In plain words
Superblocks is a platform for building internal applications, workflows, and scheduled jobs that connect to databases and APIs. It is designed for developers and technical teams who need to create business tools quickly without extensive development time. The product includes built-in security features like role-based access control, single sign-on, audit logs, and secrets management. It supports GitOps deployment, production monitoring, and allows users to extend functionality with custom code.

From the sources
Quickly build internal apps, workflows & scheduled jobs connected to your databases and APIs. Secure with Granular Permissions (RBAC), SSO, Audit Logs and Secrets Management in seconds. Deploy with GitOps and monitor production. Extend anything with code.
Superblocks lets business teams generate production AI apps on your company data, while IT manages auth, integrations, access controls and auditing centrally.
Empower business teams to build production-grade apps in your AWS private cloud, while IT and Security control integrations, permissions, auditing and policy agents. Import from Claude, Lovable, Replit and code. Build with the Superblocks MCP. Built on your own stack – database, security tooling, inference and more. "When business teams can build software on their own, the question isn't whether it happens, it’s whether we can secure and govern it. Superblocks gave us an SDLC-enabled path from prototype to production, secured in our AWS VPC, with the controls to govern at scale." "We first looked at Replit, Lovable and Vercel. None of them met the infrastructure and security requirements…from superblocks.com

Superblocks – IDE for Internal Apps, APIs and Cron Jobs2022 · superblocks.com · ▲193Hey HN, I’m Brad, one of the creators of Superblocks and a YC alum, excited to share our internal tooling IDE. As developers ourselves, we faced the problem of building tons of internal admin UIs, backends to connect siloed data, reporting jobs, and data pipelines. For UIs we would build one-off React components. For integrations, we would have to decipher vendor docs and implement auth. Finally, for reporting jobs we had to handle failures and observability – many hours of repetitive engineering effort. So we built Superblocks, an internal tooling IDE to connect to any datasource…
- ABA better visual builder for complex business logic2023 · superblocks.com · ▲66
I’m Frank, part of the engineering team re-imagining how software is built at Superblocks. We’re an extensible low-code platform that developers use to build mission-critical internal apps and workflows. We just launched “Control Blocks”, a visual builder for backend business logic that enables developers to drag and drop “blocks” (conditional, loop, parallel, try/catch, variables etc.) onto a canvas and construct cohesive business logic that reads linearly like code. The industry's approach to visual builders thus far has primarily been free-form flow diagrams where lines define the…
- G4GPT-4 powered internal tools2023 · superblocks.com · ▲18
Hey HN, I’m Brad, one of the founders of Superblocks, a programmable cloud IDE for internal tools. This week we launched a deep integration with OpenAI, giving developers a tightly integrated app layer for GPT-4 powered internal tools (components, integrations, permissions, audit logging, SSO, observability etc.). Imagine you want to create an AI chat copilot for your support team that gives them answers to customer questions from your company’s corpus of information. With Superblocks, you can directly query a vector database like Pinecone or Weaviate, feed the results into OpenAI using our…

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…

I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
