Bytepiper
.txt is the new backend
What it does
Bytepiper lets you build real APIs using plaintxt files. Instead of writing backend code or managing servers, you describe your API logic in text and get a secure, live endpoint instantly. What’s new: text-first API creation, instant deployment, versioning, and project-based API management, all without backend setup. Bytepiper is unique because it removes boilerplate entirely and turns simple logic into production-ready APIs.

- PDPipelex – Declarative language for repeatable AI workflowsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲122
We’re Robin, Louis, and Thomas. Pipelex is a DSL and a Python runtime for repeatable AI workflows. Think Dockerfile/SQL for multi-step LLM pipelines: you declare steps and interfaces; any model/provider can fill them. Why this instead of yet another workflow builder? - Declarative, not glue code: you state what to do; the runtime figures out how. - Agent-first: each step carries natural-language context (purpose, inputs/outputs with meaning) so LLMs can follow, audit, and optimize. Our MCP server enables agents to run pipelines but also to build new pipelines on demand. - Open…
- FCFlowpipe – cloud scripting using HCL2023 · github.com · ▲10
Flowpipe [1] is a new open source [2] cloud scripting engine from Turbot [3]. Some of you may already use Steampipe [4], our open-source [5] tool to live query cloud APIs. We believe DevOps teams need an easier way to orchestrate their cloud, build workflows and respond to events. But - because it's DevOps - that must be in code. In Flowpipe, pipelines are written in HCL and use simple primitives for HTTP requests, executing containers, running Lambda-compatible functions, querying databases like Steampipe and more. We have also published a large ecosystem of open source Flowpipe Mods [6].…
- PCPipet – CLI tool for scraping and extracting data online, with pipes2024 · github.com · ▲49
I often find myself in situations where I need to extract some data from a website, either as one time thing or periodically (and then watch for changes). Maybe I'm tracking stocks, or a delivery, or I want to know when tickets become available to the local sauna; maybe a friend called and asked "can you get me all data from that website into a spreadsheet?" (this happens surprisingly often) I used to write one-off scripts for that, often with Python or JavaScript, but I noticed I spend about one minute getting the right CSS selectors, and then another 10 minutes setting the rest of the…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
