During the last weeks, I've been working to create a system that allows you to convert prompts into chatbots and mini apps on platforms that everyone uses on a daily basis.
The first integrated platform is Telegram:
Telegram is a powerful platform with many integrations and features like bots, apps, games and even payments. So I thought it would be nice to make it easier to create these apps. I created a bot http://t.me/PlutonicDevBot.
Workflow is pretty simple: create or choose an existing bot and send a text/voice message about what to create just like you prompt everywhere. To get more instructions, use the /help and /howto commands.
Planning to create the same solution for Slack and Discord.
Thanks for taking a look. I would love to hear feedback.

If you've used one of the popular AI app builders like v0, lovable and bolt, but want something more flexible and without the lock-in, I think you'll like dyad.
note: dyad isn't an IDE (and not another VS code fork :) and instead is focused on people, esp. non-coders, who want an all-in-one tool to build+preview web apps in a simple intuitive desktop UI.
Here's a few things that makes it different:
- Runs locally - Dyad runs entirely on your computer, making it fast and frictionless. Because your code lives locally, you can easily switch back and forth between Dyad and your IDE like Cursor, etc.
- Run local models - I've just added Ollama integration (https://www.dyad.sh/docs/guides/ai-models/local-models), which lets you build with your favorite local LLMs.
- Free - Dyad is free and bring-your-own API key. This means you can use your free Gemini API key and get 25 free messages/day with Gemini Pro 2.5!

Tinykit is a self-hosted, self-contained alternative to Lovable/Replit/v0 designed for building small personal utility and CRUD apps (basically a "tiny app studio\u201d). It includes realtime/auth/files (via PocketBase), an embedded dev environment, content and design fields, automated backups, and an AI agent that can work across all of them. You can connect multiple domain names (or better, a wildcard subdomain) to build and deploy 100+ apps on the same server, each hosted at its own domain name. The builder/studio runs on the same Pocketbase instance, so you can iterate on any live app by just navigating to /tinykit on its domain (i.e. kanban.jane-doe.xyz/tinykit or links.jane-doe.xyz/tinykit, same server).
I built tinykit because I wanted an easy way to spin up + deploy small apps, but on a self-contained server I controlled. I\u2019ve relied on a bunch of different services and apps for everything from todos to notes to calendars to professional tools like a CRM and invoice generator. SaaS has its place, but usually my initial use case is simple enough I just want something easy to get started with that doesn't add the mental overhead of another account to manage or the possibility of the company losing it, selling it, or just shutting down. And with how good LLMs have gotten at one-shotting common apps the main thing standing in the way of building my own has been the mental effort of pulling everything together + deploying/managing; this drops that down to near-zero.
Tinykit is pretty simple under the hood. It runs a node process alongside a PocketBase instance which routes requests to apps based on which domain name they're being accessed from. Apps are written in a single Svelte file (for DX + better agent performance) and compiled to a static HTML file (they're all SPAs w/ a pre-rendered shell). It's a super low-maintenance setup, so even a $2/month VPS can run the whole thing. And of course, it's BYO API key.
I\u2019ve spent the last 6 years of my life obsessed with all-in-one architectures and building approachable tools for developers that create a smaller, more human web, and what I learned over that time influenced decisions I\u2019ve made on Tinykit. I wanted to build something that leveraged LLMs, but while enabling craft more than just an \u201cAI does everything\u201c app (actually you can technically use Tinykit without AI). That way the agent can do the heavy lifting, and humans can tweak, craft, and polish. And despite all the negative AI stuff out there, it's pretty exciting being able to use it to de-SaaS my life and replace all the ad-riddled small tools I'd resigned myself to with personal, private versions. If this excites you too I'd love to hear from you in the Discord (link in repo) or via email (address in bio).
Merry Christmas again, and happy new year! \n- Matt

Apps are written in a single Svelte file (for DX + better agent performance) and compiled to a static HTML file (they're all SPAs w/ a pre-rendered shell). It's a super low-maintenance setup, so even a $2/month VPS can run the whole thing. And of course, it's BYO API key.
I\u2019ve spent the last 6 years of my life obsessed with all-in-one architectures and building approachable tools for developers that create a smaller, more human web, and what I learned over that time influenced decisions I\u2019ve made on Tinykit. I wanted to build something that leveraged LLMs, but while enabling craft more than just an \u201cAI does everything\u201c app (actually you can technically use Tinykit without AI). That way the agent can do the heavy lifting, and humans can tweak, craft, and polish. And despite all the negative AI stuff out there, it's pretty exciting being able to use it to de-SaaS my life and replace all the ad-riddled small tools I'd resigned myself to with personal, private versions. If this excites you too I'd love to hear from you in the Discord (link in repo) or via email (address in bio).
Merry Christmas again, and happy new year! \n- Matt
btw here\u2019s a festive demo if you wanna get the full rundown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvSmtQCJRs\nmirror: https://player.mediadelivery.net/embed/555834/7c3e8dd9-0221-...","title":"Show HN: Tinykit \u2013 self-hosted Lovable, deploys to itself","updated_at":"2026-03-05T23:18:26Z","url":"https://tinykit.studio"},{"_highlightResult":{"author":{"matchLevel":"none","matchedWords":[],"value":"hawke"},"story_text":{"fullyHighlighted":false,"matchLevel":"full","matchedWords":["lovable"],"value":"Hi HN,
I built Raq.com \u2013 a platform that uses Claude Code to build working internal tools directly in the browser.
Claude Code is great at self correcting when given the right tools.
I've found that the popular web-based AI coding tools look great in demos but fail on real API integrations or require a lot of error back and forth. They don't appear to do much research or self-correcting, likely to reduce spend. I wanted to see the current state of these tools, so I ran the same prompt on five platforms (Replit, Bolt, v0, Lovable, and Raq.com) to build a tool that requires 3 different APIs (Companies House, FinUK and OpenRouter) working together.
Four platforms produced broken prototypes or needed manual fixes. Raq.com delivered a complete working solution from a single prompt (that can be deployed to live with one click).
Full test with videos: https://raq.com/real-world-test
We're in early access (requires Claude Pro/Max for free usage) - we're looking non-coders who would like to build internal tools for their team.
Some technical info:
- Raq.com provisions isolated dev and prod Docker environments for each company (companyname.raq.com and companyname-dev.raq.com).
- The dev site includes a persistent terminal streamed to the browser, so the session continues even while tab is closed.
- CLAUDE.md file provides best practices, known pitfalls, and coding patterns for the Laravel + Filament stack.
- Self-Correction Loop: Claude can test and debug its own work. It has direct shell access to a custom script that bundles PHPUnit, syntax checks, and cache clearing. Plus a Playwright wrapper to check for errors and take screenshots.
- A single click runs a script that rsync's the dev workspace to the prod container, runs migrations, and clears caches."},"title":{"fullyHighlighted":false,"matchLevel":"full","matchedWords":["lovable"],"value":"Show HN: Same prompt tested across Replit, Bolt, v0, Lovable and Raq.com"},"url":{"matchLevel":"none","matchedWords":[],"value":"https://raq.com/real-world-test"}},"_tags":["story","author_hawke","story_44723183","show_hn"],"author":"hawke","created_at":"2025-07-29T13:34:30Z","created_at_i":1753796070,"num_comments":0,"objectID":"44723183","points":6,"story_id":44723183,"story_text":"Hi HN,

That's why I built Vibesuite!
Features:
Instant desktop + sound notifications (no more manual checking!)\nDynamic tab titles \u2013 "Generating..." in tab bar\nMetrics \u2014 see how long code generating took\nAuto-switch \u2013 immediately brings you back to the right tab when code is ready
Today it supports v0.dev and lovable.dev, and support for bolt.new is coming very soon.
