Hi guys, I've created an open source web builder framework (https://grapesjs.com) years ago, which I'm still maintaining, and now I'm excited to publish a side project based on it, Grapedrop (https://grapedrop.com). It's a simple web page builder which allows you to design and publish your web pages very quickly. The project is still in beta with a lot of stuff to improve but I'd really like to share it and hear what people think about it and maybe also get some constructive feedback.

Hi HN, I built Pxxl App — a free web hosting and deployment platform for developers in Nigeria and beyond. It’s a Nigerian alternative to Vercel, Render, and Netlify, designed for those who want a simple, fast, and barrier-free way to host both frontend and backend apps. With Pxxl App, you can connect your Git repo and deploy in seconds — no credit card, no limits. You’ll get a live subdomain like yourapp.pxxl.pro, automatic builds, and continuous deployment. It supports: • Frontend frameworks: React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and more • Backend projects: Node.js, PHP, and Python • Features like…

I've implemented a small web app — (a hassle-free hosting for markdown pages) entirely in Clojure and here is what I think: http://notehub.org/2012/6/16/how-notehub-is-built The app itself: http://notehub.org GitHub: http://github.com/chmllr/NoteHub

It's just streamed plaintext, you can curl it! It pulls my location from a shortcut on my phone that runs when I open any app (which also updates my GitHub location! https://github.com/malted). All the other stats are live.

Nostria, a fully peer-to-peer social protocol designed to eliminate reliance on centralised message relays - a common bottleneck in the Nostr ecosystem. Led by long-time open-source contributor Sondre Bjellås (https://github.com/sondreb/), they are currently raising a small pre-seed round to develop the minimum viable product (MVP) and expand our user base. We would love to get feedback from the HN community: - What do you think of the approach? - Are there any technical issues you can see? - Is anyone here experimenting with alternative Nostr architectures?

Hello guys, I wanted to get your feedback on my recent project : it aims to unify Vim configuration by aggregating some common plugins in order to provide an easy-to-use « package ». It's called vimified : https://github.com/zaiste/vimified The idea was to make it simpler than Janus (e.g. vundle instead of submodules et al.); it is also somehow similar to spf13-vim. What do you think? Thanks!

Really, that's it: an open source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify, Laravel Cloud and the likes. Obviously simpler, but it should handle the basics pretty well: - Git-based deployments: Push to deploy from GitHub with zero-downtime rollouts and instant rollback. - Multi-language support: Python, Node.js (beta), PHP (soon)... basically anything that can run on Docker. - Environment management: Multiple environments with branch mapping and encrypted environment variables. - Real-time monitoring: Live and searchable build and runtime logs. - Team collaboration:…

Meet shuttle, an open source, Rust-native platform for deploying apps with zero infra hassle. Built by a distributed YC-backed team. In order to deploy your app, all it takes is one annotation on your main function and you're good to go! At this point, we support most of the major Rust web frameworks such as; * Axum * Rocket * Tide * Poem * Tower And we’ve recently added support for Serenity, a Rust library for the Discord API — so you can even build & deploy Discord bots, for free. Our repository has a couple of examples per framework/library enabling you to get started in under 5…

Hey HN, Along with a handful of friends, I've been working on a note taking platform for the last couple years. We created a 2 minute pitch of our platform, if you'd prefer to read, maybe you'd want to checkout our README: https://github.com/lockbook/lockbook. If you don't want to do either of those things I'll try to summarize some of our core values: - everything end to end encrypted - open formats: markdown and svg - strong offline support - everything open source - native apps where possible - rust where possible Some other stuff we're proud of: - we have a CLI which…
