Show HN: SQL-tap now has a browser-based Web UI for real-time SQL monitoring
Hi HN, I shared sql-tap here a few weeks ago β€” a transparent SQL proxy that captures every query and lets you inspect it in real-time. Thanks for the feedback last time.<p>The biggest addition: *a built-in Web UI*. Add `--http=:8080` and open your browser β€” queries stream in via SSE, you can click t...

Show HN: ClawData – reusable data engineering patterns on top of OpenClaw (github.com)
Hi HN,<p>I build data platforms (Snowflake, dbt, Airflow) and kept seeing the same issue: starting a clean analytics stack is harder than it should be. Not because of tools β€” but because of patterns.<p>How do you structure raw vs staging vs analytics layers? How do you ingest without creating a mess...

Hey HN, we’re building Inconvo (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;inconvo.com">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;inconvo.com</a>) β€” an open-source tool to help developers build chat-with-data agents for their products.<p>Our open source repo is at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;inconvoai&#x2F;inconvo" rel="nof...

Show HN: Orchestera – Managed Apache Spark on Kubernetes in Your Own AWS Account (orchestera.com)
I built Orchestera as a PaaS that allows you to orchestrate Apache Spark clusters in your own AWS account, with no additional markup on compute via EC2 instances.<p>I built this because I was tired of the compute markup that products like AWS EMR and Databricks charge for the convenience of using Ap...

Show HN: MegaHAL in Pure SQL (github.com)
I ported Jason Hutchens&#x27; 1998 Loebner Prize-winning chatbot, MegaHAL, to run entirely inside PostgreSQL, in pure SQL. The entire lifecycle -- tokenization, learning, keyword extraction, Markov chain generation, and entropy scoring -- is implemented in standard SQL using complex CTEs. There is n...

Show HN: Axon – Let coding agents develop their own framework on Kubernetes (github.com)
I started Axon to run claude --dangerously-skip-permissions safely β€” just isolate it in an ephemeral K8s Pod and the flag isn’t dangerous anymore.<p>It grew into an orchestration tool. You apply a Task, Axon spins up an isolated Pod, the agent works autonomously, and you get back a PR link, branch n...
Ask HN: Why don't we have a global, unified database for scam reputation?
We have global protocols for email (SMTP), global databases for IP reputation (Spamhaus), and global ledgers for money (Crypto).<p>Yet, when it comes to scam prevention, the data is incredibly fragmented. If a scammer uses a specific Telegram handle, a leaked bank account, and a crypto wallet to def...

I kept losing the first few weeks of every project setting up the same things β€” Auth0, Stripe, Supabase, Resend. So I packaged it all into a production-ready Next.js boilerplate you can clone and start building on immediately. Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn&#x2F;ui, Auth0, Stripe, Supa...
