In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to use Burr, an open source framework (disclosure: I helped create it), using simple OpenAI client calls to GPT4, and FastAPI to create a custom email assistant agent. We’ll describe the challenge one faces and then how you can solve for them. For the application frontend we provide a reference implementation but won’t dive into details for it.
Project mention: Bypass CORS errors while testing your APIs using Hoppscotch 🔧 | dev.to | 2024-04-17How can Hoppscotch help you intercept the API calls? 👽
Project mention: How to Build an AI FAQ System with Strapi, LangChain & OpenAI | dev.to | 2024-04-21Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.
We needed to introduce a new service for search. As we settled on using meilisearch, we needed a way to sync updates on our models with the records in meilisearch. We could've continued to use callbacks but we needed something better.
When I work with HTMX I need isolated component that can be reusable a form. So I create a PHP Function that generate the Input Datalist.
tested the end points using httpie and sometime curl
And I'll be using the OpenAPI Pet Store spec file as an example.
Project mention: Ask HN: Is Python async/await some kind of joke? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-27- Django Rest Framework has no async support? https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/7260
Project mention: Simplifying Angular Development with Swagger: A Step-by-Step Guide | dev.to | 2024-04-11Swagger is a fantastic open-source toolset that's perfect for developing and describing RESTful APIs. It offers you a user-friendly interface to understand a service's capabilities without needing to dig into the code. It even provides a way for you to interact directly with the API, which means you get to test its functionality.
Project mention: Ask HN: Does Anyone Use a "Closed Core" Software Model? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16> "Are there examples of companies adopting this model?"
Many examples across the industry:
- Autodesk AutoCAD (closed) + Plugins/Addons (many open)
- MS Windows (closed) + Many 3rd party programs (open)
- Github (closed) + Github Actions (open)
- Npm (closed) + Npm modules (mostly open)
> "What are the potential benefits or pitfalls?"
Benefits:
- Harder to replicate, the company gets to keep the "secret sauce" a secret
- Opening up a way to "extend" the platform means 3rd party developers add value to your system
- The core isn't open, so less effort is required to maintain compare to OpenSource
Pitfalls:
- Closed-source is hard to verify, company is essentially saying "trust me bro"
- Less innovation, as user's can't contribute to the core
> "How does it impact community engagement and software adoption?"
There's hardcore FOSS advocates that will hate anything not fully open. But a business has to make money and protect it's IP, having a "closed core" is one way to do that and ensure a sustainable business model.
Another approach is the opposite, open-core + closed-premium-addons. An example of this is "React Admin"

- Premium Modules Offering -> https://react-admin-ee.marmelab.com/
hey hn, supabase ceo her
we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])
we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]
the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.
on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

Disclaimer: We're an early adopter of Stainless at Mux.
I've spent more of my time than I'd like to admit managing both OpenAPi spec files [1] and fighting with openapi-generator [2] than any sane person should have to. While it's great having the freedom to change the templates an thus generated SDKs you get with using that sort of approach, it's also super time consuming, and when you have a lot of SDKs (we have 6 generated SDKs), in my experience it needs someone devoted to managing the process, staying up with template changes etc.
Excited to see more SDK languages come to Stainless!

Project mention: Simplifying Angular Development with Swagger: A Step-by-Step Guide | dev.to | 2024-04-11Swagger offers more than just a user-friendly interface for exploring APIs. It also provides multiple generators that can produce code typically written by hand. As an Angular developer, this blog post will focus on the typescript-angular generator.

Project mention: Show HN: Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-06The one similar product I had come across is Kubeshark (https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark). But admittedly the eBPF way seems more performant theoretically (given you can afford to have a modern-enough kernel). I'm really excited to see how this project develops out.
The eBPF-mode of innovation is pretty exciting, truly a fresh lens to building software. I'm also following Akita Software - the company building an eBPF paradigm of monitoring.

It has an online editor. You can easily play around with it and generate easy-to-use documentation.
