Superglue – open source API connector that writes its own code

Hi HN, we’re Stefan and Adina, and we’re building superglue (https://superglue.cloud). superglue allows you to connect to any API/data source and get the data you want in the format you need. It’s an open-source proxy server which sits between you and your target APIs. Thus, you can easily deploy it into your own infra. If you’re spending a lot of time writing code connecting to weird APIs, fumbling with custom fields in foreign language ERPs, mapping JSONs, extracting data from compressed CSVs sitting on FTP servers, and making sure your integrations don’t break when…

In plain words

Superglue is an open-source proxy server that connects to APIs and data sources, automatically generating the necessary code to retrieve and format data as needed. Developers deploy it in their own infrastructure to handle complex integration tasks like API connections, ERP field mapping, JSON transformation, and CSV extraction without manually writing connection code. It's designed for teams spending significant time on custom data integration work.

    Supaglue – open-source unified API2023 · ▲32

    Last month, we open-sourced Supaglue (https://github.com/supaglue-labs/supaglue) as a developer toolkit for building customer-facing Salesforce integrations. Since then, we've been iterating on our approach with users and are re-launching Supaglue as an open source unified API, starting with CRMs. With our re-launched public alpha you can: - Interact with HubSpot and Salesforce through a unified REST API - Sync data from HubSpot and Salesforce into a local Postgres cache and make reads against a normalized CRM schema - Make writes (POST and PATCH) to HubSpot and…

    We spent the past few weeks building Supaglue (https://github.com/supaglue-labs/supaglue) and would like to share an early public alpha version with you. Supaglue is an open source platform to help developers build customer-facing Salesforce integrations into their applications. Use code to define syncs for pulling objects from Salesforce into your application. Embed functional and customizable React components for your customers to configure these syncs. Why? - We built user-facing HubSpot and Salesforce integrations in a previous product we worked on and did not find an…

    If you've ever worked in a large company, you've probably encountered "shadow infrastructure": scripts nobody understands or custom connectors written once and never touched again. This glue layer isn't documented, isn't owned by anyone, and tends to break when systems are upgraded or someone leaves. It's also the part everybody dreads working on, because it's hard to understand, painful to work with, and full of unknown unknowns. We built superglue so that engineers stop wasting time on deciphering legacy APIs and documentation. superglue ingests existing glue code, SQL, configs, docs,…

    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…

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…
