Show HN: Nerve: Stitches all your data sources into one mega-API Hi HN! Nerve is a solo project I've been working on for the last few years. It's a developer tool that stitches together data from multiple sources in real-time.

A lot of high-leverage projects (AI or otherwise) involve tying data together from multiple systems of record. This is easy enough when the data is simple and the sources are few, but if you have highly nested data and lots of sources (or you need things like federated pagination and filtering), you have to write a lot of gnarly boilerplate that's brittle and easy to get wrong.

One solution is to import all your data into a central warehouse and just pull it from there. This works, but 1) you need a warehouse, 2) you have an extra copy of the data that can get stale or inconsistent, 3) you need to write and manage pipelines/connectors (or outsource them to a vendor), and 4) you're adding an extra point of failure.

Nerve lets you write GraphQL-style queries that span multiple sources; then it goes out and pulls from whatever source APIs it needs to at query-time - all your source data stays where it is. Nerve has pre-built bindings to external SAAS services, and it's straightforward to hook it into your internal sources as well.

Nerve is made for individual developers or two-pizza teams who:

-Are building agents/internal tools

-Need to deal with messy data strewn across different systems

-Don't have a data team/warehouse at their disposal, (or do, but can't get a slice of their bandwidth)

-Want to get to production as quickly as possible

Everything you see in the demo is shipped and usable, but I'm adding a little polish before I officially launch. In the meantime, if you have a project you'd like to use Nerve on and you want to be a beta user, just drop me a line at mprast@get-nerve.com (it's free! I'll just pop in from time to time to ask you how it's going and what I can improve :) )

If you want to get an email when Nerve is ready from prime-time, you can sign up for the waitlist at get-nerve.com.

Thanks for reading!

(EDIT: Nerve is desktop only! I'll put up a gate on the site saying as much.)

Show HN: Accept-md – One command to make Next.js sites LLM-scraping friendly

Show HN: Accept-md – One command to make Next.js sites LLM-scraping friendly I recently saw a post from the Vercel CEO pointing out that LLMs understand websites much better when they can request:<p>`Accept: text&#x2F;markdown`<p>Most websites today are built for humans. When AI agents try to consume them, they get complex HTML instead of clean, structured content.<p>So I built *accept-md* – a simple open-source package for Next.js that helps solve this.<p>Getting started is intentionally minimal:<p>``` npx accept-md init ```<p>After that, your existing Next.js routes can automatically respond with Markdown whenever an AI agent (or any client) requests it. No redesigns, no CMS changes, and no duplicate pages to maintain.<p>Right now the project is:<p>* Focused only on Next.js * Middleware-based and lightweight * Designed to work with existing apps * A small step toward more AI-friendly websites<p>This is an early experiment, but I think the idea itself matters as AI agents become first-class consumers of the web.<p>I’ve open-sourced it and would love help with:<p>* Better markdown extraction * Edge cases across Next.js setups * Performance and caching * Tests and examples * Documentation * Eventually adapters for other frameworks<p>Would love feedback from the HN community on the approach – and whether `Accept: text&#x2F;markdown` feels like a pattern worth standardizing for the AI-native web.

Show HN: Buquet – Durable queues and workflows using only S3

Show HN: Buquet – Durable queues and workflows using only S3 buquet (bucket queue) is a queue and workflow orchestration tool using only S3-compatible* object storage. S3 is the control plane making it much simpler than alternatives. This does come with tradeoffs (see docs), but I do believe there is a niche it can serve well.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;horv.co&#x2F;buquet.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;horv.co&#x2F;buquet.html</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;h0rv&#x2F;buquet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;h0rv&#x2F;buquet</a><p>* see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;h0rv&#x2F;buquet&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;docs&#x2F;guides&#x2F;s3-compatibility.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;h0rv&#x2F;buquet&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;docs&#x2F;guides&#x2F;s3-comp...</a>
