Hello! This is Jeane and Samuel and we’re building RecipeUI. RecipeUI is an open source Postman alternative that uses TypeScript to statically type and autocomplete requests. We built this because current API tools don’t deal with the fact that some APIs are just painful to work with. For us, it’s usually error after error as we try to figure out how to properly form the first request. We recorded a demo to show you how TypeScript helps us autocomplete a request correctly. https://youtu.be/O_Mly_p-g5s How does our platform improve the developer experience? The analogy is…

OpenUI▲322Thesys just open-sourced their generative UI rendering engine. Interesting timing given where Google a2ui and Vercel's json-render are headed. The difference worth noting: a2ui and json-render both treat JSONL as the contract between the LLM and the renderer. Thesys is betting that's the wrong primitive. Their engine uses a code-like syntax (OpenUI Lang) instead — LLM writes it, renderer executes it. The argument is that LLMs are fundamentally better at generating code than generating structured data, so you get cleaner output and ~67% fewer tokens. The broader vision seems to be a…

Hey everyone, We have been building SecureAI Tools -- an open-source application layer for ChatGPT and ChatPDF-like AI tools. It works with locally running LLMs as well as with OpenAI-compatible APIs. For local LLMs, it supports Ollama which supports all the gguf/ggml models. Currently, it has two features: Chat-with-LLM, and Chat-with-PDFs. It is optimized for self-hosting use cases and comes with basic user management features. Here are some quick demos: * Chat with documents using OpenAI's GPT3.5 model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br2D3G9O47s * Chat with documents…

Hey there HN! I just wrapped up an all-day documentation spree for Instant API, a JavaScript framework for easily building web APIs that implements type safety at the HTTP interface. It uses a function-as-a-service approach combined with a slightly modified JSDoc spec to automatically enforce parameter and schema validation before HTTP requests make it through to your code. You just write comments above your endpoint functions and voila, enforced type safety contracts between your API endpoints and your developers. OpenAPI specifications are generated automatically as a byproduct of simply…

Introducing the Code ChatGPT Plugin - a new era of seamless interaction between ChatGPT and your codebase. This TypeScript Code Analyzer furnishes a suite of utilities to analyze TypeScript code, enabling ChatGPT to "talk" with YOUR code. Fetch a list of all the files in your project, list of every function in a TypeScript or JavaScript file, or even get the content of a specific function, all while staying in your conversation with ChatGPT. With accessible API endpoints, you can effortlessly navigate your codebase and ask ChatGPT anything you can think of about it. Say goodbye to the days…

Hi HN! We’re excited to share our new code generator that lets you ship high-quality TypeScript SDKs, that your users will love, from your OpenAPI documents. Our ongoing goal is to help you build one SDK that runs anywhere modern JavaScript runs. This includes new runtimes like Deno and Bun in addition to the ever-popular Node.js. Additionally, the popularity of AI has meant server-sent events and file streaming are also commonplace - we wanted to cover these use cases too. This explosion in new runtimes and ways of interacting with APIs shifts cognitive burden on API developers often having…

Hi HN, I'm excited to finally launch this project. While existing tools like Postman excel at API discovery and testing, they often require us to navigate complex interfaces, manually construct requests, etc. That's why I created OpenAstra. The core idea is to combine the visual richness of traditional API tools with the simplicity of a chat interface. Think of it as "Postman meets ChatGPT" - allowing us to interact with APIs through natural conversation while retaining core essential features of traditional API tools. If you want to test an endpoint or understand what it does? Just ask. The…

I made an open source, MIT license Typescript library based on some of the latest research that generates prompt injection attacks. It is a super minimal/lightweight and designed to be super easy to use. Keen to hear your thoughts and please be responsible and only pen test systems where you have permission to pen test!

We built an open-source tool that scans your codebase and generates OpenAPI docs in minutes. Right now it supports Rails, Go, Python, and NodeJS frameworks, and we will keep adding more. It picks up routes, params, request bodies, and models directly from the code and outputs a clean OpenAPI spec you can drop into your workflow.
