On no so mini pc, plex, backups, mini apps that I build for my self, GitHub runners, homeassistant... Google photos bot yet, I am worry about Who Will manage It if I die and my family would lost all the pictures, maybe if someday one of my kids get interested in IT...

Recently I moved everything to nixos with the help of Claude, It did everything.

Re:Software for One on Saturday August 01, 2026 @07:19PM (#49139560)
I really believe in this software for one, or at least, be able to customise it as you need.

On that premise, I started building during a weekend, thanks to Claude, a small platform so I and, in theory, my family could deploy easily complex apps with a DB, emails, crons, background jobs, image processing, etc and without the risk of getting bitten by the cloud.

My family never used it, of course, but I deployed around 14 apps for me, friends, and family on a single VPS with 256 MB.

https://onvibe.run/

Later on, I discovered lovable and other services... when someone told me, " Hey, you just built lovable!

However, I really enjoyed the "design" of this system, and it's been useful for me. I am somewhat proud of the meta thing because Onvibe exposes an mcp, that allows you to build apps that can also expose MCPs...

I built a kind of paas for llms, the idea was to allow my family deploy webs cheap and easy, my family doesn't use It, but It end being very useful form mento deploy small apps. You can check It out on https://onvibe.run there is a list of forkable apps that I use.

I did some kind of meta thing, because bownI can create apps with llm (like Claude) and expose an mcp on theme (like the notes and todolist apps).

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (July 2026) on Saturday July 04, 2026 @10:05AM (#48785498)
A project where you create websites by just using the chat interface of your llm. It's like a paas but oriented to llms. If your ui support mcp It should work.

There are some examples I did with opus, sonet and deepseek models: https://onvibe.run/forkable

It has pg, file uploads, emails, etc. The mcp provides tools to run migrations, snapshots, drafts, etc.

I started It to allow my wifi and daughter create their custom tools.

My trick, I just use bootstrap, ask Claude for a custom Styles following a style, palete etc. Much better experience than buying and adapting and existing bootstrap theme

Railway should try Rails
Great, I have a MacBook Pro M5 for work which i know IS really fast because the whole suite of specs run in les than two minutes, but except for that my "old" air m1 with 16g of ram feels super snappy.

I am just excited waiting future releases (in 5 or 10 years) able to run local llms for coding.

During the last year, in my spare time, I have been working on https://trypulso.com. The system has been working fine for the last year, and I have a real customer using it. I not even finished the landing page, but you can try it if you like.

Also, this Christmas I took a rest on Pulso, and I developed a small app to monitor the version & Support Lifecycle of large dependencies. https://stacktodate.club

Show HN: Monitor when your tech stack goes EOL

https://stacktodate.club

A typical Rails app runs on Rails 7.2, Ruby 3.2, and PostgreSQL 15. It works fine. No one checks the support timelines. Then one day, Ruby 3.2 hits EOL and stops receiving security patches. Your stack is now technically unsupported, but upgrading these big dependencies takes months of planning and coordination. This is just a small example; imagine a company with many apps using different tech...

Re:Lowtype: Elegant Types in Ruby on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @01:51PM (#46124952)
I love it, I liked what dry-initializer and dry-struct do, and I wanted something similar but simpler than RBS or Sorbet.

I tried once myself to implement something like lowtype, but without success.

Good, but I lost my trust in them, so my next NAS will be something else.
Re:Ask HN: What's the ideal stack for a solo dev in 2025 on Thursday March 27, 2025 @05:14PM (#43498267)
I like Ruby on Rails + Postgres, GoodJob for background Jobs, sveltejs for complex widgets, bootstrap as CSS framework, vite for "compiling" the assets, deploy on Fly.io

Ask HN: The following steps for my project

During the last few months, I have worked on Babelfu, a translation service on top of Github.I released the first version as open source and shared it on Hackernews. I got several signups, but nobody seemed interested in setting up a project.I implemented some "public repos" where I set up some open-source projects as demos and maybe got some visits via SEO. I was also working on exposing some...

Hi, I have been building https://babelfu.com, a translation service on top of Github; it fetches the translations from your GitHub repo and commits them back, so the source of truth of the translations is the repo itself. You can forget about sync tasks, collisions between branches, etc. In the end, if there are conflicts, you manage them on Git as the rest of your code.

It is available in a very early open-source version, which I will update at some moment if I see someone interested in it.

I would be very grateful if someone gave it a try to setup a project and provided some feedback.

I am doing nothing, but I was wondering if it would make sense to combine a small LLM and SQLITE to parse date time human expressions. For example, given a human input like "last day of this month", the LLM will generate the following query `SELECT date('now','start of month','+1 month','-1 day');`

It is probably super overengineering, considering that pretty good libraries are already doing that on different languages, but it would be funny. I did some tests with chatGPT, and it worked sometimes. It would probably work with some fine-tuning, but I don't have the experience or the time right now.

I have been working on improving the editor UI (svelte), the project wizard and adding payments on https://babelfu.com

I haven't merged those improvements on the community edition (yet) because of time constraints.

The next thing I will be working on is the GitHub Marketplace.

Congrats, it looks charming. As a suggestion, it would be great if the sidebar text was larger on mobile.
Yes, I read the "Rails" docs—the same that you linked—but I wanted to see how other projects use it. My surprise was that only a public project on Github uses it.

Re:Greppability is an underrated code metric on Tuesday September 03, 2024 @08:29AM (#41434307)
I built the command line tool flatito just for the Rails i18n translations keys.

I am unsure if I like the author's approach because there are other cons, but it's a good point.
