Hi HN, I’m the creator of SnackBase.

I built this because I work in Healthcare and Life Sciences domain and was tired of spending months building the same "compliant" infrastructure (Audit Logs, Row-Level Security, PII Masking, Auth) before writing any actual product code.

The Problem: Existing BaaS tools (Supabase, Appwrite) are amazing, but they are hard to validate for GxP (FDA regulations) and often force you into a JS/Go ecosystem. I wanted something native to the Python tools I already use.

The Solution: SnackBase is a self-hosted Python (FastAPI + SQLAlchemy) backend that includes:

Compliance Core: Immutable audit logs with blockchain-style hashing (prev_hash) for integrity.

Native Python Hooks: You can write business logic in pure Python (no webhooks or JS runtimes required).

Clean Architecture: Strict separation of layers. No business logic in the API routes.

The Stack:

Python 3.12 + FastAPI

SQLAlchemy 2.0 (Async)

React 19 (Admin UI)

Live Demo: https://demo.snackbase.dev

Repo: https://github.com/lalitgehani/snackbase

The demo resets every hour. I’d love feedback on the DSL implementation or the audit logging approach.

Hi HN, In most codebases I’ve worked on, temporary hacks (“TODO: remove later”, “just for this release”) slowly become permanent. Nobody remembers why they exist, but they keep shipping to production. I built a small CLI called DebtBomb to make that explicit. Instead of free-form TODOs, you attach an expiry date to temporary code. When the date passes, CI fails until the code is removed or the expiry is intentionally extended. Recently I added integrations so expired debt bombs don’t just fail CI — they become visible and owned: When a debt bomb expires, DebtBomb can automatically create a Jira ticket with file path, owner, reason, and code snippet. It can also notify Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams. You can configure “expiring soon” warnings (e.g., 7 days before) so it’s not just a surprise break. Repo: https://github.com/jobin-404/debtbomb This is still early and I’m mainly trying to validate whether this actually improves how teams handle “temporary” code compared to TODOs, linters, or just creating tickets manually. I’d especially love feedback from people who’ve dealt with tech debt in long-lived codebases or CI-heavy environments. Thanks for reading.
