    BuildKit 2.0 is our attempt at making integrations feel like shadcn/ui: simple, composable, and copy-pasteable. Instead of wiring APIs by hand, you describe what you want: ``` Create me a tool called fetchGmailEmails in my Vercel AI SDK agent using BuildKit ``` …and you've got a working Gmail integration in minutes with a single prompt. * Works with Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, MCP servers * 25k+ actions across 150+ integrations Links: [Docs](https://buildkit.picaos.com/integrations) | [Video](https://x.com/katibmoe/status/1963605221856178203) We'd…

    Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

    Termly▲82

    Hey HN! I'm one of the developers of Termly. Problem: I love using Claude Code for development, but being chained to my laptop all day wasn't working. SSH + terminal emulators felt clunky for interactive AI coding sessions. Solution: Built a WebSocket relay that mirrors your AI coding session to mobile with zero-knowledge E2E encryption. How it works: 1. npm install -g @termly-dev/cli 2. termly start (wraps your AI tool) 3. Scan QR code with mobile app 4. Your session syncs in real-time, encrypted end-to-end Tech stack: • Open source CLI (MIT licensed) - inspect the code yourself •…

    Hey HN, I'm Ivan - Founder of Vratix. I left my job 7 months ago to build tools that make backend development easier. I started with an open source library of reusable Express.js API modules that got some traction. After talking to a lot of developers, one thing became clear - backend has been somewhat ignored by the recent wave of AI coding tools. That’s why I decided to create an AI pair programmer built and designed specifically for backend engineers. I spent the last 2 months building Line0 and today I am opening up the public beta to the world. With Line0 you can get a working backend…

    Hey HN, I built Server Compass because I got tired of two extremes: paying $200+/month to Vercel/Railway for a polished deploy experience, or wrestling with self-hosted panels (Coolify, CapRover, Dokploy) that eat up half my VPS resources just to run their dashboard. The core idea: A GUI SSH client that gives you Vercel-like deployment UX on your own VPS. Nothing gets installed on your server except your apps – every command runs over SSH from your desktop. What it does: - 1-click deploys from GitHub repos or 160+ pre-built templates (Postgres, WordPress, Ghost, Supabase, n8n,…

    We built two desktop apps for developers and data scientists who want AI assistance without subscription lock-in or API proxying, or to run against local models. - Calliope AI IDE: VSCode-based, full dev environment with AI chat, live coding, and autonomous agents - Calliope AI Lab: JupyterLab under the hood, with built-in AI chat and local Postgres Both free. No account. No login. BYOK (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Ollama). How it's different from Cursor/Continue/Windsurf/Antigravity: Your API keys stay local. Requests go direct to providers – we don't route through…

    Hey HN, I pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and use Gemini through work. Four vendors, four separate conversation histories, four profiles of how I think. None of them talk to each other. Switch providers and you start over. So I built a system where the memory is mine. I run a knowledge graph in Postgres (Supabase, free tier) with pgvector for semantic search. A small MCP server reads and writes to it. That server sits behind an MCP Gateway on a $6/month VPS, along with Brave Search and a GitHub server. TypingMind connects to the gateway as a BYOK client -- any model, any device, same…

    Hey HN! Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's currently producing much better results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language. The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash). Thanks for checking it out!
