Show HN: Basecoat – All of the shadcn/ui magic, none of the React (basecoatui.com)
In a nutshell: Basecoat is a port of shadcn&#x2F;ui to HTML and Tailwind CSS. It&#x27;s a modern, themeable component library; everything from buttons to comboboxes and dialogs.<p>Why? Well, I got sick of React and moved over to a more &quot;old school&quot; stack (Python, HTMX, Alpine.js and Tailwi...

Show HN: Pages CMS 1.0.0 – Open-Source CMS for Static Sites (Next.js, Astro...) (github.com)
Back in March, I launched Pages CMS [1] on &quot;Show HN&quot; [2]. It’s a user-friendly CMS for managing the content of static sites (or apps) on GitHub.<p>Some people liked it, so I kept working on it. A couple of months in, I hit a wall as the initial version was a simple Vue.js app with a couple...
Show HN: /dev/push – An Open Source Vercel/Render Alternative (devpu.sh)
Really, that&#x27;s it: an open source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify, Laravel Cloud and the likes.<p>Obviously simpler, but it should handle the basics pretty well:<p>- Git-based deployments: Push to deploy from GitHub with zero-downtime rollouts and instant rollback.<p>-...

Show HN: An open source Vercel/Render alternative for Python apps (github.com)
I wanted to deploy Python apps but still wanted to have a polished UX experience, like Vercel has.<p>So I built &#x2F;dev&#x2F;push for myself, and then decided to open source it.<p>You can host it on a Debian&#x2F;Ubuntu box by running a single command:<p><pre><code> curl -fsSL https:&#x2F;&#x2F;r...

I prefer using Markdown files when taking notes or writing. Even more so these days when working with AI. So I thought I&#x27;d build a Notion clone on top of GitHub.<p>You can try it out at pullnotes.com, or install it yourself: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hunvreus&#x2F;pullnotes" re...

Just a tiny tool I built a while back to export the list of GitHub profiles that starred a repo (aka &quot;stargazers&quot;). I built that for a couple of my open source projects (Basecoat [1] and Pages CMS [2]) as I wanted to get a sense of who the users were.<p>It creates a CSV file with the info ...
