Ignore all the hate in the comments here, anyone denying the direction of software development and it aggressively becoming agentic have their own reckonings to deal with…

I love this concept. While I’m a Rails guy myself, I appreciate the value of Django too, and an agent-optimized version of it makes sense.

I feel like the next logical steps are this exact concept but in Go / Rust to get even more performance out of everything and to also get the single deployable binary too


I've actually been vibe coding a port of Django to Rust as a fun learning experience. I didn't expect it to be possible, but I've already got the core ORM working (including makemigrations, migrate, and inspectdb) with basic admin support running.

Single file deployment, and the process seems to only use 3-4 MB of memory.

I've been able to use inspectdb on existing Django databases, and then browse and change that data using the rust admin.

I am probably not the right person to build a production ready version of this - since I am not a Rust developer - but gee I am impressed by how good it is becoming.


You're absolutely right!

Looks interesting for small internal tools and apps, especially with go’s simple deployment model. Do you already have a Claude code plugin or skills files for it? That would likely help adoption

Actually I designed it with complex user flows and business logic in mind, but it's a good fit for small apps also.

I am new to this LLM stuff to be honest. But seems like it's a default way to write code currently in many domains. I would be grateful if you could share framework related plugins/skills that you found great.


I’ve used something similar a bit and it worked very well: https://github.com/pproenca/agent-tui

Very cool. I’ve used a paid service for years now that gets me all sorts of sports and channels very reliably, I would assume they’re doing something similar to make this work. Might try this though with my home server setup.

Think it could be ran from within a docker container so I could add it to an existing docker compose media server setup?


any chance you'd be willing to share what the service is? I use streameast all the time but it's not reliable enough

You will want to search for IPTV services. It's a bit of a wild west out there but I'd recommend finding one that has a Discord. Most will offer a free trial for 24 hours or a week for you to try them out.

It's one of those sites where they don't really like to be advertised, but if you really like *seasons* that are just *4* *u*, try adding a .com

Not OP, but I have used iptvore[dot]net previously

google 'free media heck yeah' and follow the rabbit hole.

This is the only evergreen bookmark that will always have the most up-to-date sources.

You can also find some interesting tools and scripts if you search some of the streaming domain names with GitHub code search.


seconded

Very clean site, well done. I’ve built something similar, but it also has an algorithmic front page option as well based on the “standard” algorithm from Reddit/HN: https://engineered.at

I also have it wired up to gpt nano for topic extraction and summary creation per post, if you register for an account (free) you can also follow sources and topics to fine tune things.

I have a big list of features to continue adding to it, like an ability to “claim” your site so you can get some analytics from the site, and potentially to boost your site in the algorithm. Might also add a jobs board.

If you’re interested, while this site is closed source, the feed monitoring rails engine is open source: https://github.com/dchuk/source_monitor


Not sure if you want feedback on this, but mine is free.

The lists are impenetrable for my eye, I think an key mistake is that you don't use an accent color for titles in lists (i.e. look at a google serp).

That you don't directly link the content, felt like an offense, followed by a slap in the face looking at an AI generated summary.

The layout feels too reddit and too industrialized and the way you plan to progress the project, rings my "pet project to slam ad's on" bells.

I think the pure intent of OPs site naturally makes it more approachable and likeable.


I’ll ignore the tone here and solely reply to the feedback (go take a nice walk or something, no need to be so fired up, it’s just the internet): - noted on the readability call out. Was trying to keep things minimal, similar to HN itself, I’ll see what I can do to make the contrast better - I added the summaries because it’s something I want on sites like this. Every individual article page contains a direct link to the original site. I’m intentionally not rendering the full article content like a feed reader so that a gist/teaser is available for users to hopefully send them to the original article. - you are free to not use the site if you think my intent is nefarious, again it’s just the internet after all

It’s basically another party that is used as infrastructure by the company you’re using the services of, who has access to your data, but that sub processor doesn’t need to extend its terms down into the eula. So like if you host databases on aws, they are your sub processor.


I’ve been iterating on nights and weekends on a hackers news like website that sources all content from engineering blogs (both personal and company blogs). I have about 600 of the total 3k rss feeds I’ve collected over time loaded up, just tweaking things as I go before dropping the whole list in there: https://engineered.at

While the main app is closed sourced, the rails engine that handles all the rss feeds is open sourced here: https://github.com/dchuk/source_monitor

I have another version of source monitor getting by published soon with some nice enhancements


If you’re able to articulate the issues this clearly, it would take like an hour to “vibe code” away all of these issues. That’s the actual superpower we all have now. If you know what good software looks like, you can rough something out so fast, then iterate and clean it up equally fast, and produce something great an order of magnitude faster than just a few months ago.

A few times a week I’m finding open source projects that either have a bunch of old issues and pull requests, or unfinished todos/roadmaps, and just blasting through all of that and leaving a PR for the maintainer while I use the fork. All tested, all clean best practice style code.

Don’t complain about the outputs of these tools, use the tools to produce good outputs.


How do we learn what a good output actually is?


Care to actually show us any of these PRs?


curious if the 1m context window will be default available in claude code. if so, that's a pretty big deal: "Sonnet 4.6’s 1M token context window is enough to hold entire codebases, lengthy contracts, or dozens of research papers in a single request. More importantly, Sonnet 4.6 reasons effectively across all that context."


Above 200k token context they charge a premium. I think its $10/M tokens of input.


Interesting. Is it because they can or is it really more expensive for them to process bigger context?


Attention is, at its core, quadratic wrt context length. So I'd believe that to be the case, yeah.


I've read that compute costs for LLMs go up O(n^2) with context window size. But I think it is also a combination of limited compute availability, users preference for Anthropic models and Anthropic planning to go IPO.


Looks like a good architecture. I feel like this needs a complimentary mobile app instead of relying on a chat system like telegram, so you can both plain text interact but also do more advanced stuff like see the backlog of tasks, see the log of completed work, have more robust interactions that include stateful iteration on long form stuff, etc

Very cool build though, will try it out
