It provides a working CRM foundation with minimal dependencies, server-rendered HTML, built-in AI integration, mobile/PWA support, and complete source code ownership for self-hosted deployment.
Tinyjs is a framework for building desktop applications for macOS, Windows, and Linux with minimal size (~6 MB) using JavaScript. It uses the system webview for the frontend and txiki.js as a lightweight backend runtime, eliminating the need for bundling Chromium or Node like Electron does. The framework includes several example apps demonstrating features like music players, markdown editors, and system utilities.
Maki is an open-source Python framework for building multi-agent LLM applications that supports multiple LLM backends (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace), includes 16 built-in plugins, and provides a distributed layer for serving agents over HTTP with workflow orchestration and dependency resolution.
TetherPHP is a minimal PHP framework designed for both human developers and AI agents, emphasizing traceable request-to-response paths and straightforward code. Built on six design principles including human-first readability, agent compatibility, and a small composable core.
The Cornetto Ice Cream Cone Framework is a prompting method using four C's (context, constraints, control, and a fourth element) to improve AI agent performance on complex tasks. The framework emphasizes designing an independent control loop that doesn't know about other components, and can be implemented through fresh context windows, static tests, or human oversight.
A guide proposing 12 principles for building reliable LLM-powered agent applications, inspired by the 12 Factor Apps methodology. The author argues that production agents should be mostly deterministic software with LLM reasoning at key points, and introduces a framework covering factors like prompt ownership, context management, execution state, and control flow.
E2E is an open source TypeScript testing framework for web and mobile applications with customizable testing capabilities, featuring an API for app interaction, agent automation, and screen assertions.
