Croct▲387We just launched Croct Templates, a way to drop CMS-powered components into your app with a single command. It's like Shadcn, but for CMS, AB testing and personalization: * Built-in support for A/B testing, content editing, and dynamic logic * Works with existing projects (Next.js, React, etc.) * Supports community libraries via `npm://`, `shadcn-ui://`, etc. Example: ```bash npx croct@latest use shadcn-ui://block/pricing-page ``` Happy to answer any questions!

We've been building Crust (https://crustjs.com/), a TypeScript-first, Bun-native CLI framework with zero dependencies. It's been powering our core product internally for a while, and we're now open-sourcing it. The problem we kept running into: existing CLI frameworks in the JS ecosystem are either minimal arg parsers where you wire everything yourself, or heavyweight frameworks with large dependency trees and Node-era assumptions. We wanted something in between. What Crust does differently: - Full type inference from definitions — args and flags are inferred automatically. No…

Hi HN. I built Payload to make file transfers easy for less-technical users who need large/fast transfers, so I have focused on auto-discovery, drag-and-drop, visually distinct device icons. It's using Tauri (an "Electron alternative" built on Rust) which keeps my binaries small and bundles to .msi, .dmg, .deb and .appimage. No CLI, iOS or Android support (yet). The network stack is a separate binary written in Go. It uses mDNS for local network discovery and TLS over TCP or Quic, with a public Ed25519 keypair for each device. The protocol is ad-hoc and symmetrical control stream using…

Hey HN! I've built a way to launch simple, stateful React components like promotions, banners, and announcements in your web app through reusable in-app UI channels. Here's a demo of how it works: https://youtu.be/qrPip41Ecyg. The docs are here: https://docs.frigade.com/v2/platform/collections. This enables non-technical teammates to launch native, prebuilt components directly in the product UI without involving engineering. We also provide the ability to update content (i.e. CMS), track user progress/state and target components to specific users…

Awesome boilerplates for your next project

Hey HN , My product is targeted at developers who want to save 20+ hours writing the same boilerplate code. *Next Inject* is a CLI that lets you configure services such as payments, authentication, and SEO with a single command. *Next Inject* is straight to the point; you get exactly what you pay for, i.e. run `next-inject add stripe` and voila, you can now accept payments from users. Now there are products like shipfa.st that solve this problem, but for *6x* the price, and *20x* more boilerplate to overwhelm developers. Additionally, each Next Inject plugin has an optimized docs page to…

I'm working on a CLI that helps you create the boilerplate of your project in multiple languages and frameworks. In case of front-end frameworks/libraries, with cli you'll be able to create the project, set up git on your local, add the UI-framework, testing framework, and linting, and in the future releases you'll be able to even add pre-designed components. The CLI currently supports React, Angular, Vue, Svelte and Node.js will be released today. Also soon, you'll be able to deploy your applications to AWS with a single command. Appreciate your feedbacks and all the contributions are…
