really excited to see this release! i've been using TypeScript for several projects like https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad which is >250k lines of TypeScript and the speed-up makes things like running typescript check as a pre-commit hook painless

thanks DanRosenwasser and team for building such an awesome tool for so many years!

i think this underscores why having coding agents being open-source is a really good thing

i used this tool when i was at google, extremely helpful in open-sourcing things from google3 to github. still, i'm glad to just directly develop on github now :)
Re:Launch HN: Relvy (YC F24) – On-call runbooks, automated on Thursday April 09, 2026 @12:37PM (#47705843)
Interesting! tbh, we don't have any runbooks and pretty minimal telemetry set up (we're a very small team :), do you have any recommendations on which telemetry service to use to get started? right now, our services run on a combination GCP Cloud Run + Vercel
thanks! we recently added MCP support so we're figuring out how to make it easier to find & add the right MCP tools for your use case :)
Really interesting project! I tried it last week and ran into same errors and today I tried it again and it worked.

I'm curious how the Clink desktop app connects to the web app. Is it sending some kind of oauth token so you can use call Claude Code, etc, on behalf of the user?

FWIW, I created an open-source project in this space https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad/ and it's great to see people trying different approaches :)

neat! thanks for sharing
very interesting - when we ship MCP support you should be able to use nia!
we have an extensive system prompt to instruct the Supabase to follow RLS best practices: https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad/blob/de2cc2b48f2c8bfa401608c...

What you're describing as the fail-open behavior is from the Supabase platform (and not specific to any app builders): https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level...

we have features like manual context management https://www.dyad.sh/docs/guides/large-apps#manual-context-ma... which lets you select files to use in your context window
Thanks! Check out our Prompt Library feature: this way you can create reusable prompts across your apps: https://www.dyad.sh/docs/releases/0.18.0
I'm working on adding MCP support to Dyad soon! What's your favorite MCP servers? (trying to curate a list of recommended MCPs)

Show HN: Dyad, local, open-source Lovable alternative (Electron desktop app)

https://www.dyad.sh/

Hi HN!I left Google earlier this year and created Dyad, a local, open-source AI app builder made with Electron.The motivation: I tried one of the popular cloud-based AI app builders, but when I pulled down the app to run locally and debug in Cursor, it just didn’t work. So I created Dyad, an app builder that runs fully on your computer, making it easy to switch between Dyad and coding tools...

Hi HN -Just wanted to share a local vibe coding tool that I created. You can download it here (free, no sign-up): https://dyad.sh/It's open-source and on GitHub: https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyadIf you've used one of the popular vibe coding tools like lovable, v0 and bolt, but want something more flexible and without the lock-in, I think you'll like dyad.Here's a few things that makes it...

I love how Deepseek just casually drops new updates (that deliver big improvements) without fanfare.
Re:Show HN: I rewrote my Mac Electron app in Rust on Wednesday May 28, 2025 @02:23PM (#44119038)
I recently built an Electron app (http://dyad.sh/) and I looked at other options like Tauri, but Electron has such a mature ecosystem (e.g. https://www.electronforge.io/) that I was able to ship a cross-platform app in a couple weeks (Mac+Windows) and then adding Linux support was pretty trivial.

The only downside from my point of view is the large installer size for Electron apps, but it hasn't been a big issue for our users (because they will need to download quite a bit of other stuff like npm packages to actually build apps with dyad)

I tried sending an email to [email protected] (which was linked in the doc) and got:

Your message wasn't delivered to [email protected] because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail.

btw, I'm interested in trying out relace for my AI app generator tool: http://dyad.sh/

thank you! agree there's still rough edges, making lots of improvements each week to make it better :)
thank you!

I definitely want to support users who want to use cloud inference or local inference because you do need a pretty beefy machine to run the top open source models.

Right now Dyad supports React (vite), but i'm working on supporting more frameworks in the future! (other languages is probably further off)

I think practically, the nice part with Dyad is that all the code is on your computer, so if you want to switch back and forth with Cursor/VS Code, it's seamless.

If you like chat interfaces, you might like this open-source tool I built, which is basically a chat UI but it saves you the hassle of copying and pasting files https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad

Basically it's running a chat UI locally on a Git repo and you can reference files like "#foo.py" and then if you want to edit a file, you hit "Apply code" for a markdown code block and then it shows you a code diff so you can review the changes before actually updating the files. I've found this makes it much easier to curb stray edits and keep the LLM edits focused on what you actually care about.

If you're just getting started and want to keep using Pycharm, you can check out https://dyad.sh/ it's an open-source standalone AI pair programming tool so you don't need to switch IDEs. It's also focused on making it like you're pair programming with a real engineer, asking you clarifying questions and having you pick from different options when the request is unclear.

You can also check out the GitHub repo at: https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad

(disclosure: I created Dyad)

Is GitHub Down?

Unable to access GitHub starting a couple minutes ago, but all green checkmarks on https://status.github.com/. Is it just me?

Re:Comparison of Mesop with Streamlit and Gradio on Wednesday August 14, 2024 @03:37PM (#41249718)
Hey folks - I shared about Mesop on Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40567327) ~2 months ago and got a ton of really helpful feedback. For those unfamiliar, Mesop is a new open-source Python UI framework that enables you to rapidly build AI apps. We often get asked how Mesop differs from other Python UI frameworks like Streamlit and Gradio so we've created a comparison guide between Mesop and Streamlit and Gradio.

Home page: https://google.github.io/mesop/ GitHub: https://github.com/google/mesop

Please let us know if you have any feedback or questions about the comparison guide or Mesop in general. Thanks!
