I'm considering starting an open source project. Initially this would be a set of language specific modules (python and javascript) incorporated into ML/AI pipelines to improve observability.

- How much time should I spend structuring the project and building tooling to make development easier, vs just diving in and building the project?

- What are the most important areas to focus on make sure its as useful as possible (documentation, license, community, other areas I haven't considered?

Hi HN, is there an equivalent of Hacker News that is popular in China? I'm thinking of tech-focused news sites that have significant influence on the tech scene in China, with discussions, upvotes, etc. Ideally it would be translatable via Google Translate or have an english language version.

I'm interested in building an application that allows a user to sign up and login, ask to be notified about an upcoming event, and receive an email notification. It could be a web-application or phone app, depending on the easiest and fastest development process.

I'm familiar with the enterprisey way of doing this (for example spinning up a React app, cloud-infrastructure, deploy pipelines, etc etc etc) but I'd like to develop and iterate without a huge investment in time.

Are there no / low-code tools or frameworks that would allow me to built an MVP around this use-case? I'm thinking of something that could be released to the public in limited fashion, not a purely in-house prototype or mockup.
