knutmartinon Show HN: Snill – Describe your business, get a complete internal system

Re: output format

The output (used by the user interface) is a JSON schema (DSL) which defines the whole app (collections, fields, relations, pages, access/roles menu etc). It can be changed throughout the lifetime of the application. The built-in revision control makes it easy to revert changes.

In the article (link below) the author vibe-coded a full-stack React “todo” app with an Claude Code and had it live on the internet in under 90 seconds — including frontend, backend, database, REST API, Swagger docs, and deployment — without writing a single line of code by hand.

The key takeaway isn’t just the speed. What made the rapid turnaround possible was the stack itself: a low-ceremony platform (Codehooks.io) that keeps frontend and backend together, avoids CORS and infra config, and uses schema-driven APIs so the AI doesn’t get stuck on peripheral problems.

Instead of AI nirvana, the article argues we should be thinking about what stacks maximize AI productivity — the ones that remove friction points and keep the feedback loop tight between idea and deployment.

knutmartinon Show HN: LLM prompt template to build backend APIs faster

One of the frustrating aspects of using prompts to generate code is that the output can vary quite a bit even with the same prompt. Creating an API which use the OpenAI APIs for mission critical solutions feels a bit scary and unpredictable. For structured output, I know people use libraries like Pydantic with Python. I don't now the best approach to deal with this with regards to code generation, though. For now, I guess having an experienced software engineer examine the code is essential.
