- Hey everyone! James here, solo founder of Nabla. I'm building an evidence relay for programmatic evidence collection for key guidelines such as NIST 800-53, CMMC, FedRamp 20x, and more with ease via an intuitive REST API.
I just spent all weekend fleshing out the final pieces of our API and perfecting it to a point I feel comfortable launching things properly, after a few bungled launches in the past. We now have a stable API running with four endpoints on Azure Container Apps, powered by a FIPS-compliant Rust build (Chainguard Rust base + glibc-dynamic runtime).
This wouldn't have been possible without the amazing work of OSS projects in the Rust community such as:
- serde - axum - rustls - aws-lc-rs - sqlx
So, as a way to give back, I decided to open source the /v1/diagram endpoint that parses HashiCorp Terraform .tfstate and uses Cloudflare Workers AI to generate Mermaid-based architecture boundary diagrams on demand. Drumroll please...
Presenting Hayashi! A Rust-based diagramming-as-code API that allows you to turn your .tfstate file into details architecture boundary diagrams. Hayashi is a web service that parses Terraform state files and generates visual architecture diagrams with security and compliance boundaries. It leverages Cloudflare Workers AI to create human-friendly diagrams that meet FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and other compliance framework requirements.

- Hey HN, I wrote this blog post after spending about a month fleshing out the core features of my solutions studio, Atelier Logos, in an attempt to provide something different from the fly-by-night "AI agent" agencies that are popping up day after day. Something I personally have always stood by is that the customer experience is something that can drastically set a service business out from the massive amounts of competition in the industry, and while that may not sound like much of a groundbreaking idea, I wanted to share how I applied it in practice via a using AI to turn my NextJS landing page into a self-contained PWA that has features which I hope will keep people coming back and using the services like a product.
The two core features have so far ended up being:
1. An Intercom-like chat implementation (That's right, you can build that yourself, don't pay them) which handles text, audio, and video 2. A content curation service using Exa that scrapes relevant content directly to a users profile
This is all tied to each Atelier Logos user/member's profile, and over time I hope to add other features/modules as they come to mind. My question to the HN community is twofold:
1. Do you think these are useful just as a service 2. Do you think they would be more useful as an API for others to embed in their applications?

- YES!!!! I've actually been thinking about starting a studio specifically geared to turning complex RFPs and protocols into usable tools with AI-assisted coding. I built these using Cursor just to test how for it could go. I think the potential of doing that as a service is huge:

I think it's funny that Roselite caused a huge meltdown to the Veilid team simply because they have a weird adamancy to no AI assistance. They even called it "plagiarism"
I'd love to link up with a company to build out some internal tools for them using spec-driven development. I've built a ton of complex software using things like Claude Code and type-theory, but haven't had a change to put that to the test in a FTE role, which is a goal for 2026. Let me know if you'd like to connect.
Here's some cool projects I've built:
