- Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
AI coding tools are enabling non-programmers to build personal apps, but critics argue the maintenance burden, cost, and security risks limit the trend to hobbyists rather than a revolution.
- From Supabase to Clerk to Better Auth
Val Town migrated from Clerk to Better Auth after encountering rate limiting, reliability issues, and a single point of failure in Clerk's authentication service.
- Show HN: Ichinichi – One note per day, E2E encrypted, local-first
A minimal daily journaling app that locks past entries to prevent editing, stores data locally with optional E2E encrypted sync via Supabase.
- Perhaps not Boring Technology after all
Current LLM coding agents no longer bias toward popular languages; they handle niche or new tools well via long context and documentation.
- I built Pinpoint: a daily mini-game for discovering your city
A developer built Pinpoint, a daily place-guessing game using Next.js, Supabase, and LLMs for riddle generation and place automation.
- Prototypes Are the New PRDs
Figma PMs use Figma Make to create high-fidelity interactive prototypes that replace traditional PRDs, enabling faster exploration, validation, and decision-making.
- First Hire | Sound for Movement
A solo music-business owner describes how treating ChatGPT Pro as a first hire over one year replaced most SaaS tools, cut expenses from 33% to 3-5% of revenue, and enabled full-stack development and generative-audio research without coding experience.
Takes
"Just use Vercel." "Just use Supabase." "Just use Clerk." Cool. Now your auth, database, and deployment are owned by 3 different companies who can change pricing whenever they want. And the rest of your product is wrapping OpenAI. At some point you have to ask yourself: what do I actually own here?
@SimonHoiberg
Supabase has raised $500M at a $10B valuation In this round we are giving @supabase employees the opportunity to cash out 25% of their vested options. We have done this in every round since inception. We do it as a “cashless transaction” so that employees don’t need to front any cash to exercise their options. This is the friendliest way we could design it until we can offer RSUs. On top of that, we give employees a 10 year exercise window: whether they stay or leave the company. The typical/default window is 3 months. IMO, equity is earned and employees shouldn't be penalized because they don't have the cash to exercise within 3 months of leaving a job (often that's the time they need the cash/certainty the most).

my solo business @postbridge_ is at $35,000 USD monthly recurring revenue (MRR) = ±$48,000 CAD for my canadian friends and me here is main breakdown of major costs to run atm - i'm wondering if i should focus on decreasing at all... maybe im overthinking it. @supabase database and storage = $860/month @vercel web hosting = $130/month @triggerdotdev backend processes = $400/month @unkeydev API management + backend host = $250/month @X API = $250/month other smaller recurring costs = $60 /month . . . TOTAL INFRA COSTS = ±$1,950/month profit margin on gross revenue = ±94% net profit margin after stripe fees = ±88% my AI bot says dont focus on cutting costs btw, but my frugal self still dreams about no monthly big bills for some reason

@Voxyz_ai
I built a @techmeme killer on crack, with ai / @firecrawl / @iframely / @vercel / @supabase / @triggerdotdev. It's wild, messy, and fun. I'm not going to launch it, but if you want to see it and understanding my building process, check it out here: https://t.co/upvjhxyCbH
