Platform for non-technical people to build and deploy websites/apps

I launched my side project (JDoodle) here 10 years ago, and it has served millions of students, teachers and developers since then. Thanks for your feedback on the initial days. Launching a new product - JDoodle.ai. This is for non-technical users to build and deploy websites and web apps. Unlike other online AI coding platforms that are trying to be an online version of Cursor, we will focus on non-technical users and try to make it easier for them to build apps without seeing or touching code. AI is still maturing in coding, so we will provide the additional layers and guardrails required…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I launched my side project (JDoodle) here 10 years ago, and it has served millions of students, teachers and developers since then. Thanks for your feedback on the initial days. Launching a new product - JDoodle.ai. This is for non-technical users to build and deploy websites and web apps. Unlike other online AI coding platforms that are trying to be an online version of Cursor, we will focus on non-technical users and try to make it easier for them to build apps without seeing or touching code. AI is still maturing in coding, so we will provide the additional layers and guardrails required for non-tech users to build and launch confidently. Currently, users can build, deploy, integrate with other systems like Hubspot, Make, and Zapier, assign a custom domain, upload images, etc. Very soon, they can connect to a secure database and authentication system. This is a genuine effort from JDoodle's vision of making programming simpler, not just trying to ride the wave. So, I would really appreciate your feedback on how we can make it useful for the real world (not just hobbyists).

    Nous – Open-Source Agent Framework with Autonomous, SWE Agents, WebUI2024 · github.com · ▲155

    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…

    Mistle – Open-source infrastructure for running sandboxed coding agentsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲6

    Hi HN, I'm Jonathan. My co-founder, Thomas, and I started building Mistle in Feb. We saw larger tech companies like Ramp (Inspect) and Stripe (Minions) build this internally and thought an open source version should exist. We made a few very intentional decisions when working on this: 1. Credentials are kept out of the sandbox. Authorized access goes through a proxy, so agents do not directly receive credentials. 2. The harness is not our problem. We're not going to tackle things like memory, self-learning. 3. No magic. Configurations are explicit. You can bring your own keys for models,…

    Open-source AI Retool, where AI does the tooling2025 · oneshotcodegen.com · ▲7

    I have been trying to create AI retool where tooling is done via AI, to create full stack apps like internal portals, ERP apps. Which led me to an architecture where we give ai pre build component, tools and let is just do the binding, content generation work to create full stack apps. With this approach in a single prompt AI is able to generate final config jsons using chained/looped agentic llm flow and we render a full stack app with the configs at the end. I have open sourced the whole project whole code, app builder, agentic architecture, backend for you to use. Github:…

  • 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…

    Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
