Show HN: I made a simple agentic framework in JavaScript https://bit.ly/3EgE8wZ

Show HN: I made a simple agentic framework in JavaScript Well, I wouldn't call it a framework, but rather an easy way to define tools and agents, allowing the agent to think and do the work. - Currently supports Open AI, and DeepSeek models. I tried building an HN title recommender agent with this framework that analyzes top-performing posts on HN and suggests titles for HN posts. And this was the agent's reply after inspecting 10 best posts: Having analyzed the top 10 performing posts on Hacker News, we've observed that successful titles are often concise, intriguing, and sometimes provocative or impactful. They tend to evoke curiosity, highlight significant issues, or reveal unexpected information. Based on these insights and considering the unique nature of your GitHub repo, which introduces an agentic framework in JavaScript, here's a suggested title and message for your Hacker News post: Title: 'EnvoyJS: A New Frontier in JavaScript - Introducing Agentic Frameworks' Lol :P Still a lot of work to do! https://bit.ly/4g4HikU January 22, 2025 at 10:18PM

Show HN: NotepadJs – A cross-platform love letter to Notepad https://bit.ly/40Jeh9S

Show HN: NotepadJs – A cross-platform love letter to Notepad As a native Windows user who switched to macOS a few years back, one thing I never got over was the simplicity and usefulness of the old school Notepad app. This app aims to recreate that very same experience, cross-platform and easily installable as a PWA. I've been using this for personal use for around 2 years and I figured it was time to share it with the world. Criticism, issues and PRs are welcome. Thanks! https://bit.ly/3Ww8fXB January 22, 2025 at 12:59PM

Show HN: Habby – A straightforward bullet journal with habit tracking https://bit.ly/4g3iOZn

Show HN: Habby – A straightforward bullet journal with habit tracking Heya HN, I started journaling about a year ago and recently landed in my perfect setup, a simple sentence to remember each day, combined with a flexible habit tracker. Over the holidays I turned this approach into a free expo app that I want to share. Basically, you get: - One sentence per day, enough to remember each day. - Flexible habit tracking (still working on finding the best UX here) - No backend, no tracking, all in device (just sentry for errors) - Clean, minimal interface - Export your data - Stats to track your progress I built this primarily for my own use, but I'd love to hear what the HN community thinks about it. Android is still in closed testing, but will be available soon. Thanks! https://bit.ly/4hm1YG0 January 22, 2025 at 10:27AM

Show HN: Restaurant Software Directory https://bit.ly/40pmdvI

Show HN: Restaurant Software Directory Hey HN! I’ve built a free directory that lists and compares restaurant software (POS, inventory management, accounting, etc.). I run a small project on the side and realized how scattered the tools are, so I put them all in one place: Any feedback is welcome, even if you’re not in the restaurant space—especially around UI, search functionality, or new features I could add. https://bit.ly/40pcLIE January 22, 2025 at 02:29AM

Show HN: Ergonomically call LLM in bulk from CLI https://bit.ly/42gfabg

Show HN: Ergonomically call LLM in bulk from CLI Hi! I've found myself repeatedly writing little scripts to do bulk calls to LLMs for various tasks. For example, run some analysis on a large list of records. There are a few "gotchas" to doing this. For example, some service providers have rate limits, and some models will not reliably return JSON (if you're asking for it). So, I've written a command for this. What I've tried to do here is let the user break up prompts and configuration as they see fit. For example, you can have a prompt file which includes the API key, rate limit, settings, etc. all together, or break these up into multiple files, or keep some parts local, or override parameters. This solves the problem of sharing settings between activities, and keeping prompts in simple, committable files of narrow scope. I hope this can be of use to someone. Thanks for reading. https://bit.ly/4hoDjAM January 20, 2025 at 11:22PM

Show HN: Terraform Provider for Inexpensive Switches https://bit.ly/4jqI26W

Show HN: Terraform Provider for Inexpensive Switches Hi HN, I’ve been building this provider for (web managed) network switches manufactured by HRUI. These switches often used in SMBs, home labs, and by budget-conscious enthusiasts. Many HRUI switches are also rebranded and sold under various OEM/ODM names (eg. Horaco, XikeStor, keepLiNK, Sodola, etc) making them accessible/popular but often overlooked in the world of infrastructure automation. The provider is in pre-release, and I’m looking for owners of these switches to test it and share feedback. My goal is to make it easier to automate its config using Terraform/OpenTofu :) You can use this provider to configure VLANs, port settings, trunk/link aggregation etc. I built this provider to address the lack of automation tools for budget-friendly hardware. It leverage goquery and has an internal SDK sitting between the Terraform resources and the switch Web UI. If you have one of these switches, I’d love for you to give it a try and let me know how it works for you! Terraform Registry: https://bit.ly/4jC5fmL OpenTofu Provider: https://bit.ly/4hiPsHi I’m happy to answer any questions about the provider or the hardware it supports. Feedback, bug reports, and ideas for improvement are more than welcome! https://bit.ly/4hpLdKh January 18, 2025 at 02:14PM

Show HN: Deploy Docker Containers Without Setting up/Managing an Infrastructure https://bit.ly/3CgXwcO

Show HN: Deploy Docker Containers Without Setting up/Managing an Infrastructure DOrch enables Engineers, Indie Hackers, and Startups to host a docker container (OCI-compatible containers at large), without having to set up or manage a container infrastructure. It comes with features like env variables management, file sharing, FREE subdomain issuance, TLS certificate management, and automatic restart, with more features in the pipeline. The console also allows you to view logs from your containers. The product idea occurred to me about 18 months ago, while working at a different startup. The strategy of the CEO was, spray-and-pray: we created lots of products hoping one would take off. Despite being a small team working on many things, I would say we tried in terms of product quality. Our products weren't what I would consider Grade-A, engineering-wise, but they worked well for the most part. However, when it came to infrastructure, we couldn't say the same. We always had one or two things breaking every now and then. Now, you would ask, why not just use Kubernetes. Well, we thought of that. But considering how small we were and how much workload we had, there was no way we could operate Kubernetes effectively. Yes, we could have also employed a managed Kubernetes solution, but for a startup which already spends a lot on core infrastructure, due to how many projects we operated, management wouldn't approve of a managed Kubernetes solution. There are also solutions like Heroku. However, as a company where containers are our standard unit of deployment, and tries to avoid platforms that try to lock customers in, Heroku and its likes were also off the table. Platforms like Render are definitely an option. But while there are many lovers of Render and similar products, we just did not like the experience. We are of the opinion that Render was doing too many things. We just wanted to deploy containers. We were not looking for a platform offering 101 ways to deploy, but instead, we wanted 1 standard and open way to deploy. In short, Render felt like trading one pain for another discomfort. The solution we eventually settled for was to come up with a crude internal solution. After taking off a few months from product development entirely, with a couple of bash scripts, python scripts, and custom-built binaries, we were finally able to fortify our infrastructure, which held up for a while. Even though we (temporarily) solved the problem, it got me thinking a lot. I came to the obvious realization that infrastructure isn't as perfect as we sometimes assume. There are still gaps in the infrastructure space and we just saw one of them. As someone who had been looking out for a problem to found a startup around, I soon began working on what would become DOrch today. On Jan 8, I launched DOrch. While the Pro & Enterprise models are our destination, the basic model which is now out ( https://bit.ly/3Wr6VoZ ) for Engineers, Indie Hackers, and Startups, offers a peak into what the Pro & Enterprise models could offer. We are currently building on the back of AWS. Our long term goal also includes operating our own data centers ourselves. We hope we get there. https://bit.ly/3Wr6VoZ January 18, 2025 at 10:35AM

Show HN: Discorch – Offline tool to browse and delete your Discord messages https://bit.ly/3PFFV1m

Show HN: Discorch – Offline tool to browse and delete your Discord messages Built this to help users manage their Discord message history. Upload your data package to browse messages and generate deletion requests that comply with Discord's requirements, all offline and locally. Discord's bulk deletion process is complex and poorly documented. With their recent push toward monetization and ads, users need better tools to control their data. Discorch makes this accessible by guiding you through the process step by step, with a simple and intuitive interface. Includes a Go CLI for attachment downloads. Search functionality needs improvement and there are some known bugs, but it works well for most use cases. Issues and PRs welcome at https://bit.ly/3Eai1s4 . I'll keep an eye on the comments for feedback and bug reports! https://bit.ly/3PFpthv January 18, 2025 at 12:00AM

Show HN: I built a credit-based system API https://bit.ly/4gOZi3T

Show HN: I built a credit-based system API Hey HN! I'm a solo developer who's been building web apps for the past two years. I kept seeing other devs struggle with clunky credit systems for usage-based pricing. So, I decided to build Creduse: a robust API that makes integrating usage-based pricing into your web app very easy. It records every credit-related action as an immutable transaction in a ledger (nope, no blockchain involved), so you don't have to worry about data integrity or complex accounting. Is this something you'd find useful for your projects? What features would make it even better for your projects? https://bit.ly/4gOZjot January 17, 2025 at 11:16AM
