Been building lots of internal tools and decided to build a React template derived from a production project. React is a ecosystem that requires a lot of picking an choosing to land on the right tools. This template skips the decision fatigue by combining battle-tested libraries with patterns proven in production. It’s designed for internal tools, admin dashboards, and B2B applications where: - 🛡 Reliability matters — Error handling, TypeScript, and predictable patterns - 🏎️ Speed matters — Pre-built auth, API integration, and UI scaffolding - 🔗 Xano is your backend — First-class auth and API integration - 🧩 Flexibility matters — Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui give you fully ownable components - 🎨 UX matters — Optimistic updates, cache control, polished loading states, and smooth transitions https://github.com/ThinlySlicedShortRib/react-spa-for-xano I've already used it to migrate another project from Weweb and saw tremendous improvement in speed and quality. I'd be happy to showcase the template's capabilities. Just hit me up.

If you use Xano, this is basically a life hack that will save you WEEKS of development time. I show how to build database tables and endpoints in seconds using the (Snappy) Xano MCP + Claude-Code. Not all of these features are available for every Xano account (I am testing some Xano beta features) - but 90% of them are, and this blew my mind when I finally got it working. I think it's worth a watch!

Worked on a project where security and observability were critical. The goal was to ingest emails from multiple vendors and transform them into a single, unified maintenance-ticket format. Tools Postmark: Stream inbound emails to a webhook Hookdeck: Reliable webhook solution that handles retries, request logging, and data transformation Google Cloud Storage: Secure storage solution Google Cloud Vertex AI: Security-compliant enterprise AI solution Auth & Verification - Postmark→Hookdeck: Basic Auth - Hookdeck→Xano: SHA-256 HMAC header to verify payload integrity - Xano email whitelist to reject unapproved senders - Caches and refreshes Google Cloud token every hour in Xano Data Flow 1. Receive & Persist: Receives email --> Postmark --> Hookdeck --> Xano, save Hookdeck event + inbound-email record in Xano 2. Upload Attachments: DB triggers upload email attachments to GCS 3. AI Parsing: Invoke Vertex AI (Gemini) to extract data from email content and attachment 4. Ticket Creation: Save “maintenance ticket” in Xano using the structured JSON output from Gemini Result A secure end-to-end pipeline that processes vendor emails into standardized maintenance tickets.

This new feature in Xano lets you build an MCP server that can communicate with your Xano database or external APIs using just a few clicks on a visual interface. I created a server that allowed Claude to interact with Xano's Metadata API, and it worked like a charm. With the right permission configs, you can build client-facing tools like admin assistants, onboarding flows, internal data lookup bots, or even public-facing query tools. Here's a link to the doc https://docs.xano.com/ai-tools/mcp-servers

I'm testing out Shopyflow and Smootify. They seem pretty similar so far. Does anyone have experience working with them? Is there any significant difference?
