Post Description

A problem that I faced over the last couple years through side projects as well as companies I work with, is that everyone has the urge to turn their software AI native, but it's too much of a pain to deal with the backend migrations and building the UI.

I'm trying to fix that with BetterAgent - it allows you to go AI native in just a couple minutes. I'm supporting Next.js now, and working to add other frameworks too.

This is a mvp, I'm looking for feedback!

NitROS – Robot pub/sub in 3 lines, zero config

Zero-config mDNS discovery plus automatic handling of dicts, numpy arrays and PyTorch tensors is a genuinely handy ergonomics win for quick robot prototypes. JPEG/LZ4 heuristics and non-blocking send() show the author thought about real data types (images, point clouds) rather than just passing JSON. It’s not trying to replace ROS2 — and the README is honest about missing TF/actions and scalability limits — so treat this as a pragmatic tool for small-scale workflows, not a production ROS replacement.
