Srcbook – A TypeScript notebook for rapid prototyping

In plain words

Srcbook is an open-source TypeScript notebook that runs locally on Node.js, designed for rapid prototyping, code exploration, and collaborative development. It provides full access to the npm ecosystem and includes AI-assisted coding features that can generate code, iterate on cells with diff-based reviews, and fix compilation errors using OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models. Projects can be exported to markdown for easy sharing and version control.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Srcbook (”source-book”) is an open-source TypeScript notebook that runs locally, powered by Node.js. It shines for rapid prototyping, code exploration, and collaborating on ideas. It’s inspired by Python’s Jupyter and Elixir’s Livebook. Key features: - Full npm ecosystem access - AI-assisted coding (OpenAI…

  Srcbook – Self-hosted alternative to AI app builders2024 · github.com · ▲67

  Today we’re releasing a full AI app builder in Srcbook. We released our TypeScript notebook a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41291700) and the response was encouraging, but we kept hearing that people wanted to build interactive apps. Today we are releasing just that. You can think of it as an open-source and local version of vercel’s v0. We actually think of it as something in between an IDE and that, because we believe the code matters and don’t shy away from that: you can view and edit the code in a full editor, but prompt your way forward if that's…

  Algorithms and Data Structures in TypeScript – Free Book (~400 Pages)Mar 2026 · amoilanen.github.io · ▲65

  I started writing this book 10 years ago in JavaScript, got through a few chapters (asymptotic notation, basic techniques, start of sorting), and then abandoned it. Recently I picked it back up, converted everything to TypeScript, and used AI (Zenflow [1] + Claude Opus 4.6) to complete the remaining chapters. I provided the structure, direction, and initial chapters; the AI generated the bulk of the remaining content under a spec-driven workflow. The book covers roughly a first 1-2 year CS curriculum: sorting, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, trees, heaps, hash tables, and more. All…

  InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

  Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
