Hey all Sharing a new piece of work I've been doing with a friend. Mu is a new micro web app platform which enables building and sharing apps instantly with storage, auth and payments built in. Apps are single file, built in the browser and rendered as an iframe. They're "micro" because they're quite literally tiny single purpose utilities like a hackernews reader or old school guest book. It's mostly at this point something that scratches a personal itch. Making app development super simple and lightweight. Sort of like living GitHub gists. And trying to build a simpler, cleaner place to…

Hi HN I'm Asim, an engineer and author of the open source project Micro (https://micro.dev). I've been on this forum in various forms since 2009. In that time I've seen a lot of shifts in the technology landscape, participated in a few and even tried to start a company myself (which ended up VC funded). In typical HN fashion, I drank the kool-aid and applied to YC around 8-10 times. I got so far as going to mountain view for an interview but never got in. I played right into the idea of starting a fast growing company and "changing the world" by solving my own problems in the…

Something basic to showcase. Write posts with AI basically. The idea is that you just enter a title and description and then hit "Write with AI" and it'll co-author the post with you and then you post it. Maybe it exists elsewhere but I don't really use X or other platforms anymore.

Hey all I'm Asim. I'm an engineer who's been hacking on an open source project called Micro for the past eight years (https://micro.dev). In that time I've done a lot of things, all Dev related but ultimately most of my career was spent working on platforms for consumer products. After many attempts I've decided the path forward is to focus on building something that solves my own problem. Micro Chat is a solution to some of the social media problems I've been having. What I've been looking for most of my life is a community. A place to belong. I scoured the internet for that with…

I can't tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I'd share and get a conversation going.

Hello Community! My name is Charles-Eugene Loubao, I am a software developer who recently turned into an Indie Maker and I am sharing my new product with you today.

Micro CRM is built to fill that need for a much simpler and cheaper contact managment platform that offers compeling features without being overwhelming. What can I do with it ? - Keep all your contacts in one place - Timestamped notes can be used to keep track of…
