From boilerplate hell to Metadata-driven: Why I’m building ObjectStack.

Hi Product Hunt community! 👋

I’m Jianguo, the founder of ObjectStack AI.

Like many of you, I spent years drowning in repetitive boilerplate code—manually syncing schemas, API routes, and frontend types. It felt like I was spending 80% of my time on "plumbing" and only 20% on actual innovation.

That’s why my team and I decided to build ObjectStack, a metadata-driven engine designed to automate the heavy lifting of software development. Our goal is simple: allow developers to define logic via metadata and let the engine handle the rest.

We are currently in the early stages, also dogfooding our own engine to build HotCRM (a flexible CRM for agile teams).

As a solo founder transitioning into a team-based startup , I’d love to hear from this community:

What is the most frustrating "boilerplate" task in your current workflow?

For those using low-code/no-code tools, what is the #1 limitation you keep hitting?

Excited to learn from you all and share more of our journey here! 🚀
