Show HN: Slow Code, a monthly meetup to practice coding by handHi all, I'm thinking of starting a monthly meetup (in NYC) where we spend an hour or 2 (or whatever) writing some code the old-fashioned way (no generated code). Currently looking for venues, but I put together a fun little landing page (by hand, of course) that includes an IBM 5081 punch card emulation: https://slowcode.devIf you're in the NYC area and are interested in joining, drop your email; if you have an idea for a venue let me know. Hoping to run the first event in June.And if this is a thing people are into, and you want to start your own somewhere, by all means do it, and I can update the site with info on different events/places.

Ask HN: Prototype a business idea (Low code and cheap web app and CRM)Hello,1) I have 5 business ideas and I want to build a web app for customer applications. I don't know where to start as I'm not a dev (yet).It will be a couple of forms for customer data, a hosted card capture page (probably stripe or worldpay or something), some blog pages for SEO, some way to spin up lots of landing pages for split tests, some way to aggregate and compare traffic conversion so I can optimise over time.These requirements seem pretty generic: open a bank account, insurance policy, window cleaning subscription, etc. all the same sort of journey and requirements. If I can build a generic journey then I can wrap any product over it. If the business works then I can worry about building a robust, sustainable site later when I'm making money.Simplest build is probably Wordpress + Elementor? Although I don't know PHP and WYSIWYG editors are heavy. At the other end of the scale I could write from scratch an MVC web app and host it on AWS.I don't know how to evaluate the opti
Show HN: Passively Earn BTC/Sol/Anthropic for Using Claude CodeHey guys, I built this platform out to allow users to passively earn crypto for non-intrusive highly targetted ads.One of the things that's awesome is that there's an option to receive payouts in Anthropic's pre-IPO stock (via PreStocks on Solana). So you can use Claude Code and receive Anthropic stock .Let me know what you guys think. Feedback is welcome and please give it a try to install.

Show HN: Flowcode – Turing-complete visual programming platformHey HN! I’m Gabriel, and I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on for the last few years. Flowcode is a visual programming platform that tries to combine the best of both worlds (code and visual). Over the years I found myself repeatedly drawing architectures and logic. It was always my dream to just press “run” instead of having to write them in code afterwards. But none of the visual tools I found were flexible and transparent enough for building real products.I think that visual programming fits perfectly with modern backend dev tasks that revolve around connecting different services with basic logic. Flowcode is meant to speed up and simplify those tasks, leaving more time to think about design and solve design problems. Visual programming also works really well for developing workflows involving LLM calls that are non-deterministic and require a lot of debugging and prompt tweaking.There are many other visual/low code tools, but they all offer limited control and flexib
Launch HN: Fastgen (YC W23) – Visual Low-Code Backend BuilderHi HN! I’m Constantin and together with my co-founders David and Mike we’re building Fastgen, a low code API and workflow builder with an integrated Postgres DB. You can use it to quickly build any custom business logic, cron jobs or complete backends.We just launched our public beta, you can try it out here: https://fastgen.com/. You can find demo videos https://youtu.be/O9IM7rLYIQU and https://youtu.be/Hc1CYJDEDQw.At our previous company, a student financing platform, we built several internal and external facing tools and encountered how tedious it can be to create and maintain myriads of APIs/CRUD operations. We especially felt that when building for edge cases and “what if” scenarios, as well as integrating with lots of third party services which receive, update and return data. In our case, a custom servicing platform which handled student repayments had to account for different student categories and repayment plans, while factoring in data we received from our KYC and ACH banki
Show HN: Flatstore, simplified state across ReactJS components, suck it reduxI've been using this on my projects since 2019, and it's made my life so much easier sharing and reacting to state changes across components.Redux has made life a living hell at my job trying to follow code trails for debugging.In any case, its great for personal projects. The code is very lightweight at about 300 lines and zero dependencies.flatstore unofficially supports history with undo/redo, but I haven't used it much. The hook `useWatch` is the latest update for function components to track state changes. If you still use legacy class components, it uses a similar HOC approach as redux for state changes.But I recommend converting to functional components asap, as it shrinks code a lot, and you just need get/set/useWatch to do anything.

Show HN: We built open OpenRouter that turns usage into a better modelHi HN, we built an open source model gateway. It's a single place to manage our own self hosted, frontier, and open source models in one place.It’s is rust native, built for concurrency, and implements all the config quirks across models and providers (streaming formats, tool calls, model parameters, rate limits, and different error behavior).The gateway adds under 1 ms for BYOK requests and under 2 ms when Experiential supplies the provider key. It has every major inference provider, and 1000+ models refreshed daily via a codex agent that opens a PR.Compared to other similar projects we’re open source, take no markup, allow you to mix local models with a marketplace, and use your traffic to (opt in) train you a model. Simple routing doesn’t warrant a 10% token markup.The way we do this is given standardized OTel traces, we mine representative real tasks, use text world models to simulate rollouts for various models, apply an LLM judge, and fit a nearest neighbor classifier on top of a
IMAGEShow HN: Rook – A multi-Agent harness that lives 100% in a browser extensionThis is something I have been working on, on and off, for about a year but now I feel that it is stable enough to release. It really only has two tool sets, an execute tool for arbitrary code, and a bash tool, both of which run 100% in browser.As of now it's free and you can use your ChatGPT subscription or an OpenAI endpoint. There is an optional companion PWA that allows you to drive the extension from your phone and click captchas for it remotely, which I might charge for in the future. But for now it's free and optional. The extension itself has no backend and does not collect any data.The hard part is MV3 extensions do everything they can to make sure your extension does not take up too much memory or run too long. So I rewrote durable objects in javascript to make it so that the agents in the extension can safely recover from their process randomly restarting constantly. each "agent" is an web-worker with a sqlite database and unique address.All the things I don't have to solve b
