Hello HN,

I’ve always loved building frontend-only apps—those you can prototype over a weekend, host for free on GitHub Pages, and scale to millions of users. Unfortunately, AI-enabled apps complicate things, as exposing your OpenAI key to the world is obviously a no-go. This also means mobile developers often have to run their own servers.

That’s why I built ServerlessAI, an API gateway that lets you securely call multiple AI providers directly from client side using OpenAI-compatible A

diskprices.com, but for Protein Powder!

Buying protein powder is a mess, and comparing different products is frustrating, since all brands choose their own serving sizes. By collecting nutrition facts, and normalizing the serving to contain 25 grams of protein, we can properly compare price/nutrients per serving.

Inspired by diskprices.com, the idea is to provide an equally functional interface to compare products. The prices are collected once a day, currently from iHerb US. Aiming to i

I'm excited to share my journey of bootstrapping Audioscrape, a podcast exploration platform, built entirely in Rust. Despite conventional wisdom suggesting RoR, Python, or TypeScript for rapid MVP development, I chose Rust to challenge myself technically and optimize for low operational costs. The result? A performant application running on a $7/month VM, demonstrating that you can launch lean and scale efficiently.

Why Rust for a Bootstrapped MVP?
