Anythink - From idea to live API, before your coffee gets cold

A Supabase, Directus or Airtable alternative that actually gets out of your way. Start for free, scale globally. Not another AI platform. Anythink is your backend, sorted. From idea to live API in minutes. From Enterprise to Vibes, we've got you covered. AI makes a nice frontend, but turning that into a business is where the weeks disappear. With Anythink, you get database, APIs, user management, Stripe payments, workflows, access control and search, all without touching code and infrastructure.

What’s the biggest bottleneck when launching a new product?

Honestly, this happens in every team
No matter how smooth the plan is, something always slows product development down.
Sometimes it s backend.
Sometimes DevOps.
Sometimes bugs.
Sometimes changing requirements.
Just curious - What slows things down the most in your team?
Dropped a poll.
Would love to see what everyone relates to.

Which BaaS works best for “Vibe Coding” projects — local-first, fast to deploy, and low-cost?

Hey everyone

I m exploring different Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) options for vibe coding projects small but creative builds that start locally and later go live (think quick prototypes, coding agents, or AI-powered hobby apps).

I d love to hear your thoughts on:

  • how easy is it to debug or simulate the backend locally?

  • how smooth is it to go from local to hosted?

  • any gotchas or scale-to-zero tricks to keep costs minimal?

  • functions, auth, storage, DB branching, edge runtimes, etc.
