In plain words
Vendo is an open-source customization layer that embeds an AI agent into software products, allowing customers to build their own features and micro-apps by describing what they need. The system works within a company's existing API and brand guidelines, assembling real applications with actions, automations, and persistent state rather than throwaway generated interfaces. Users can create custom views, automate workflows, and connect tools without waiting for feature requests to be processed through traditional development cycles.

Vendo is an open-source customization layer in your product that lets every customer add the features and micro-apps they need, just by describing what they want. Until now software has been rigid, and every customer had to adapt to it. Vendo makes it dynamic, so your product shapes itself around each customer, built on your own API and inside the guardrails you set.

An open-source customization layer. Your users build their own features and micro-apps, right on top of your product. Your customers describe what they need, and your product assembles it live. Not throwaway generated UI: real micro-apps with actions, automations, and state, theirs to keep. No ticket, no roadmap, no waiting. Any slice of your product, composed into a working dashboard. UI, data, and logic assembled live. The interface builds itself. One command reads your repo and learns everything: your components and colors, your API as callable tools, your permission rules. What it builds wears your brand, runs sandboxed as the signed-in customer, and never steps outside permissions they…from vendo.run

I spent 4 years building a UI design tool with only the features I useFeb 2026 · vecti.com · ▲386Hello everyone! I'm a solo developer who's been doing UI/UX work since 2007. Over the years, I watched design tools evolve from lightweight products into bloated feature-heavy platforms. I kept finding myself using a small amount of the features while the rest just mostly got in the way. So a few years ago I set out to build a design tool just like I wanted. So I built Vecti with what I actually need: pixel-perfect grid snapping, a performant canvas renderer, shared asset libraries, and export/presentation features. No collaborative whiteboarding. No plugin ecosystem. No enterprise…

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…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
