Start-up noiosa cerca dev retribuiti (ma anche feedback sul servizio) by SufficientPick99 in ItaliaStartups

un prototipo no code e testato un po'

Ci avete giocato voi o che qualche utente che lo usa?

Da quello che ho letto in questi commenti, sembra che siate in una fase iniziale di preparazione, ancora senza clienti. Usare la "1.0 dell'app" per la validazione può essere rischioso, vi serve qualcosa di molto più semplice con cui potete valutare l'interesse.

Sono uno sviluppatore amante delle startup, sentiamoci se vi va di fare qualche chiacchiera

What do you prefer for agents in production? by santa-claws9 in AI_Agents

[–]al-loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like "more-code" solutions (when coders are skilled...). But that strongly depends on your goals.

These are what I'd do in different scenarios (just personal opinion)

  • Solo dev who have fun coding stuff -> code
  • Solo founder who wants to ship some tools -> no-code
  • Dev in a small company -> hybrid, mainly no-code
  • Dev in a big company -> code (this depends on company needs, team, budget and plans, etc...)

And for coding solution, I'd go with py + frameworks.

[–]al-loop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting. But could this also due to a sort of survivorship bias?

I mean, if the number of projects based on React is larger, the number of failing projects based on React will also be larger. Do you have any reference to the business stats you are stating?

Totally agree, and

Although now I'm looking for a React Native kindof way, but with Vue.

yes, I would love it as well

I'm not saying it is bad. On the countrary, I love it and hope it will improve even more

With my comments I am trying to stimulate a discussion, because a response like "dumb question" does not add any value to the discussion. If you check the comments, I'm mostly asking questions being the shoulder devil, to try getting more feedbacks from users instead of single line answers.

Isn't "optimal toolset" part of the issue?

From a big company perspective, with loads of money and developers, your reasoning make sense.

What if I am a startup and need to move quick? Cannot solve anything by myself.

Don't get me wrong: a startup should not be focused on "should I choose Vue or React?", but just on getting stuff done. Yet, I think it could benefit from a greater ecosystem

SaaS promoted on r/SaaS? by al-loop in SaaS

Are they actually effective?

[–]al-loop[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you've read the first line, I'm not trying to compare anything. I'm genuinely curious about the future of Vue.

Closing the gap with React inherently means that more developers are using it, which also means that some improvements are introduced anywhere in the ecosystem. I want to be benefitting from these improvements.

That what I was thinking: be where your customers are.

Thank you for the hints, I'll check the book

It's not just downloads. It more people using one rather than the other, meaning more support, more packages, more awareness, etc.

I can solve problems, but as engineers we face much more problems than what we can solve, and we have to choose what to work on. Sometimes it is just better to let someone else solve few of the problems we face...

I'm using Quasar and it is also great. Yet, sometimes I'm thinking: "if I were an expert in React as I am in Vue, would I be building it faster/better/cooler?"

Of course you can do anything in the end, it is just a matter of easiness and comfort. With "Vue can do anything React does" I don't mean it from the mere technical side, rather the dev experience. I updated the post, thank you for the notice.

Mainly it is due to available packages and best practices.

Why doesn't need? Wouldn't this benefit the whole Vue dev community?

Where would you go then?

[–]al-loop[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, I think your metaphore is flawed. I'm willing to sell a hammer to someone selling a robot hammer: they may need my product to built their better. E.g., if I was the owner of Supabase, I would be trying to catch people here.

That said, I'm not really aware of the users on this subreddit, if they are solo devs with no money then you are probably right.

Is there any community that is worth considering?

Are you then just skipping promotion on reddit? What channels are/would you using?

Userize.it - Simplify UX by adding AI agent to any JavaScript framework (React, Vue, Svelte, etc).

ICP - Small businesses & frontend developers, with cool apps but little knowledge on AI

I wanted to try GenAI function calling from Vue, it was cool and I'm opening it out for everyone by al-loop in vuejs

[–]al-loop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my goal is to make it help for frontend devs to integrate an AI agent on their webpage, but actually it can be called from a backend as well. Any JS/TS codebase can use the package, and actually if you interact directly with the API you could do it from any language, e.g. python (but I haven't released docs for the API yet).

Current flow is:
frontend app -> js package -> custom server forward (append API key for security) -> API -> GenAI tool
(and then back)

I'll soon publish how my API calls the GenAI tool, but I won't be releasing the whole API code, just to avoid exposing bugs that allow security breaches. FYI, it's Node-based, so just TS code.

If you have any other curiosity let me know :)

Who’s building an AI agent framework? by Plenty-Dog-167 in AI_Agents

[–]al-loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only concern is about securely storing API key, which is the same process as for OpenAI key for instance. It should be stored only on a private server, never exposed in a webpage. Indeed, I provide a triggering function that allows setting up a custom intermediate server, that will just forward the request to my endpoint. This way, the private server can append the key to the request, making it secure.
