Hi HN, I’m Kiet, one of the creators of Onlook studio. I made this app that allows you to visually edit your locally running React app and write the code back to it in real-time. The purpose is to allow you to develop UI while fully owning your code the whole time. There are other visual builders out there but they either require you to upload your code to the cloud or some lengthy setup process. Onlook runs locally, deterministically, and only requires adding a plugin for the compile step (2 lines of config change). Technical details: This is technically a web browser that can point to your…

I built Velo because I wanted Superhuman's speed and keyboard workflow without the $30/month price tag or sending all my data through someone else's servers. Velo is a local-first desktop email client. Your emails live in a local SQLite database - no middleman servers, no cloud sync. It works offline and your data stays on your machine. What makes it different: - Keyboard-driven - Superhuman-style shortcuts (j/k navigate, e archive, c compose, /search). You can fly through your inbox without touching the mouse - Built with Tauri v2 + Rust backend - ~15MB binary, low memory…

I'm building Kedge, a globally distributed platform for stateful serverless apps. Here's how you make a simple static site: `echo '# Hello world!' | ssh kedge.dev` I helped build Fly.io for 4 years and shared enthusiasm for the founders' vision of a 'global Heroku'. While there, I wrote "The Serverless Server" (https://fly.io/blog/the-serverless-server/) as a study of Lambda and a sketch of a modern serverless product built around lightweight VMs. That essay was the initial inspiration for Kedge. Kedge has a fast VM orchestrator that can create code sandboxes or…

ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

Hi HN, I'm opening up the beta for IndigoStack. It's a native macOS app which provides a fresh take on how to run all the services you need for local web development. I've been building it for myself as a Laravel & Drupal developer and I'm now looking to get some beta testers on board! Check it out, and don't forget to sign up to the forums to give us your feedback! https://indigostack.app My motivation: Like many developers I've developed a love-hate relationship with the existing options for local development on a Mac. If they're virtualised, you'll often get... * high CPU usage…

Diploi▲99After 20+ years in consulting you are entitled to build your own deployment platform, right. So that's what we did. We needed something powerful, supporting all stages from development to production, where new developers can be productive in minutes. Something fun to prototype with, with minimal DevOps but still flexible enough for a wide range of projects. We identified three principles 1. Own your stack - Keep as much of your project inside the platform (also databases, S3) so development will match production and cloning and maintaining and testing, will be easy 2. Infrastructure as code…
