Show HN: Same prompt tested across Replit, Bolt, v0, Lovable and Raq.com Hi HN,

I built Raq.com – a platform that uses Claude Code to build working internal tools directly in the browser.

Claude Code is great at self correcting when given the right tools.

I've found that the popular web-based AI coding tools look great in demos but fail on real API integrations or require a lot of error back and forth. They don't appear to do much research or self-correcting, likely to reduce spend. I wanted to see the current state of these tools, so I ran the same prompt on five platforms (Replit, Bolt, v0, Lovable, and Raq.com) to build a tool that requires 3 different APIs (Companies House, FinUK and OpenRouter) working together.

Four platforms produced broken prototypes or needed manual fixes. Raq.com delivered a complete working solution from a single prompt (that can be deployed to live with one click).

Full test with videos: https://raq.com/real-world-test

We're in early access (requires Claude Pro/Max for free usage) - we're looking non-coders who would like to build internal tools for their team.

Some technical info:

- Raq.com provisions isolated dev and prod Docker environments for each company (companyname.raq.com and companyname-dev.raq.com).

- The dev site includes a persistent terminal streamed to the browser, so the session continues even while tab is closed.

- CLAUDE.md file provides best practices, known pitfalls, and coding patterns for the Laravel + Filament stack.

- Self-Correction Loop: Claude can test and debug its own work. It has direct shell access to a custom script that bundles PHPUnit, syntax checks, and cache clearing. Plus a Playwright wrapper to check for errors and take screenshots.

- A single click runs a script that rsync's the dev workspace to the prod container, runs migrations, and clears caches.

Show HN: SmokeVPN – All-in-One WireGuard VPN Hub – Switch Exits in Realtime

Show HN: SmokeVPN – All-in-One WireGuard VPN Hub – Switch Exits in Realtime I have started developing a prototype of a WireGuard VPN hub, where I could set a custom exit to a specific device, for example, my TV box would use a VPN in Germany, while my desktop a VPN is Serbia and I could switch the exit in realtime without having to stop the VPN connections and consequently no disconnections (ssh, etc).<p>The project grew, and I ended up adding SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy, Tor exits, exit pools, random exits, timed exits, and exits&#x2F;routes based on domains or IP addresses. I also added an in-house DNS with several default block lists (malware, gambling, social media, etc.)<p>I found this project to have potential and decided to commercialize it, Smoke VPN was born.<p>The logs live entirely on the RAM, and I plan to open-source the full stack as soon as I get feedback from real users, people like you...<p>Can you please try the project for free for 7 days or 50 GB (whichever comes first)?<p>You don&#x27;t need an account, email or password and you can add up to 10 devices.<p>Real feedback is truly welcome!
