susros··on Show HN: Appaca – AI Workspace for Operators
hey, thanks a lot for your inputs. It's really helpful. Looking into WordWare story, it's very interesting.

that makes sense. Tradie space is what I have been looking into as well. I have been seeing a lot of ads from different new tradie apps these days. Everyone is trying to build an app for tradies for different purpose. I reckon it's probably a bit harder for them to adopt AI / tech. I need to have more conversations with them to better understand their workflow.

hey, thanks a lot. I think you're right. I am currently working on integration with AI people are already using. I'm looking into claude cowork.

thanks!

it doesn't have a predefined templates. But, it was given a very strict development workflow based on React and shadcn for reliability. Then, I have an agent that will always do a technical research first, for example, it uses Firecrawl to get relevant implementation, then it will try to build the tool you need. It usually gives really accurate and functional tools according to your need. Most of the time, you won't need another iteration unless you want to add a few things, because you are not building a full blown SaaS for customer-facing products.

Yes, it support custom API integrations. The app uses e2b sandbox to run all functions (backend stuff). So, you can integrate with your own APIs / webhooks.

I am also working on connectors to help businesses connect with more of what they already use in their workflow. :)

How are you currently managing your back office / ops at the moment? Keen to hear your use case.

thanks! Nope, you don't need any config. All apps run on the platform. If the internal tools you are building require third party access, then you will need to connect them with connector, or configure the API keys when necessary.

Thanks!. It runs on my server, and it lives in the platform. So, the experience I want to give users is that every tool they want AI to build should feel like it's part of the platform. So, they don't need hosting or domain. All technical infra like database is built-in.
susros··on ECommerce that sits on your existing web pages
Hi everyone,

I am building MicroCommerce that you can easily create multiple micro online stores and embed them on your existing website. This allows your visitors to purchase items directly from your website.

If you have a website and have some stuff to sell online, please give it a try. Keen to hear feedback as well. :)

Thanks.
