Show HN: PageQL – Embed SQL directly in HTML
Hi HN,I've been experimenting for some time with writing web frameworks, and I thought it's time
to publish one that I really like: it just embeds SQL directly inside HTML without any glue
language.One of the main motivators for getting this minimal was the Hundred Year Web Seervice with htmx presentation by Alexandrer Petros (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lASLZ9TgXyc), that showed that both HTML and SQL have staying power,
but he couldn't really find a perfect gl
Show HN: Burla – Scale Python to 10,000 VM's with one line of code.
Hi HN!
We're Jake, Jack, and Joe, and we're the makers of Burla, an open-source, batch-processing platform for python.We were frustrated by how slow and difficult it can be to iterate on large batch processing pipelines.
Simple small changes necessitated rebuilding docker containers, waiting for GCP-batch, or AWS-batch pipelines to redeploy, and waiting for vm's to cold boot, a >5minute per iteration dev cycle, all just so I can see what error my code throws this time, then do
Show HN: Paladin – An AI trigger to fix your sh*t production bugs
Everyone hates production bugs. Users get frustrated. Engineers get paged. Development gets delayed. But what if many of those bugs could be fixed automatically?Enter Paladin, a tool I built that automatically sends you a pull request to fix bugs shortly after they occur.A little over a month ago, I posted my hacky but effective AI setup for fixing production bugs to Reddit (https://redd.it/1jibmtc). 300+ devs messaged me or commented wanting to try it out, so I’ve been spendi
Show HN: Mid-level Node.js helpers for building a front-end website
Hi HN. I can't stop trying new ways to write my websites, and the web world is ever evolving. For both reasons, I stopped trying to write a build tool for developing front-ends, and wrote some helpers for Node.js that ideally would be part of <i>any</i> front-end build tool. They're high-enough level that you could use them directly, and low-enough level that you could build a framework on top of them (Vite could refactor itself to use them and remove a lot of its own code).
Show HN: X402 – an open standard for internet native payments
Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12)x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle.90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJgProblem:
Every time we want to use a new API we have to:

Show HN: VizDiff – Visual diff testing for Storybook via GitHub
Hey HN,I built VizDiff, a streamlined visual regression testing tool specifically designed for Storybook components. I found existing services like Chromatic powerful, but often too feature-heavy or costly for smaller teams and bootstrapped startups.VizDiff simplifies automated screenshot testing—capturing component snapshots in CI, clearly highlighting pixel-level visual changes, and helping teams catch UI regressions before they reach production.My main goal was accessibility and ease of integ
Ask HN: Is vibe coding overhyped or am I missing something?
In the recent months / weeks I'll ready so many headlines about "AI will be able to create whole applications easily", "No coders needed, everything will be AI", "Vibe Coding is the future" so I thought I'd try it out.
I've been building React Apps and TypeScript Backends for a few years so I am not a total newbie. I wanted to create a simple React Native App which has a Bottom Sheet and display a map.
Already at the first step - creating the map

Show HN: Open-source sound effects and react library to spice up your website
Hi all, I've been using sound effects in a few web-projects lately (mostly for notifications) and it's always a pain to find good sound effects and then handle them in the browser. So, I compiled my learnings into an easy-to-use React library. It currently has ~70 sound effects (MIT licensed) and I'm happy to add more if you have any requests.<p>PS. the sound effects can of course be used without the React library!

Thanks a lot in advance!
Ask HN: Who decided codenames were a good idea?
Forgive my possibly young take and mix between a rant and a question on this topic, but who in their right mind decided that using codenames to identify a particular software version was a good idea?
For the longest time this has always completely infuriated me, at first, when I usually helped my family members with their apple devices, I had to work with "It worked with High Sierra" or "the software page says it needs Big Sur", which mean absolutely nothing to anyone not act
Show HN: I built a job board for impact-focused jobs in climate, health and more
Hi HN – I’m Nico, a PM working in climate tech. Over the past few years, I kept hearing from people who want to work in impactful fields — like sustainability, health, or education — but don’t know where to start.At the same time, I’ve seen how hard it is for mission-driven startups to attract great, aligned candidates without getting buried on generalist job boards.So I built Impakt (https://impakt.work) — a simple, curated job board for purpose-driven roles in climate, health, sustai

GhostHub hit 10K lines – now I'm burning out. What would you do?
I’ve been developing GhostHub, a swipe-based media server for personal libraries. It doesn’t need accounts or setup; just run it and share instantly. It has real-time viewing sync, anonymous chat, and automatic indexing with thumbnail previews.After recently releasing version 1.2, I planned to dive straight into more ambitious features like transcoding and a config server. But managing bandwidth optimization, Docker builds, UI/UX improvements, and backend refinements has started to become o
