In some parts of Italy, the name will make people's inner 12-year-old giggle. It sounds like a childish name for "penis". Do what you will with this information.

Thanks for the heads up - that's exactly the kind of cultural insight we need as we build for global markets. We're evaluating our options and really appreciate you taking the time to share this

Also, in French, pipeau is a kind of flute. "Playing flute" meaning bulshitting. Do what you will with this information.

Luckily, at Pipo360, we’re doing the opposite: cutting through BS and giving devs real, working backends in 60 seconds.
No flute-playing here. Just code.
French devs — we see you

Looks interesting but I don‘t understand the pricing. Why the monthly plan if I deploy to my computing resources?

Unlimited backend generations (vs. limited free gens)
AI-powered enhancements to evolve your code
Access to the in-browser editor, project management, versioning
Future features like team collab
You’re free to deploy anywhere — Vercel, AWS, your own VPS, etc. The plan is about giving you a complete dev experience, not locking you in.
Open to feedback — would love to hear what pricing model you'd prefer!

So, the initial demo is nice but I'm wondering at what level of complexity does it start "breaking"/hallucinating and not start producing anything useful.
Having said that, tools like this are the future for sure!

Great question — and totally fair.
Right now, Pipo360 handles CRUD-heavy apps, user auth, and DB integration across 16 frameworks + 14 DBs really well.
But yes — when you ask for complex, multi-service architectures or deeply custom business logic, the AI can still hallucinate or need refinement. We're actively working on grounding and constraints to improve that.
That said, we've shipped:
Live code editing
AI refinement (on top of generated code)
Full project management
So if it doesn't get it right 100%, you can still tweak it in-browser instantly.
And you're absolutely right — this is the future. Our goal: take you from boilerplate to 80% of a usable backend in 60 seconds or less.
Would love to know what you’d want it to build — happy to test its limits with you.

Genuine question, was this reply generated or in any way augmented by AI?

100% AI written for sure. You can tell by the final call to action, the em-dashes and the nauseating "always agree with the user" style of response.

nah , i have taken time to write it nothing much

Aren't you worried that this functionality will just be available in one of the regular AI IDEs in one of their next updates?

Your colors on dark theme make some of the callouts unreadable.

the_plug
Thanks for reporting this! I've updated the dark theme colors to improve readability of the callouts. The fix should be live now - let me know if you're still seeing any issues with readability on your setup
the_plug
let me fix that in a few ,i will update you
Hi HN ,
I got tired of writing the same boilerplate over and over — DB setup, auth, routes, security — every time I built a backend.
So I built Pipo360 — an AI-powered tool that generates production-ready backends in under 60 seconds, from just a plain-text description.
How it works: Type what you need
“Create a task management API with user auth and MongoDB”
Hit Generate
Get real, exportable code
Auth (JWT)
Database schema
CRUD routes
Deployable to Vercel, AWS, etc.
No templates. No lock-in. Just code that works.
Why it’s different: Built with Gemini AI + human supervision (to ensure real prod-quality output)
Exports to MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
Secure by default (JWT, RBAC, etc.)
Supports no-login backend previews
Try it live (No signup needed): https://pipo360.xyz
Would love feedback: What backend would you try first?
What would make it better for your workflow?
Would open sourcing part of it be useful?
