   Mastra 1.0▲451

   Hi HN, we’re Sam, Shane, and Abhi, and we’re building Mastra (https://mastra.ai), an open-source JavaScript SDK for building agents on top of Vercel’s AI SDK. You can start a Mastra project with `npm create mastra` and create workflow graphs that can suspend/resume, build a RAG pipeline and write evals, give agents memory, create multi-agent workflows, and view it all in a local playground. Previously, we built Gatsby, the open-source React web framework. Later, we worked on an AI-powered CRM but it felt like we were having to roll all the AI bits (agentic workflows, evals,…

    Sora, Personal Publishing Platform▲87

    We wanted to create, to express ourselves without being judged either by strangers or some algorithm. We wanted our own space on the internet, where our photos and words would matter. So we started to build an app that can showcase our content, without having to pick a platform. You can use Sora to publish a few different content types. - Blog - Polaroid - Poster - Microblog You can either display them all on your Sora profile as a summary (like mine https://topcat.sora.city), or put any of them forward for the world to see. We plan to run this app for a long time and looking for…

    I made a privacy-first minimalist Backblaze▲236

    Creator here. I was looking for something as simple as Backblaze Personal [1] but privacy focused and open source. This is my attempt to build that. Uses PyQt6 [2] for the GUI and Pyinstaller [3] for creating the platform specific binaries. The backup engine under the hood is Restic [4]. The server code is written in Laravel [5]. All the code is on GitHub [6]. I actually really like Backblaze (even use B2 for this offering behind the scenes) so this isn't meant to throw shade their way. Just wanted a private open source alternative. Something like Bitwarden but for backups. [1]…

    Tessera Designer▲93

    Hey, A few weeks ago I randomly decided to build a seamless pattern engine for Swift/SwiftUI projects. I called it Tessera (GitHub link). It’s an open-source framework that lets you generate endlessly repeatable, seam-free patterns from pretty much anything you can build in code: shapes, SF Symbols, emojis, text, custom icons, etc. While working on it, I also built a demo app so developers could see how to use the framework. However, that demo turned out to be so much fun to play with that I decided to turn it into a full app. ## Introducing Tessera Designer Tessera Designer is a Mac…
