Show HN: Cptn.io – open-source integration platform Hi, I am Krishna Thota. I am building an open source integration and data platform( https://cptn.io ). The product is MIT licensed and the repo is at https://ift.tt/I6fyOQD . I have started on my startup journey an year ago and launched a monitoring platform called DevRaven. Unfortunately the product did not takeoff as expected. That story is for another day. But during the course of building the product, I have built several integrations leveraging MQs and Cloud Functions. While building and deploying Cloud Functions for happy paths is easy, I had to monitor logs for failures, build retry mechanisms or manually process failed events, keep instances running to prevent cold start timeouts. It can also get expensive with charges for MQs, server time for running cloud functions etc and costs can be unpredictable. I thought of building a platform where I can build integrations quickly, have the ability to look at incoming/outgoing events, look at logs, retry any failed events etc. And finally, predictable costs for running the infrastructure. cptn.io provides all these capabilities and more. You can build pipelines to integrate with any cloud services, send data from your backend to data warehouses, listen to web hook events etc. The platform can be integrated into any stack by sending events to HTTP end points. Instead of trying to build a business first or launch an open source product under restrictive licenses, the platform will be available under MIT license so any user or customer can use it. There is no ee folder or complex dual licensing and I am also committing to releasing SSO under MIT. The plan is to offer a managed service in the cloud at a later time, accept sponsors for prioritizing features for enterprise customers and charge for enterprise support. It should take less than 5 minutes to get the platform running on your machine. Welcome any feedback, feature requests, PRs and bug reports. https://cptn.io May 8, 2023 at 11:45PM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
