What it does

Goa is a Go framework that gives coding agents less code to write and one contract to reason from. Generate HTTP, gRPC, and JSON-RPC servers, typed clients, validation, and API specifications. Build AI agents, MCP servers, and tool registries with Goa-AI.

    I can't tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I'd share and get a conversation going.

    Hi all, I wanted to reshare this after some time. I've been working on evolving my service framework into an agent harness. As all of this AI tooling has evolved its become clear to me that agents, services and workflows are part of a core system of operations which would benefit from a single framework. Previously Go Micro only enabled service development. But now it includes Agents and Workflows. What does that mean? Well firstly services which are registered in a central registry automatically become tools for agents. The service endpoints individually become callable tools via MCP.…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
