Acquisition breakdowns, engineer reviews & open-source metrics- Post excerpt:
- Hey HN, we (Hang and Lyu) built InsForge ( https://insforge.dev ) to solve the biggest roadblock for people building with AI coding tools - adding backend functionality to their projects. The problem is simple: AI tools can help non-developers build impressive frontends, but everyone gets stuck when trying to handle backend needs. Most Backend-as-a-Service s
- Post excerpt:
- Hi HN, we just released InsForge: an open-source, agent-native alternative to Supabase/Firebase designed from the ground up for AI coding agents like Cline, Cursor, and Claude Code. We're building Supabase's features in an AI-native way, enabling agents to build and manage full-stack applications autonomously. (GitHub: https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge )
- Post excerpt:
- Hi HN, We are excited to present you InsForge AI. It is an open source project and we provide hosted versions with APIaccess as well. (Website: https://insforge.dev/ , Github: https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge ) We’re addressing a couple of key problems when using Supabase. 1. RLS enabled by default → queries fail without policies 2. Writing/maintaining P
- Post excerpt:
- Hi HN, We are excited to present you InsForge AI. We quit Databricks, Meta, and Amazon to build *an agent-friendly Supabase alternative*. Why? Because current tools like Supabase make it painful for agents and developers: 1. *RLS enabled by default* → queries fail without policies 2. *Verbose Postgres policies* that are error-prone to write and maintain 3. *
- Post excerpt:
- Hey HN, I’m Hang. Today I’m open-sourcing InsForge, a context aware backend for AI coding agents. When using agents like Cursor or Claude to build applications, they often assume what the backend looks like instead of inspecting it. Without access to the actual backend state, they fall back on outdated information, which leads to concrete issues. For example
- Post excerpt:
- We built InsForge because we wanted to use pure prompts to build a production-grade app faster. In practice, AI isn’t reliable enough when generating code or configuring backend pieces like schema, RLS, auth, or functions. Postgres MCP and Supabase MCP are a good starting point, but they felt more like API wrappers for agents than something designed to guide

# Design Brief: Precision Swiss Grid (with Dark Developer)
Exposed 1px hairline grid rules with intersection crosshairs, modular bento cards, and strict geometric alignment with modern engineering craft.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #000000;
--surface: #111111;
--foreground: #f5f5f5;
--muted-foreground: #a3a3a3;
--accent: #6ee7b7;
--radius: 4px;
--font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #000000 (~78%) · Surface #111111 (~7%) · Text #F5F5F5 (~8%) · Muted Text #A3A3A3 (~5%) · Accent #6EE7B7 (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
## Layout & Conversion Structure
- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Customer / Press Logo Strip
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Customer Logo Wall, Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and customer / press logo strip.
- Visual summary: Precision Swiss Grid (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and illustration / character art visuals.
## Avoid
- Soft organic blobs
- Misaligned freeform floating elements
- Heavy drop shadows that obscure grid hairlines
Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
