charge per app, even if each app barely touches the CPU. We redesigned scheduling: CPU is dynamically shared across your workloads based on real demand. You pay once for the resource, rather than multiple times for idle capacity. I'm happy to discuss technical details, scheduler design, and the challenges we encountered along the way.

Been building an x402 gate way for my local business site builder. I want to experiment with x402 more for deliverables outside of the "typical" things (e.g.: simple api calls etc.) as I believe the potential is actually a lot bigger than that. I think it can be used for "bigger" agentic deliverables, e.g.: with this you get a full pipeline (llm research, google places search, image analysis, brand guidemap etc. which than gets molded into a one pager). Changes the game from "cheap api calls" to bigger deliverables. Feel free to play around with it and let me know what you think!

Leapcell▲8Hi HN, This is Isaac, co-founder of Leapcell (https://leapcell.io/). I used to shut down small hobby projects because cloud costs and maintenance were too high. They would just sit on GitHub, unused. Leapcell lets you keep your ideas online without worrying about cost. You can deploy *up to 20 projects for free* using our serverless container architecture, so multiple projects can run simultaneously. Switch between modes as your project grows: - *Serverless*: fast cold start (<250ms), resources scale with traffic, ideal for quickly validating ideas. - *Dedicated machines*:…
