The backend for AI code editors - Manifest.build 🦚

,

Hi everyone! I’m the founder of Manifest, a backend built for how developers work today with AI tools like Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf and deploy it on Vercel.

Manifest lets you define your entire backend with data, storage, logic, and an admin panel. You create it entirely from a single YAML file that both humans and LLMs can read and edit. :sparkles:

Why it works:

  • Integrates with any dev environment, from Cursor to your custom workflows
  • Uses up to 10× fewer tokens than other backend solutions
  • One-command deploy (coming soon)

The ideal use case? Pair Manifest with any frontend project on Vercel to swap out static content for dynamic data instantly!

Manifest is open source and rapidly growing. We’ve already earned over 2,600 GitHub stars :star: and keep iterating based on your feedback.

Over the next few weeks we’ll roll out even more features to streamline communication between your frontend and your Manifest backend. It’s already incredible when integrated with vibe-coding tools like V0, and it’ll exceed your expectations very soon.

Can’t wait to see what you build! :flexed_biceps:
