Products that do what Ziex, a Zig web framework reaching its first release does
https://ziex.dev Ziex is a full-stack web framework for Zig. It now has most of the core pieces needed to build real applications and is preparing for its first public release (0.1.0), planned after Zig 0.17 stabilizes. Some of the current features: - Server-side rendering (fast by default) - JSX-like UI syntax in Zig - File-system routing - Client components compiled to WebAssembly - zx.db: built-in SQLite abstraction (uses D1 when deployed on - Cloudflare Workers) - zx.kv: key-value storage abstraction (uses Cloudflare KV in production) You can try Ziex without installing Zig…

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

Hey HN, We’re excited to announce Zant v0.1, an open-source TinyML SDK built in Zig, designed to optimize and deploy neural networks on resource-constrained devices. Unlike existing solutions, Zant focuses on performance, portability, and ease of integration, making it a strong alternative for anyone working on Edge AI and embedded ML. Why Zant? Most TinyML frameworks are either too high-level (requiring bloated runtimes) or too low-level (requiring extensive manual optimization). Zant bridges the gap by offering: - A lightweight but powerful code generation system to translate ML models…

A while ago I started this side project to test if I could build a rich User Interface that would have about the same level of responsiveness than a "SPA-like" app, but using only htmx[1]... I still have plenty of stuff in my roadmap, but today it's in a playable state and I thought it could be interesting to share it - as it may be a nice demonstration of a relatively rich user interface powered by htmx :-) --> https://zakuchess.com As for the stack: it's built mostly with Django, htmx and Tailwind CSS. It uses a SQLite database, and is hosted (for free) at Fly. The characters'…

It's very early days for the project, but I wanted to share it to see if there is interest. It is the final piece of the FastAPI server-side rendering stack I started building with FastHX and htmy (the two dependencies of this project besides FastAPI). Think of it as a more powerful and convenient alternative to tools like FastHTML, powered by FastAPI (without any modifications). I hope you'll like it.

Hey HN, I wanted to build something real in Zig, and I was annoyed that Postman needed an account and an internet connection just to send a GET request. So I figured I'd make something I would actually use. It kind of snowballed from there. 50,000+ lines later, it does requests, test assertions, collections, environments, CI/CD reports, import/export, and has a browser-based Web UI (`volt ui`). All in a single binary with zero external dependencies. Some numbers: - Binary size: ~4 MB (Postman: ~500 MB) - Startup: 42ms (Postman: 3-8 seconds) - RAM idle: ~5 MB (Postman: 300-800 MB) -…

I've made an open-source microframework for creating command-line (CLI) applications in the Zig programming language. It's called Chilli, and it currently provides the following features: - A declarative API for defining nested commands, flags, and positional arguments. - Type-safe parsing of arguments from the command line and environment variables. - Automatic generation of formatted `--help` and `--version` output. - Support for command aliases, persistent flags, and other common CLI patterns. You can find the project on GitHub: https://github.com/habedi/chilli

Hi HN, We’re excited to share gcx, a new CLI we’ve been building for Grafana Cloud. With the rise of agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Codex we're building faster than ever, but these agents are often blind to what’s actually happening in production. gcx brings the full power of Grafana Cloud observability to your terminal. Query production. Investigate alerts. Let the Assistant root-cause issues. Ship fixes with observability built in. Without leaving your editor. gcx also comes packaged with a skills bundle that allow agents to see and act on your production telemetry. You can ask…

Visualeaf is a MongoDB GUI I’ve been building over the past year. Stack is Electron + Angular + Spring Boot. There’s a live playground on the site if you want to try it without installing or putting in your connection (I provided one). The goal was to combine a visual workflow with the depth needed for real development work. Most existing MongoDB tools tend to optimize for either beginners or power users, but not both in the same interface. Core features: Query builder that supports full MongoDB query expressiveness + being able to drag and drop elements from the collection to the query…
