    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…

    Hey HN! We’re Arne and Raban, the founders of Emdash (https://github.com/generalaction/emdash). Emdash is an open-source and provider-agnostic desktop app that lets you run multiple coding agents in parallel, each isolated in its own git worktree, either locally or over SSH on a remote machine. We call it an Agentic Development Environment (ADE). You can see a 1 minute demo here: https://youtu.be/X31nK-zlzKo We are building Emdash for ourselves. While working on a cap-table management application (think Stripe Atlas + Pulley), we found our development…

    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.

    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.

    Hi all, I wanted to reshare this after some time. I've been working on evolving my service framework into an agent harness. As all of this AI tooling has evolved its become clear to me that agents, services and workflows are part of a core system of operations which would benefit from a single framework. Previously Go Micro only enabled service development. But now it includes Agents and Workflows. What does that mean? Well firstly services which are registered in a central registry automatically become tools for agents. The service endpoints individually become callable tools via MCP.…

    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…

    Hey HN! We built a browser-based agent that runs inside an authenticated web app, watches how the app calls its own APIs, and automatically turns those into agent tools. You can think of it as an auto-generated MCP server that self-updates as the host app changes. The result is a skilled AI assistant that actually integrates deeply with any product (not just chat and RAG) with minimal effort. Check out these short demos below that show the agent in software you're probably familiar with: - Jira: https://demo.frigade.com/hn?skill=jira - Spotify:…
