    We built InsForge because we wanted to use pure prompts to build a production-grade app faster. In practice, AI isn’t reliable enough when generating code or configuring backend pieces like schema, RLS, auth, or functions. Postgres MCP and Supabase MCP are a good starting point, but they felt more like API wrappers for agents than something designed to guide AI safely through backend tasks. So we built our own MCP server on top of Postgres and added a set of context-engineering tools to make prompt-driven workflows more predictable. It gradually turned into a Postgres-based BaaS. Key…

    Hey everyone, I wanted to share a new tool we've created called Jotte (https://jotte.ai) which we believe can be a game-changer for AI-generated longform writing like novels and research papers. As you may know, current AI like ChatGPT and GPT-3 have a token limit of around 4000 tokens or 3000 words, which limits their effectiveness for longer writing tasks. With Jotte, we've developed a graph-based approach to summarize information and effectively give AI "unlimited" memory. Jotte remembers recent details like the meal a character ate a page ago, while avoiding getting bogged down…

    Hey HN! I'd love to get some people to mess around with a little side project I built to teach myself DSPy! I've been a big fan of reading fiction + webnovels for a while now, and have always been curious about two things: how can LLMs iteratively learn to write better based on reader feedback, and which LLMs are actually best at creative writing (research benchmarks are cool, but don't necessarily translate to real-world usage). That's exactly why I built narrator.sh! The platform takes in a user input for a novel idea, then generates serialized fiction chapter-by-chapter by using DSPy to…

    Hey HN, I built a small side project: https://characterheadcanon.net/ It helps people generate oddly specific headcanons for fictional characters. You just enter a character name and a few traits or hints — it gives you back hidden motives, quirks, or backstories. The idea is not to replace writing, but to spark “what if” moments for fanfiction, OCs, or just for fun. Why? I write short fanfics sometimes, and I realized brainstorming headcanons takes time. So I thought: why not use AI to kickstart that process? How? It uses Claude Code (Anthropic) to generate text, built on…
