Hi HN,I recently came across the Arazzo specification within the OpenAPI initiative. It defines a standard to express workflows involving multiple APIs. A couple of main use cases here are automatic API invocation with LLMs and automated tests.I want to auto generate API tests based on these specs and would like to see other examples. Is anyone here writing or consuming Arazzo specs?Reference:...
With the advent of DeepSeek, I was thinking if I should consider self-hosting open source LLMs vs using OpenAI APIs. Who here has done this already? And what are your main reasons, privacy or cost?
Hi HN,We built a tool designed for technical founders/DevTools that returns a list of high quality leads and the toolstack of those leads.The data is sourced from employers' job postings, which we've found to offer high accuracy mentions of their existing toolstack, and additional context about the company, i.e. information that can be used to make that first cold email more meaningful.While we...
A couple of year ago I noticed a trend that companies were sharing their tech stack on stackshare and adding a link to their careers page possibly to attract developers. I don't see that any more.I did a recent search for "playwright" that yielded ~80 results that don't seem to reflect the reality of the usage.Have people stopped sharing information on stackshare? If so, why?
We uncover product opportunities based on your ICP's thoughts on their existing tools.As founders, we've found it helpful to not only synthesise feedback from our own customers/prospects, but also understand what our ICP thinks about their existing tools. Sources like G2, X, or Slack have this data in the form of threads or comments, but it takes time to search and analyze.As we build out our...
We built a v1 that connects your Intercom with your CRM, consolidates all your customer feedback, and adds a dollar value to each insight. We’re engineers, and want to make this engineering friendly. Previously, we had to rely on PMs to give us context behind certain insights, often incomplete or subjective. We’re trying to build a solution that holds all relevant context and we’re starting...
Interesting! Has this worked for you?
Well said!
If there's no PM, I'm guessing everyone in your team talks to customers. How does the team align and prioritize multiple user pain points, requests, or insights?
Hey HN,Super curious to understand how startups without PMs or UXR conduct research or know what to build next.As an engineer and now a founder, I’m fascinated by Linear’s approach of “product teams over product managers” where the broader team collectively thinks about the product and how features are delivered, not just the PMs.I’ve never worked in such a setup, so I wanted to hear from those...

I had written a tiny Python utility for evaluating serializable infix expressions a couple of years ago (inspired by JsonLogic). Last week, I talked to an old colleague who was looking for something very identical so I thought I'd share it here.Quick examples:xpress.evaluate([[3, ">", 1], "and", [1, "<", 3]]) # Truerules = [["var:temp", "<", 110], "and", ["var:pie.filling", "==",...
Over the last week I was looking at nango.dev, and I think they have a great approach to integrations because there's not only a single API to all integrations but it's still highly customisable.This felt perfect for our current use-case. So I wanted to use them right away. However, I couldn’t. They only support a Node SDK, and our entire backend is in Python.This means working with REST APIs...

Hey HN,Shri and Robin here, cofounders of Chapter.As a former Product Manager and CTO we know the importance of creating changelogs both for internal alignment, and for customers to be informed of our latest updates.But writing them (frequently) always felt like an annoying task, knowing what to include in the changelog, and how to maintain brand voice never came easy.When done well, the story...
