i was building sth like this

https://github.com/blue-monads/potato-apps/tree/master/cimpl...

i should finish but have not have time


https://github.com/blue-monads/potatoverse

Platform for running web apps.

Single static binary and SQLite

lua for now (WASM future)

DEMO:

:( ok

i think this matters more for lower batch sizes (local llm and private enterprise deployment where there wont be big user at specific time for big batch size) going from mem Io bottleneck to compute.

I kind of resonate with a lot of things in the article. My own personal view is that we should make hosting stuff vastly simpler; that's one of the goals of my project, at least my attempt (self promo)

Potatoverse is a great name :)) BTW do you remember Sandstorm.io?


Thanks cap'n-py. Yeah, I love Sandstorm. My goal is to be more portable, lighter, and a 'download binary and run' kind of tool. There are also other attempts around what I call the 'packaging with Docker' approach (Coolify, etc.), which are more attempts at packaging existing apps. But my approach—the platform—gives a bunch of stuff you can use to make apps faster, but you have to bend to its idiosyncrasies. In turn, you do not need a beefy home lab to run it (not everyone is a tinkerer). It's more focused, so it will be easier for the end user running it than for the developer.


Don’t know about windows programming to give opinion but by the sentiment here maybe they should give dev to choose bashed on some comptime flag or sth and maintain two versions


I am also building similar product but with different approach And just using SQLite for now but plan on adding Postgres support ( orm I am using supports it ) … but nowhere near production ready. Due to buzz around products like litestream I feel like just SQLite is also viable nowadays. I also have own cdc based replication thing wip but yeah just having fun stage

It also supports:

- webdav

- file

- SFTP basically ssh ( i have used tailscale and linux laptop ssh)


please watch after the fake ending!!


yeah, i was too bored this weekend and wanted some feedback on thing i was working on but it did not get that much traction.

Anyway i don't think this kind of idea has been tried that much. there are projects that try to wrap existing project in docker/helm thing but this is platform solely built for running apps, means platform give ton of stuff (auth,file management, websocket etc etc) and core app logic is really small (look at server.lua file).

this is thinking from of normal people (not tech enthusiast running homelab or what not) being able to run server apps with same ease as they install apps from playstore in their phone. (atleast that's the idea)


You can email us at hn@ycombinator.com for advice on your Show HN. We can comment on whether we think it will be interesting to the audience and give feedback on your intro post. It's better to do that than post multiple projects to HN within a short timespan, as your chance of success will be influenced more by effort and substance than luck.


It reminds me of https://sandstorm.org/
