I'm building https://supadesk.ai - An AI agent platform to help businesses manage their front-desk.

I launched beta last month with a couple of customers in pilot phase. It has been great learning experiencing building my first AI agent tool and running it in production.

Nice, which frameworks are you using? What did you learn from customers?

I'd consider a different name to avoid issues with supabase should you take off.

Thanks,

My tech stack consists of: - Ruby on Rails - Vue.js + Inertia.js - PostgreSQL - TailwindCSS with Shadcn Vue UI

the app runs on Hetzner VM deployed via Kamal.

I'm planning to do a detailed blog post on the tech stack soon.

I found initial customers by manual outreach within my network.

I don't see any potential issue with Supabase. Both names are drastically different and we serve different markets. Besides, there are plenty of other products name with "supa" prefix.

Thanks, would really like to read the blog post.

Are you using any of the major agentic frameworks (Mastra, LangSmith etc)? Or is the AI harness etc entirely custom-built?

I'm using RubyLLM which is an incredible framework for building agents.

Hadn't heard of it! Site here: https://rubyllm.com/

This looks really nice. Snippet from site:

chat = Chat.create! model: "claude-sonnet-4"

chat.ask "What's in this file?", with: "report.pdf"

beautiful interface right? It is honestly so great working with such well thought out gem.

everything is down except HN :D

The just-one-big-server-in-someones-basement stack remains undefeated.

Except it isn't that big?

I don’t know; HN historically has had way worse uptime than Cloudflare.

It's a little surprising how little it affect me. I believe it's around 20% of websites that use CloudFlare in some form or another.

I recently moved a couple of Rails projects to a VPS using Dokploy and couldn't be happier. Apart from the cost savings the bump in available resources is a big plus. It is astonishing how Heroku still gets away with 512 mb memory for $25/m

Working on https://fileboost.dev –– A Ruby on Rails Active Storage plugin that is a plug and play gem for image transformation without making any code changes.

Being a Ruby on Rails consultant, I frequently see active storage transformation becoming a bottleneck for web servers by eating up resources and making them sweat.

I built Fileboost to solve this problem for my customers. I'd love any feedback.

I'm glad to see efforts towards improving Ruby on Rails security, it honestly keeps the framework still the most viable choice.

Yaak is great, I have been using it since the launch Greg.

I'm kind of curious why you picked Tauri over Electron for this one? I know one big benefit is smaller binaries but I'd love to know your thoughts behind this decision.

I have been doing Ruby on Rails for ~14 years but ~10 years ago I was confused and I picked up Nodejs thinking it is the future of software development.

It only took me a couple of months to realized what Ruby on Rails offers & the vibrant ecosystem it has. I quickly pivoted back to it and never looked back. I'm very happy with that decision.

Take that plunge and you will not regret it later.

Thanks for mentioning this gem (literally).

I moved my projects to GoodJob and it has been smooth sailing.
