gr00ve··on Show HN: I made a cheaper alternative to Claude Code or Codex CLI
Code is “HN5OFF”

I picked Deepseek 3.2 because I was impressed with how they developed r1 and have continued to be satisfied with their capability improvements as well as algorithmic. I think they cut their cost in half recently because of the efficiency gains which was a big factor

If anyone would be interested in a $5 free credit coupon code, please comment and I will post one!

Hello HN. I built a free, fully managed software engineering platform that handles auth and payments through Stripe Connect. The platform is entirely free to use and takes a 10% fee from any revenue generated. There’s a live preview for each project where you can enter product requirements and feature requests in plain English and let the LLM powered backend handle the implementation for you. Subscriptions are optional and can be set in the project dashboard, and deploying will generate a public URL to share. Below are a few example of live apps I generated! This is still in beta but I think the progress so far is very promising. Would love some feedback :)

Hey HN!

With the release of OpenAI o1, I am back with a fully working and interactive update to my AI Software Engineer app i've been working on most of this year.

My long term goal of allowing users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language has been reached!

The cost of each project is now $20/mo per project to make unlimited changes and live deployments with a URL you can share anywhere on the web. Infrastructure is managed completely by the platform so you can focus on the product.

Subscriptions settings are built in and use Stripe Connect to manage payouts.

I'd love to get some feedback on the new version and am excited to see if people enjoy creating apps this way!

I built a tool that lets you create SaaS applications through natural conversation. You describe what you want, and the app builds it in real-time with a live preview.

Key features: - Conversational interface - describe features in plain English - Live preview updates as you make changes - Built-in subscription management for your SaaS app - One-click deployment with public URLs - Interactive dashboard to monitor usage and metrics - Support for user authentication and billing out of the box

Pricing model: - Unlimited updates and deployments for each project - 0% platform fees on your SaaS revenue - Keep 100% of what your customers pay you - Simple monthly subscription for creators

Example: "I want a task management app with Kanban boards and time tracking" - the system will build it while you watch, and you can refine it through further conversation. You can make unlimited changes and improvements as you learn from your users.

Each app gets two envs: 1. Development preview: For testing changes in real-time 2. Production deployment: Public URL for your users once you're ready to launch

The goal is to remove the technical barriers to launching a SaaS business. You focus on your product idea and user experience, while the platform handles the implementation details. Unlike other no-code platforms, there are no revenue sharing agreements or hidden fees - you keep 100% of your SaaS revenue using Stripe Connect.

Looking for feedback from the HN community, especially on use cases you'd like to see supported.

Technically the frontend was created by the AI. Just wanted to keep things simple since the only other real trend in AI landing pages is a rainbow gradient and I didn't exactly want to hop on board with that. Ideally I could host a few example web apps at a live URL and the landing page can definitely look better. Its in the backlog!

You're pretty spot on about where I'm coming from! I will focus on the landing page before I try to make any more backend improvements. I was trying to keep it simple considering how gimmick-y some of the frontend styling for landing pages has become but there's definitely still room for improvement. Thanks for the feedback!

Updated the landing page with a url to an example full stack ecommerce app :)

Hey HN!

Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's showing promising results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language.

The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash).

Thanks for checking it out!

Do you have questions about these statements?

"Key Features Cutting-edge repository generation powered by Claude 3 Flat rate fee for each project generation Generates highly functional code that serves as a robust starting point Minimal debugging required to deploy the generated code"

"Our advanced AI technology creates highly functional repositories that serve as a solid foundation for your projects".

I agree if there was a demo video it would clear up a lot of confusion. Or maybe screenshots/feature details on the landing page would help. The project page has an input box to describe your project, it writes all the files for the project, and then shows a download button for the zip. All projects are containerized with Docker and have configs that you'd want in a production deployment environment.

Understandable! I will work on some demo videos this weekend :)

Got it! I have been trying to think of creative ways to show a demo video when it takes 30 min to an hour. I might try to a few timelapse/speedrun type clips for commonly cloned projects (like a Notion Clone). Thanks for the feedback

Hey HN!

Andrej Karpathy, founding member of OpenAI and former Director of AI at Tesla, recently shared his thoughts on the future of programming:

The hottest new programming language is English

— Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy) January 24, 2023 https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1617979122625712128?lang...

I've been using LLMs to help with my software engineering work since ChatGPT originally came out.

When Anthropic released their Claude 3 series models, I was shocked at the code quality they produce and was able to get new projects running with minimal debugging.

I've been listening a lot of the big interviews from Dwarkesh with people like Demis Hassabis and some of the technical discussion around task execution gave me the inspiration to attempt creating a full AI Software Engineering system requiring only a text prompt.

It's not accurate enough to programmatically deploy, but seeing what the system can produce in 30mins-1hr has continually blown me away.

Unlike Devin, which is still in a 'waitlist period', saas-quick is available to use right now.

I'm a solo developer and the frontend isn't polished or anything, but you can follow along the process as each task is executed and download the project zip at the end.

I appreciate your time and am grateful for any feedback!
