Show HN: We built a generator for Vue+Laravel that gives you a clean codebase Hey HN, My team and I built a tool to scratch our own itch. We were tired of spending the first few days of every new project setting up the same Vue + Laravel boilerplate: writing migrations, models, basic CRUD controllers, and wiring up forms and tables on the frontend.

So we built Codecannon. It’s a web app where you define your data models, columns, and relationships, and it generates a full-stack application for you.

To be clear, the code isn't AI-generated. It's produced deterministically by our own code generators, so the output is always predictable, clean, and follows conventional best practices.

The key difference from other tools is that it’s not a no-code platform you get locked into. When you're done, it pushes a well-structured codebase to your GitHub repo (or you can download a .zip file). You own it completely and can start building your real features on top of it right away.

What it generates: - Laravel Backend: Migrations, models with relationships, factories, seeders, and basic CRUD API endpoints.

    - Vue Frontend: A SPA with PrimeVue components. It includes auth pages, data tables, and create/edit forms for each of your models, with all the state management wired up.

    - Dev Stuff: Docker configs, a CI/CD pipeline starter, linters, and formatters are all included.
The idea is to skip the repetitive work and get straight to the interesting parts of a project. It's free to use the builder, see a live preview, and download the full codebase for apps up to 5 modules. For larger apps, you only pay if you decide you want the source code.

We’re in an early alpha and would love to get some honest feedback from the community. Does the generated code look sensible? Are we missing any obvious features? Is this something you would find useful or know anyone who might? Let me know what you think.

Show HN: On the edge of Apple Silicon memory speeds

Show HN: On the edge of Apple Silicon memory speeds I have developed open source CLI-tool for Apple Silicon macOS. It measures memory speeds in different ways and also latency. It can achieve up to 96-97% efficiency on read speed on M4 base what is advertised as 120GB&#x2F;s. All memory operations are in assembly.<p>I would really appreciate for results on different CPU&#x27;s how benchmark works on those. I have been able to test this on M1 and M4.<p>command : &#x27;memory_benchmark -non-cacheable -count 5 -output results.JSON&#x27; (close all applications before running)<p>This will generate JSON file where you find sections copy_gb_s, read_gb_s and write_gb_s statics.<p>Example M4 with 10 loops: &quot;copy_gb_s&quot;: { &quot;statistics&quot;: { &quot;average&quot;: 106.65421233311835, &quot;max&quot;: 106.70240696071005, &quot;median&quot;: 106.65069297260811, &quot;min&quot;: 106.6336774994254, &quot;p90&quot;: 106.66606919223108, &quot;p95&quot;: 106.68423807647056, &quot;p99&quot;: 106.69877318386216, &quot;stddev&quot;: 0.01930653530818627 }, &quot;values&quot;: [ 106.70240696071005, 106.66203166240008, 106.64410802226159, 106.65831409449595, 106.64148106986977, 106.6482935780762, 106.63974821679058, 106.65896986001393, 106.6336774994254, 106.65309236714002 ] }, &quot;read_gb_s&quot;: { &quot;statistics&quot;: { &quot;average&quot;: 115.83111228356601, &quot;max&quot;: 116.11098114619033, &quot;median&quot;: 115.84480882265643, &quot;min&quot;: 115.56959026587722, &quot;p90&quot;: 115.99667266786554, &quot;p95&quot;: 116.05382690702793, &quot;p99&quot;: 116.09955029835784, &quot;stddev&quot;: 0.1768243167963439 }, &quot;values&quot;: [ 115.79154681380165, 115.56959026587722, 115.60574235736468, 115.72112860271632, 115.72147129262802, 115.89807083151123, 115.95527337086908, 115.95334642887214, 115.98397172582945, 116.11098114619033 ] }, &quot;write_gb_s&quot;: { &quot;statistics&quot;: { &quot;average&quot;: 65.55966046805113, &quot;max&quot;: 65.59040040480241, &quot;median&quot;: 65.55933583741347, &quot;min&quot;: 65.50911885624045, &quot;p90&quot;: 65.5840272860955, &quot;p95&quot;: 65.58721384544896, &quot;p99&quot;: 65.58976309293172, &quot;stddev&quot;: 0.02388146120866979 },<p>Patterns benchmark also shows bit more of memory speeds. command: &#x27;memory_benchmark -patterns -non-cacheable -count 5 -output patterns.JSON&#x27;<p>Example M4 from 100 loops: &quot;sequential_forward&quot;: { &quot;bandwidth&quot;: { &quot;read_gb_s&quot;: { &quot;statistics&quot;: { &quot;average&quot;: 116.38363691482549, &quot;max&quot;: 116.61212708384109, &quot;median&quot;: 116.41264548721367, &quot;min&quot;: 115.449510036971, &quot;p90&quot;: 116.54143114134801, &quot;p95&quot;: 116.57314206456576, &quot;p99&quot;: 116.60095068065866, &quot;stddev&quot;: 0.17026641589059727 } } } }<p>&quot;strided_4096&quot;: { &quot;bandwidth&quot;: { &quot;read_gb_s&quot;: { &quot;statistics&quot;: { &quot;average&quot;: 26.460392735220456, &quot;max&quot;: 27.7722419653915, &quot;median&quot;: 26.457051473208285, &quot;min&quot;: 25.519925729459107, &quot;p90&quot;: 27.105171215736604, &quot;p95&quot;: 27.190715938337473, &quot;p99&quot;: 27.360449534513144, &quot;stddev&quot;: 0.4730857335572576 } } } }<p>&quot;random&quot;: { &quot;bandwidth&quot;: { &quot;read_gb_s&quot;: { &quot;statistics&quot;: { &quot;average&quot;: 26.71367836895143, &quot;max&quot;: 26.966820487564327, &quot;median&quot;: 26.69907406197067, &quot;min&quot;: 26.49374804466308, &quot;p90&quot;: 26.845236287807374, &quot;p95&quot;: 26.882004355057887, &quot;p99&quot;: 26.95742242818151, &quot;stddev&quot;: 0.09600564296001704 } } } }<p>Thank you for reading :)

Show HN: AI video generator that outputs React instead of video files

Show HN: AI video generator that outputs React instead of video files Hey HN! This is Mayank from Outscal with a new update. Our website is now live. Quick context: we built a tool that generates animated videos from text scripts. The twist: instead of rendering pixels, it outputs React&#x2F;TSX components that render as the video.<p>Try it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ai.outscal.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ai.outscal.com&#x2F;</a> Sample video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;outscal.com&#x2F;v2&#x2F;video&#x2F;ai-constraints-m7p3_v1&#x2F;12-01-26-18-47-41" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;outscal.com&#x2F;v2&#x2F;video&#x2F;ai-constraints-m7p3_v1&#x2F;12-01-26...</a><p>You pick a style (pencil sketch or neon), enter a script (up to 2000 chars), and it runs: scene direction → ElevenLabs audio → SVG assets → Scene Design → React components → deployed video.<p>What we learned building this:<p>We built the first version on Claude Code. Even with a human triggering commands, agents kept going off-script — they had file tools and would wander off reading random files, exploring tangents, producing inconsistent output.<p>The fix was counterintuitive: fewer tools, not more guardrails. We stripped each agent to only what it needed and pre-fed context instead of letting agents fetch it themselves.<p>Quality improved immediately.<p>We wouldn&#x27;t launch the web version until this was solid. Moved to Claude Agent SDK, kept the same constraints, now fully automated.<p>Happy to discuss the agent architecture, why React-as-video, or anything else.

Show HN: SubTrack – A SaaS tracker for devs that finds unused tools

Show HN: SubTrack – A SaaS tracker for devs that finds unused tools Hi HN,<p>I built SubTrack to help teams find unused SaaS tools and cloud resources before they silently eat into budgets.<p>The motivation came from seeing how hard it is to answer simple questions: – Which SaaS tools are actually used? – Which cloud resources are idle? – What will our end-of-month spend look like?<p>SubTrack connects to tools like AWS, GitHub, Vercel, and others to surface unused resources and cost signals from one place. Recently I added multi-account support, currency localization, and optional AI-based insights to help interpret usage patterns.<p>This is an early-stage project and I’m actively iterating. I’d really appreciate feedback—especially from people managing cloud or SaaS sprawl.
