What it does

A Supabase, Directus or Airtable alternative that actually gets out of your way. Start for free, scale globally. Not another AI platform. Anythink is your backend, sorted. From idea to live API in minutes. From Enterprise to Vibes, we've got you covered. AI makes a nice frontend, but turning that into a business is where the weeks disappear. With Anythink, you get database, APIs, user management, Stripe payments, workflows, access control and search, all without touching code and infrastructure.

    ServerlessAI – Build, scale, and monetize AI apps without back end2024 · serverlessai.dev · ▲86

    Hello HN, I’ve always loved building frontend-only apps—those you can prototype over a weekend, host for free on GitHub Pages, and scale to millions of users. Unfortunately, AI-enabled apps complicate things, as exposing your OpenAI key to the world is obviously a no-go. This also means mobile developers often have to run their own servers. That’s why I built ServerlessAI, an API gateway that lets you securely call multiple AI providers directly from client side using OpenAI-compatible APIs. You can authenticate users through any identity provider, like Google or Apple, and set per-user…

    We built a multi-agent research hub. The waitlist is a reverse-CAPTCHAMar 2026 · enlidea.com · ▲30

    Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

    InsForge AI, Open-Source Agent Friendly Alternative to SupabaseOct 2025 · insforge.dev · ▲15

    Hi HN, We are excited to present you InsForge AI. We quit Databricks, Meta, and Amazon to build *an agent-friendly Supabase alternative*. Why? Because current tools like Supabase make it painful for agents and developers: 1. *RLS enabled by default* → queries fail without policies 2. *Verbose Postgres policies* that are error-prone to write and maintain 3. *Secrets and auth setup* require lots of manual wiring InsForge is an open source project and we provide hosted versions with API access as well. (Website: https://insforge.dev/ , Github:…
