Hey HNI’m a solo founder from Slovenia, working on a micro SaaS project called SwapBite. The idea is simple:
You type in the junk food you&#x27;re craving (like &quot;Big Mac&quot; or &quot;Chips&quot;), and AI instantly suggests a healthier alternative recipe – considering your diet, allergies, preparation time, and number of servings.I built it because I was tired of getting generic advice like “just eat a salad” when I wanted something satisfying but still healthy. As someone into nutrition and tech, I wanted to use GPT-4 to nudge people into better choices without guilt.I’m using:OpenAI API for the food intelligenceNestJS + Prisma + Stripe for the backendTailwind + React for the frontendHappy to share tech stack or details. It’s still early, but it works! Feedback, suggestions or roastings are all welcome.
Live here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;swapbite.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;swapbite.com</a>Would love to hear:Is this something you&#x27;d use personally?Any ideas for how to make it more helpful&#x2F;fun?Thanks!– Gaber

<pre><code> Hey HN! I built Paper, a paper trading platform that actually simulates the messy reality of trading - slippage, partial
 fills, market impact, and real execution logic.

 The Problem: Most paper trading platforms give you fantasy fills at perfect prices. You develop a strategy that works great
 in simulation, then lose money when you go live because it never accounted for real market dynamics.

 What Makes Paper Different:
 - Simulates 22 real brokers with their exact rules, restrictions, and fee structures
 - Real market dynamics: slippage, partial fills, market impact
 - Configurable latency profiles: Retail (50-250ms), Institutional (20-100ms), Colocated (0.5-5ms), or Custom
 - L1 NBBO price feeds with realistic fill prices
 - Extended hours trading (4am-8pm ET)
 - Full margin trading (Reg T and Portfolio Margin with SIMPLE&#x2F;SPAN&#x2F;TIMS)
 - Short selling with proper locate requirements
 - Real PDT rule enforcement

 First Trading Platform with MCP (Model Context Protocol):
 We&#x27;re the first to ship MCP support! Test your trading strategies with Claude directly:
 - npm install @paperinvest&#x2F;mcp-server
 - Build and backtest strategies using AI
 - Claude can place trades, check positions, analyze performance
 - Full API access through MCP tools

 Tech Stack:
 - NestJS backend with PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka
 - Next.js 15 frontend
 - SSE for real-time order streaming
 - REST API + MCP server
 - AWS deployment

 Pricing:
 - Free: 5 trades&#x2F;day, basic orders, cash account
 - Pro ($20&#x2F;mo): Unlimited trades, all order types, margin accounts, extended hours
 - Commercial ($500+&#x2F;mo): Multi-account support for businesses

 Coming Soon: Options trading (full multi-leg strategies) and futures

 I&#x27;m a solo developer. Built this because I was tired of strategies that worked perfectly in ThinkorSwim&#x27;s paper trading but
 failed with real money due to unrealistic fills.

 Would love feedback! What broker rules or market dynamics do you wish paper trading platforms simulated better?</code></pre>

Hey HN,I built Fotify, a tool to simplify the chaos around event photos and RSVPs.At most events, guests take amazing photos—but they stay on their phones, or get shared days later in fragmented WhatsApp groups or Google Drives. Invitations and RSVPs are often handled on completely separate tools.Fotify solves that with one simple QR code.
Guests scan it → upload photos → they appear live on a photo wall. Meanwhile, organizers manage digital invites and RSVPs from the same dashboard. No app installs, no logins.Some features:Live photo uploads and display during the eventAI moderation and full-quality downloadsDigital invitations with RSVP trackingOptional photographer tools for uploading and organizing large setsBuilt with NextJS, NestJS, Cloudflare R2&#x2F;Images&#x2F;WorkersWould love your feedback on the product, pricing, or anything you think could break.Try it at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fotify.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fotify.app</a>

With Firebase Dynamic Links now deprecated and Branch offering opaque pricing, I built Rowt (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;console.rowt.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;console.rowt.app</a>) - an open source NestJS server scaffold for deep links and analytics. It includes a TypeScript SDK for Expo and web apps, with React Native improvements coming soon (I welcome native devs who would like to help &lt;3)Key features:- Choice of Postgres or SQLite- TypeORM migrations (no SQL or DB setup)- Single and multi-tenant support- Built-in authentication and JWT handling- Cleanup jobs for expired links&#x2F;data- Separate Console SDK for analytics dashboards- Multi-project management - one instanceYou can go from zero to running locally in 5 minutes, configurable via config file and env vars.For those who prefer not to self-host, there&#x27;s an affordable managed option that includes a free tier (50 links&#x2F;mo) to try things out.Links:- Docs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.rowt.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.rowt.app</a>- GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Rowt-Deeplinks">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Rowt-Deeplinks</a>- NPM packages:<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;npmjs.com&#x2F;create-rowt-server" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;npmjs.com&#x2F;create-rowt-server</a><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;npmjs.com&#x2F;rowt-sdk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;npmjs.com&#x2F;rowt-sdk</a><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;npmjs.com&#x2F;rowt-console-sdk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;npmjs.com&#x2F;rowt-console-sdk</a>- Managed option: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;console.rowt.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;console.rowt.app</a>Would love any feedback.

To paint a picture: I’ve worked with Microsoft technologies almost exclusively for decades but recently I was forced to pick up some Node.js, Docker, and Linux tooling for a specific app.I can’t express in words what a giant step backwards it is from ASP.NET and Visual Studio. It’s like bashing things with open source rocks after working in a rocket manufacturing facility festooned with Kuka robots.It’s just… end-to-end bad. Everything from critical dependencies developed by one Russian kid that’s now getting shot at in Ukraine so “maintenance is paused” to everything being wired up with shell scripts that have fifty variants, no standards, and none of them work. I’ve spent more time just getting the builds and deployments to work (to an acceptable standard) for Node.js than I’ve spent developing entire .NET applications! [1]I have had similar experiences every few years for decades. I touched PHP once and recoiled in horror. I tried to get a stable build going for some Python ML packages and learnt that they have a half-life measured in days or hours after which they become impossible to reproduce. Etc…Keep on assuming “Microsoft is all bad” if you like. You’re tying both hands behind your back and poking the keyboard with your nose.PS: The dotnet SDK is open source and works fine on Linux, and the IntelliJ Rider IDE is generally very good and cross-platform. You&#x27;re not forced to use Windows.[1] The effort required to get a NestJS app to have barely acceptable performance is significantly greater than the effort to rewrite it in .NET 9 which will immediately be faster and have a far bigger bag of performance tuning tools and technologies available if needed.

Microsoft Dependency Has Risks

After working with Django for years, I kept feeling something was missing — a fast, developer-friendly CLI to scaffold code and structure apps quickly.Frameworks like NestJS, Laravel, and AdonisJS let you spin up models, services, or entire modules with one command. That developer experience is what makes them so productive — and Django didn’t have that natively.So I built django-smartcli, a Python package that brings a Laravel-style CLI to Django projects.Why I built it:
 • Save time on every new app&#x2F;module
 • Avoid repetitive boilerplate
 • Make Django feel more “modern”
 • Learn how to publish a real Python packageWould love any feedback, thoughts, or ideas. Contributions welcome!

I think this would vary a lot between &quot;real&quot; code basis. I have had a lot of success when using somewhat stricter frameworks, with typed interfaces, and requiring well defined unit tests, and modules which ecapsulate a lot of logic.Basically like Java Spring Boot or NestJS type projects.

Is there a half-life for the success rates of AI agents?

## Description

Nest is a framework for building efficient, scalable [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) server-side applications. It uses modern JavaScript, is built with  [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org) preserves compatibility with pure JavaScript and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming), and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming).

Under the hood, Nest makes use of [Express](https://expressjs.com/), but also, provides compatibility with a wide range of other libraries, like e.g. [Fastify](https://github.com/fastify/fastify), allowing for easy use of the myriad third-party plugins which are available.

## Installation

```js
$ npm install
```

## Getting Started

Setting up a new project is quite simple. With npm installed, you can create a new Nest project with the following commands in your OS terminal:

```js
$ npm i -g @nestjs/cli
$ nest new project-name
```

## Running the app

```js
# development
$ npm run start

# watch mode
$ npm run start:dev

# production mode
$ npm run start:prod
```

## Test

```js
# unit tests
$ npm run test

# e2e tests
$ npm run test:e2e

# test coverage
$ npm run test:cov
```

## Support

Nest is an MIT-licensed open source project. It can grow thanks to the sponsors and support by the amazing backers. If you'd like to join them, please [read more here](https://opencollective.com/nest).
