Hey HN! I built Typebase, a library that gives you Convex's DX with Supabase's openness. After trying Supabase I liked how fast it is to spin up a DB and auth, but really didn't like using RLS and SQL for authorization. With Convex I loved how your server "lives" in your code, but disliked the DB model and the realtime-first defaults. With Typebase you just write TS files inside a typebase/ folder in your existing repo. You can define your DB tables inside a schema.ts file and export server functions that your frontend calls like local functions, fully typed. Auth is built in. Then one…

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, After trying to teach a non-technical friend how to manage a Jekyll site I decided there must be a way to make building a site with a SSG easier. Options like Decap, Contentful etc. do make it a bit easier but still take lots of tech knowledge to set up. So I built Sparktype, a browser-based CMS that outputs statically-generated HTML and CSS. My goal is for it to be as easy to use as Substack or Medium, while providing all the benefits of a static site generator including openness, simplicity, speed, security and ownership. It handles most things that you'd need from a CMS, including…

Took a stab at building my own string diffing JS package. I built an interactive demo for TypeIt’s website (https://typeitjs.com/build-your-own) a while back. The approach I took to handle user input necessitated a way to calculate the difference between the versions of a user’s text input. I searched around for a package to help me out and found a couple of good ones (like fast-diff), but I either didn’t really like their API or didn’t want to take on a huge new dependency. Instead, I thought I’d give it a shot myself (famous last words). I dove into it having no real formal…

Hi HN, I’m Guillaume, the cofounder of Bearer, an Open Source SAST solution. After launching a few weeks ago here on Hacker News with support for Ruby and JavaScript stacks, I’m happy to report we’ve just released a new version (v1.2) with TypeScript support! In terms of code coverage, we use the same rules already implemented for vanilla JavaScript, but as usual, you can build your own. The rules list is here: https://docs.bearer.com/reference/rules/ It’s a first version for TS, but we believe that thanks to the pre-existing JavaScript support it should already…

I built Morph, an experimental fullstack HTML-first library for Deno, Node, and Bun. Everything returns HTML, not JSON. No React, no Vite — just plain HTML with server-side rendering. No build steps, no preprocessors, no complex configs — everything runs from a single file. Perfect for Telegram Web Apps, internal tools, simple admin panels, dashboards, or anywhere a full-blown SPA feels like overkill. Important: I built this entirely for myself — to solve my own problems. I hate complex frontend. I hate writing it. And I don’t want to waste time on it. But maybe it’ll help you too.

Hi community, we just released https://github.com/tonbo-io/typed-arrow. When working with arrow-rs, we noticed that schemas are declared at runtime. This often leads to runtime errors and makes development less safe. typed-arrow takes a different approach: - Schemas are declared at compile time with Rust’s type system. - This eliminates runtime schema errors. - And introduces no runtime overhead — everything is checked and generated by the compiler. If you’ve run into Arrow runtime schema issues, and your schema is stable (not defined or switched at runtime), this project…

After two weeks of planning and figuring out how to manage conversions safely, I have finally published the first version of my crate :) It allows you to specify your own colortypes and easily use the same syntax for converting between your custom color types! I also started working on a custom image type that can do math :)

Hi HN, author here. I built Tylax because I wanted to migrate my old LaTeX papers to Typst but found existing regex-based scripts too fragile for nested environments. Tylax parses LaTeX into an AST (using mitex-parser) and converts it to Typst code. It supports: - Full document structure (not just math snippets) - Complex math (matrices, integrals) - Experimental TikZ -> CeTZ graphics conversion - Runs in browser via WASM Repo: https://github.com/scipenai/tylax Web Demo: https://convert.silkyai.cn/ Happy to answer any questions!

Hey HN! I'm the author of SharpTS, a TypeScript interpreter and ahead-of-time compiler written in C#. *What makes it different:* - Dual execution modes - interpret TypeScript directly OR compile to native .NET executables - Full C# interop - compile TypeScript to DLLs that C# projects can reference with full type safety *What works today:* - Core TypeScript: classes, interfaces, generics, async/await, decorators - Advanced types: union/intersection types, literal types, type guards - Compiles to verifiable .NET IL with performance comparable to hand-written C# - 80+ unit tests,…
