24 alternatives to NoScription – No-code authentication and subscription billing

I want to get feedback on a project I've been working on to reduce the boilerplate involved in "productizing" a site. Over the past few years I've built a number of small tools or sites that I wanted to try to monetize, and each time I found that, despite their excellent APIs and documentation, integrating with auth and payment providers can take several days (or weekends in my case). This can have a big chilling effect and certainly distracts me from improving the actual product. There is prior art in this space, in particular the fantastic OAuth2-Proxy [1] which is a self-hosted solution…

    Hey HN! We built Notte, a browser infrastructure and agents platform. Many of our users automate UI workflows or extract data from sites that don’t have APIs. In practice, we noticed that once an agent understands how a site works, parts of the task can often run without a browser by interacting with the same network requests the site uses. So we built Anything API: describe a browser task, and our agent explores the site, builds a function, tests it against your description, and deploys a callable REST endpoint. No infra to manage. How the build works: - Describe the task (best results come…

    Several years ago, I had a client whose salespeople were using Excel to generate sales proposals. This was inefficient and the resulting documents looked awful, so I developed a new process for them using a no-code platform. It featured a web form that was tied to a workflow engine, and a fancy PDF got emailed to the customer to sign. When the client loved the solution, I knew I was on to something. However, the no-code platform wasn't very customizable, so I decided to rebuild the process as a SaaS product. The client's CTO wanted in and we became cofounders. Today, we passed the…

    Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12) x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle. 90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJg Problem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or…

    NoDocs▲116

    as a solo builder i was struggling to create docs for all my saas projects. there aren’t many good options out there. open-source ones and mintlify all require code, and that takes too much time. i tried doing it in notion but it never looked like proper docs and didn’t feel professional. gitbook is the only one left and like mintlify, its pro plans are too expensive for a solo maker. so i built NoDocs.io . its nocode docs builder. you can create docs for your saas or project even with a free plan using the built-in nodocs subdomain. it only shows a small nodocs branding for reach more…

    Credyt▲100

    Hey HN! I'm the founder of Credyt (https://credyt.ai). If you're running an AI product that burns $0.50+ per interaction, you need to bill customers as usage happens, not at the end of the month. Otherwise you're a bank for your customers, and you'll run out of money before they do. Why invoice-based billing doesn't work for AI: Most usage-based billing tools (Stripe Billing, Orb, etc.) were built for SaaS. They meter usage all month, then send an invoice. That works fine when your COGS is 5%. It's a disaster when you're paying your AI vendor upfront for every request and your…

    Hey HN. I'm a developer and solopreneur. Few months ago I realized I was doing the same thing over and over again: set up onboarding flow, user authentication, payments, connect a DB... So I built ExpoShip for 3 reasons: 1. Save Time and focus on what matters: building a business. 2. Avoid headaches like setting up authentication or handling in-app payments. 3. Get profitable fast. I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback. Rudolfs

    Greetings HN, I'm Nikita. I created a platform https://welovenocode.com where, at 1/10th of the cost, you can employ a no-code developer to create an MVP for your startup. The idea came from my experience four years ago with outsourcing firms. I tried to order a few designs, but they still took far more time and money than I had ever expected. Possibly because benefits have been messed up and agencies make more money for longer to suck up my project. No-code tools such as Airtable, Webflow, and Bubble began showing up at that time. I played with them, but since both…
