Show HN: Claude Artifacts" but creating real web apps 24 by antonoo | 9 comments Hey Hacker News! Launching gptengineer.app into beta today. It's like Claude Artifacts, but: - you can edit the code in your fav IDE (two-way github sync) - installs npm packages - automatically picks up build and runtime errors and fixes them - very fast, built with rust The full stack capabilities are built on supabase (prefer to not have to handle auth + user data at this point so this is owned by the user) The seed for this project was an open source experiment, posted about that previously here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36422730 Would love feedback if you give it a try! on Hacker News.

Why don't we have personalized search engines? 12 by enether | 14 comments - Search as it is today sucks - Google is an ad-engine, not a search engine - SEO is gamed all the time The end result is a search result that isn't that valuable. Why isn't there a tool that allows me to: - search good content I've read - search curated (from other people I trust) content - search books and other paid material I have bought - search my notes (that are scattered throughout 5 apps) All in one? on Hacker News. - Search as it is today sucks - Google is an ad-engine, not a search engine - SEO is gamed all the time The end result is a search result that isn't that valuable.

New top story on Hacker News: Postgres.new: In-browser Postgres with an AI interface

Postgres.new: In-browser Postgres with an AI interface 38 by kiwicopple | 63 comments hey HN, supabase ceo here This is a new service that we're experimenting with that uses PGLite[0], a WASM build of Postgres that runs in the browser. You might remember an earlier WASM build[1] that was around ~30MB. The Electric team [2] have gone one step further and created a complete build of Postgres that’s under 3MB. Their implementation is technically interesting. Postgres is normally multi-process - each client connection is handed to a child process by the postmaster process. In WASM there’s limited/no support for process forking and threads. Fortunately, Postgres has a relatively unknown built-in “single user mode” [3] primarily designed for bootstrapping a new database and disaster recovery. Single-user mode only supports a minimal cancel REPL, so PGlite adds wire-protocol support which enables parametrised queries etc. We have created https://postgres.new as an experiment. You can thi...

Show HN: I created quick and simple file converter and resizer – Converay 4 by ResumeFromSpace | 1 comments Hi, I'm a web dev and often need to convert/resize media files to get a better lighthouse/gtmetrix score. I wanted some tool to show the size after conversion as well as compare it with original. I feel Converay tool just does that. It's quick, simple & intuitive I'm using it on my own for my day-to-day tasks, but if you have any suggestions for future releases - I'm all ears. Cheers on Hacker News.
