Hey everyone,I built Indiebooks.io . A free bookkeeping app that automatically organizes your finances and fills out CRA&#x2F;IRS tax forms for you. It’s built for freelancers, indie devs, and small business owners in Canada and the US who want to stay compliant without spending weekends in spreadsheets.What it does
- Tracks income &amp; expenses automatically
- Handles GST&#x2F;HST, PST, QST (yes, even Quebec math)
- Supports US taxes and state sales tax
- Auto-fills CRA&#x2F;IRS tax forms so you can just review and file
- Lets you ask AI things like “What’s my profit this quarter?”
- 100% free — no limits, no credit card (might have to limit actual receipts image uploads if storage becomes too expansive)Why I made it:Bookkeeping tools are either too expensive or too complicated, especially for small businesses. I wanted something that just works, stays compliant, and doesn’t make you learn accounting to use it.Tech bits
- Built with NextJS, AWS, a bit of supabase, and a bunch of automations for tax logic
- Handles messy edge cases like multi-province taxes and mixed personal&#x2F;business expenses
- AI is constrained to actual numbers in your books (no hallucinated profit lol)Would love feedback on:
- Anything confusing or missing in the UI
- Tax edge cases you think it should handle
- Ideas for integrations (bank connections, Stripe, etc.)
- What would make you actually switch to it?It’s still early, but you can try it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indiebooks.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indiebooks.io&#x2F;</a>Would love to hear what you think, especially if you’re running a small business in Canada or the US.Thanks!-Max

I built Cossistant as a lightweight, open-source alternative to Intercom&#x2F;Zendesk for NextJS&#x2F;React devs. You can embed it with a simple NPM command and under 10 lines of code.The goal was so far to be a very very good human to human support platform, the next goal is to enable AI agents to auto-handle 80% of queries (train on your docs and knowledge) and eventually escalate to humans when needed.Everything is customizable with Tailwind or your custom React components.Support tools are bloated, pricey and never FEEL &#x2F; LOOK like your product, this is why it&#x27;s being shipped as part of your stack and not coming from someone else&#x27;s.It&#x27;s already generally available!Feedback&#x2F;debates are welcome, what&#x27;s missing?

we built sleek.design: you describe your app idea and it generates mobile mockups designs. it is possible to export them into html, react or figma.
it is also possible to get a prompt that can be pasted into bolt and will generate the actual app starting from the design created.this is our third huge pivot and honestly the last shot we&#x27;re giving ourselves.quick backstory: we&#x27;re 3 bootstrapped builders.
launched about a year ago with what&#x27;s now on v1.reweb.so, basically a visual builder for nextjs&#x2F;tailwind&#x2F;shadcn.
it went pretty viral and started growing, but we couldn&#x27;t get past $2k MRR.
everyone kept asking for &quot;sync with codebase&quot; but we&#x27;d built it json-first instead of code-first, so the source of truth wasn&#x27;t the code itself but an internal json representation.
this made sync basically impossible to build.
everyone kept churning and we concluded it was probably better to move on.next was landing.new: AI-generated landing pages from a description.
we made a templating engine where AI would pick and mix premade blocks.
launched it, got maybe 5 sales for less than $400.
then sonnet 3.7 came out and could just build entire landing pages from a prompt, which made our whole templating engine feel worthless.
we basically got demotivated and did no marketing at all.then we went back to reweb (reweb.so), creating an infinite canvas to design components and pages, and iterate quick.
got some customers but AI costs spiked hard and with free trials we earned almost nothing.we now understood that we kept building top-down instead of understanding real user pain first.
we were solving problems we thought existed, and couldn&#x27;t define an ICP even after tons of user interviews.
we are now aware that we kept going mainly because of sunk cost fallacy.
reaching PMF seems increasingly like a mirage, even though we have done everything possible to build the best products we can and maintain consistently high quality.we are running out of savings and, having had virtually no personal income due to low MRR, we have decided to give us two months, if we don&#x27;t start seeing good numbers by the end of the year, we&#x27;ll have to quit this.so now we&#x27;re niching down as much as possible: just mobile app mockups.
got some weak signals in interviews and that&#x27;s it.
we have reduced the free trial to the bare minimum because otherwise the costs of AI would kill us immediately.we have less than $5k left and we&#x27;re going all in on marketing and paying for sponsored content on youtube&#x2F;instagram&#x2F;tiktok.
we are also going to try some SEO, organic content, and so on.i really hope this is the right time.

I finally got around to making a tool I&#x27;ve wanted for a long time: you can basically think of it as being &quot;like Gmail for coding agents.&quot;If you&#x27;ve ever tried to use a bunch of instances of Claude Code or Codex at once across the same project, you&#x27;ve probably noticed how annoying it can be when they freak out about the other agent changing the files they&#x27;re working on.Then they start doing annoying things, like restoring files from git, in the process wiping out another agent&#x27;s work without a backup.Or if you&#x27;ve tried to have agents coordinate on two separate repos, like a Python backend and a Nextjs frontend for the same project, you may have found yourself acting as the go-between and liaison between two or three different agents, passing messages between them or having them communicate by means of markdown files or some other workaround.I always knew there had to be a better way. But it&#x27;s hard to get the big providers to offer something like that in a way that&#x27;s universal, because Anthropic doesn&#x27;t want to integrate with OpenAI&#x27;s competitive coding tool, and neither wants to deal with Cursor or Gemini-CLI.So a few days ago, I started working on it, and it&#x27;s now ready to share with the world. Introducing the 100% open-source MCP Agent Mail tool. This can be set up very quickly and easily on your machine and automatically detects all the most common coding agents and configures everything for you.I also include a ready-made blurb (see the README file in the repo) that you can add to your existing AGENTS dot md or CLAUDE dot md file to help the agents better leverage the system straight out of the gate.It&#x27;s almost comical how quickly the agents take to this system like a fish to water. They seem to relish in it, sending very detailed messages to each other just like humans do, and start coordinating in a natural, powerful way. They even give each other good ideas and pushback on bad ideas.They can also reserve access to certain files to avoid the &quot;too many cooks&quot; problems associated with having too many agents all working on the same project at the same time, all without dealing with git worktrees and &quot;merge hell.&quot;This also introduces a natural and powerful way to do something I&#x27;ve also long wanted, which is to automatically have multiple different frontier models working together in a collaborative, complementary way without me needing to be in the middle coordinating everything like a parent setting up playdates for their kids.And for the human in the loop, I made a really slick web frontend that you can view and see all the messages your agents are sending each other in a nice, Gmail-like interface, so you can monitor the process. You can even send a special message to some or all your agents as the &quot;Human Overseer&quot; to give them a directive (of course, you can also just type that in manually into each coding agent, too.)I made this for myself and know that I&#x27;m going to be getting a ton of usage out of it going forward. It really lets you unleash a massive number of agents using a bunch of different tools&#x2F;models, and they just naturally coordinate and work with each other without stepping on each other&#x27;s toes. It lets you as the human overseer relax a bit more as you no longer have to be the one responsible for coordinating things, and also because the agents watch each other and push back when they see mistakes and errors happening. Obviously, the greater the variety of models and agent tools you use, the more valuable that emergent peer review process will be.Anyway, give it a try and let me know what you think. I&#x27;m sure there are a bunch of bugs that I&#x27;ll have to iron out over the next couple days, but I&#x27;ve already been productively using it today to work on another project and it is pretty amazingly functional already!

Hi HN,I had some time between jobs and used it to scratch my own itch: building the simple, non-cluttered finance calculators I was always looking for but couldn&#x27;t find without heavy tracking or confusing UIs.I focused on privacy and simplicity from the start. The tools are free and collect zero data.What I built:A precise German Payroll Deduction Calculator (for planning job changes&#x2F;salary negotiations).Maybe i want to add a tool for personal budgeting &amp; investing.Current Tech Stack: Ive started for the tax app with python backend and the frontend in nextjs. The second app for investing im builing in sveltekit rn which I like alot more. SVGs are self-drawn pathsI&#x27;m sharing this to get feedback on the tools themselves. If you have any suggestions for the UI&#x2F;UX, or other simple finance problems worth solving, let me know! Thanks alot!

Hi HNI have been working on Skedular a platform that helps organizations councils co working spaces and local businesses manage bookings shared spaces and multi location operations in a simple modern wayWhat Skedular does<pre><code> - Manage rooms desks studios sports facilities meeting spaces and any kind of bookable asset
 - Handle multi location multi team scenarios
 - Provide public booking pages for venues
 - Offer a clean dashboard for operators to manage availability payments customers and schedules
 - API first design for easy integration with existing systems
 - Built with modern tooling including Nextjs NET backend PostGIS and Kafka events
</code></pre>
Why I built itMost booking platforms are either too simple or too enterprise heavy Skedular is meant to sit in the middle powerful enough for councils or large organisations but simple enough for a local venue owner to use without training.I am currently onboarding early users and would love feedback from this community especially around UX data modelling and scaling patterns.Links<pre><code> - Public website https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getskedular.com
 - App website https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skedular.app
</code></pre>
Looking for feedbackI would appreciate thoughts on the overall concept any edge cases I might be missing suggestions for UI and UX improvements and pain points you have experienced in managing bookings or shared resourcesThanks for taking a look

# This is a NextJS
NextJS is a **framework for ReactJS**.

Wait a second ... a "framework" for React? Isn't React itself already a framework for JavaScript?

Well ... first of all, React is a "library" for JavaScript. That seems to be important for some people.

Not for me, but still, there is a valid point: React already is a framework / library for JavaScript. So it's already an extra layer on top of JS.

## Getting Started

Create Next App:

```bash
npx create-next-app
# or
yarn create next-app
```

First, run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying `pages/index.js`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

[API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) can be accessed on [http://localhost:3000/api/hello](http://localhost:3000/api/hello). This endpoint can be edited in `pages/api/hello.js`.

The `pages/api` directory is mapped to `/api/*`. Files in this directory are treated as [API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) instead of React pages.

## Why would we then need NextJS?

Because NextJS makes building React apps easier - especially React apps that should have server-side rendering (though it does way more than just take care of that).

In this article, we'll dive into the core concepts and features NextJS has to offer:

- File-based Routing
- Built-in Page Pre-rendering
- Rich Data Fetching Capabilities
- Image Optimization
- Much More

## File-based Routing

## Learn More

To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources:

- [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API.
- [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial.

You can check out [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/) - your feedback and contributions are welcome!

## Deploy on Vercel

The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new?utm_medium=default-template&filter=next.js&utm_source=create-next-app&utm_campaign=create-next-app-readme) from the creators of Next.js.
