https://banker.so/ - Retool alternative through vibecoding

- Building a Retool/Looker alternative for internal tools so non-technical teams can build their own without creating busywork for engineers. - Works like Lovable/Replit with two differences: Got 3,000 integrations out of the box through Pipedream SDK and got access controls in place with embedded auth, backend (django) and database


Analysis done with Claude Code and then Codex to verify. Each agent was given API keys in free tiers to play around and test the sandboxes for various things.


You validated a sandbox with only AI?



Can you explain how you achieve this in more detail? Did not see any in-detail explanation in the readme in repo


Fair point the README focuses more on benchmarks than implementation here's the short version:

1. Use `git ls-files` instead of walking the filesystem (huge speed win - dropped Chromium 59GB scan from 6.6s to 0.46s) 2. Parse each file path into components (folders, filename, extension) 3. Score each file based on how query terms match path components, weighted by position and depth 4. Return top N matches sorted by score

The core insight: /services/stripe/webhook.handler.ts already encodes the semantic relationship between "stripe" and "webhook" through its structure. No need to read file contents or generate embeddings.

I should add an architecture doc to the repo, thanks for the nudge.


Had a pretty bad year. Hoping 2026 will be way better! Happy new year everybody


Those happen. Best wishes for 2026


best of luck to you big dog, make sure to work out


Same, but I look at it like setting the foundation for a better few years.

Kinda like rewriting a shitty codebase :P


There was an old legendary HN comment around the following concept:

"All things being equal, people buy from their friends. So just make more friends"

If you are confident of your services, just make more friends. Talk to people more. If it is too salesly already, you lost the conversation. Instead try and learn about their lives. I sometimes even open up with "No agenda to sell, genuinely curious"

Note: If anyone finds the link to the comment, please drop it here to credit the author.



I found too many sources in Google, one from 1997, but I can't find the origin of it.


Probably Colin Dowling:

> I say in every talk I give: “All things being equal, people buy from their friends. So make everything else equal, then go make a lot of friends.”


Thats old as time. The more basic form of it is: "Don't worry about selling, just make a friend"


Traditionally the time of the year for Spotify Wrapped variations! Coded with Claude Code.

Run `uvx claude-code-wrapped` or `npx claude-code-wrapped`


Tried a couple times but it failed


Thank you for flagging! Are you able to share the input you tried so we can diagnose it for you?

Failed requests that are coming in (people are trying some wild inputs!!) we are keeping an eye on and adding to our edge cases pile to fix asap!


Banker.so | Computer inside a computer inside an agent

Started this out by building a spreadsheet controlled by an LLM. Now putting a direct filesystem inside, simplified enough to have programmatic control of slide builders, spreadsheets, terminals and vibecoding applications
