InsForge AI, Open-Source Agent Friendly Alternative to Supabase
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.

In plain words
InsForge AI is an open-source database backend designed as an alternative to Supabase, built specifically for AI agents and developers. It addresses common pain points by eliminating verbose security policies, simplifying authentication setup, and providing secure defaults without manual configuration. The tool is available as open-source software or as a hosted service with API access, allowing developers to build agent-friendly applications with less friction.

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: https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge) With InsForge, APIs ship with sane defaults via MCP servers — security rules are applied automatically so developers get safe behavior out of the box, without manual intervention. Both client and server code are fully open source. For a quick start in the hosted version, login to our website and create a project. Then start connecting with your coding agent and start calling our APIs directly. You can find more details in our docs. https://docs.insforge.dev/quickstart This is still an early release and we’d appreciate feedback from the community. What are your pain points when interacting with BaaS platforms? We’ll be around in the comments to answer questions. Thanks for reading!

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
