Show HN: Claude Artifacts but creating real web apps (Score: 150+ in 18 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6dDr8
Hey Hacker News!
Launching gptengineer.app into beta today.
It's like Claude Artifacts, but:
- you can edit the code in your fav IDE (two-way github sync)
- installs npm packages
- automatically picks up build and runtime errors and fixes them
- very fast, built with rust
The full stack capabilities are built on supabase (prefer to not have to handle auth + user data at this point so this is owned by the user)
The seed for this project was an open source experiment, posted about that previously here:

Would love feedback if you give it a try!

Show HN: Skip – Build native iOS and Android apps from a single Swift codebase (Score: 152+ in 6 hours)

Hello Hacker News. I'm Marc, one half of the team that created skip.tools. Skip is a tool that transpiles your SwiftUI iOS app into a Kotlin Jetpack Compose app, and enables you to use a single language to create a complete app that reaches the entire mobile marketplace.
What it is: Skip stands in contrast to other cross-platform development tools like Flutter, React Native, and Xamarin, in that it enables the creation of genuinely native applications for both of the dominant mobile platforms. It doesn't embed a separate engine or runtime into your app, but instead lets you use pure Swift and SwiftUI to create the iOS side of the app (as per Apple's recommended best practices for creating iOS apps), and transpiles it into a pure Kotlin and Jetpack Compose app for the Android side (which is Google's recommendation for building Android apps). So your application will use platform-native controls and will automatically have all the affordances provided by the platform vendor: animations, accessibility, and future-proof evolution alongside OS updates.
How it works: you build a Skip app using the same tools that you use to create a standard iOS app: Xcode, Swift, and SwiftUI. Skip augments this workflow with a Swift Package Manager plugin called "skipstone", which transpiles your Swift into Kotlin each time you build your app, and launches the Android app side-by-side with the iOS app each time you run the app. The transpilation works not just on your primary app module, but also transitively processes all your dependent SwiftPM modules, so you can break complex projects down into individually testable sub-modules containing business logic or UI code. In fact, this is how our own adaptor modules for the standard frameworks are structured: SkipFoundation adapts the Foundation framework and SkipUI adapts the SwiftUI framework, so the same familiar API can be used when building the app. And there's a GitHub ecosystem of open-source modules supporting popular frameworks, including SQLite, Firebase, Lottie, and many other common building blocks of modern apps.
Over the past year Skip has evolved into a fully-capable solution for creating best-in-class apps for both iOS and Android. And today we are delighted to announce the release of version 1.0, meaning that it is ready for production use.
We have a wealth of videos and documentation available at https://skip.tools, and I'll be around to field any questions that any of you might have. Thanks in advance for taking a look!
