Hi HN! I'm Nick from NextBlock™ CMS.

Open beta right now, if you install and help me find bugs and optimize UX/UI, I'm giving out FREE lifetime license keys for my premium packages: Ecommerce and Cortex AI worth 250$ each/year

Exited to finally be able to share my project here. If you are tired of slow (wordpress) or complicated de-coupled CMS like I am, go ahead and try my one click install to Vercel. Works like a charm and can have you started in 3min!!

Any questions or comments are welcomed at this stage!


Agreed! When a tool is explicitely marketed for offline use, opt-out telemetry feels especially contradictory. Should Definitely be opt-in by default...


Open-sourced doesnt have to be free either. There's always the very good GNU Affero General Public License 3 (AGPL-3) and others. I think most developers want open-source for transparency. We want to know what we are downloading.


AGPL software is in practice always gratis, because anyone who has a copy can post it on the internet where anyone can download it. The monetization benefit of AGPL is that it makes it significantly more annoying (but by no means impossible) for IaaS providers to sell managed hosting for the software without making a separate commercial agreement with the copyright holder. This usually isn't relevant to dev tools that users run on their own machines.


You say this as a fact, but you're wrong and I'm living proof of that. You can earn good income selling copies of AGPL software. It doesn't matter if people upload it to a public place, that's their right, and *that right* is why so many people buy a copy in the first place. You are spreading FUD.


Also, the money can be made selling premium package/modules/features on that Free core AGPL software.


I have a 5080 Super RTX but its still not enough to run these big models. I use Gemma 4 right now on a Debian Linux with no GUI that I access remotely. Its works pretty well, but still not as good as any of the big models like Opus 5... Can't wait to be able to buy a personal home server that can run much bigger models. I heard some companies have started building AI PCs only used to have a personal AI model at home, have any of you tried one yet?
