Show HN: Simple self-hosted Sentry alternative with a 5-minute setup

Hacker News - Wed, 04/30/2025 - 10:52am

Hey hackers!

In January 2025, I started building Telebugs. It's an installable error tracker that works with Sentry SDKs.

I come from a Rails background and previously worked at an error tracking/APM company, so I figured: why not build my own? I wanted a simple, reliable tool I could own outright, without surprise bills for overages.

Telebugs is built with Rails 8, Hotwire, TailwindCSS, and SQLite. Like 37signals’ ONCE products (my inspiration), it’s pay-once: prep your hardware, run one command, and you’ll be up and running in 10 minutes (5 minutes refers to the actual installation time).

It supports push and email notifications, handles millions of errors per day (depending on hardware), runs in a single Docker container, and auto-cleans old data based on your rules. The idea is that you install it once and forget it.

I’ve shared updates on social media since day one, and today I’m launching it publicly. The whole idea of installable, self-hosted software was new to me, but building Telebugs has made web dev feel fun again.

It took 3.5 months of near-daily work to ship it solo. I now use it to track errors across all my projects.

Happy to answer any questions!

Show HN: Pupilus – Generate 3D models from text or sketches in under 60 seconds

Hacker News - Wed, 04/30/2025 - 10:41am

Hey HN,

I'm a solo dev and recently launched Pupilus – a tool that generates .glb 3D models from a text prompt or an image.

Example prompt: "A cute baby dragon, cartoon style, colorful, isolate"

Output is Unity-ready. It's designed for rapid prototyping or early game dev phases.

You get 3 free generations to try it: https://www.pupilus.com

I'd love your feedback — both positive and brutal.

Do you think it is a useful tool? If so, which features should I work on next? i.e. Unity extension?

Happy to answer anything about how I built it, the pipeline, or what's under the hood.

Show HN: Web Tool to Create a Universal Database MCP Server

Hacker News - Wed, 04/30/2025 - 9:58am

We just launched a small project I'm really proud of — a turbo Database MCP server! https://centralmind.ai

- Connect your database to Cursor or Windsurf in just a few clicks.

- Chat with PostgreSQL, MSSQL, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, and more.

- Query huge Parquet files instantly with DuckDB in-memory mode.

- No downloads, no setup headaches.

Short video: https://youtu.be/BboQtxen9tA

Built on top of our open-source MCP Database Gateway: https://github.com/centralmind/gateway

Note: You’ll need to provide connection strings to your databases. For those who care about privacy, it still can be a great tool for experimenting with MCPs, development, or analyzing public datasets with DuckDB
