I had built an agent with LangGraph a 9 months ago--now seems React agents are in LangChain. Over all pretty happy with that, I just don't use any of the dumb stuff like embedding/search layer: just tools&state
But I was actually playing with a few frameworks yesterday and struggling--I want what I want without having to write it. ;). Ended up using pydantic_ai package, literally just want tools w/ pydantic validation--but out of the box it doesn't have good observability, you would have to use their proprietary SaaS; and it comes bundled with Temporal.io (yo odio eso proyecto). I had to write my own observability which was annoying, and it sucks.
If anyone has any things they've built, I would love to know, and TypeScript is an option. I want:
- ReAct agent with tools that have schema validation
- built in REALTIME observability w/ WebUI
- customizable playground ChatUI (This is where TypeScript would shine)
- no corporate takeover tentacles
p.s.s: I know... I purposely try to avoid hard recommendations on HN, to avoid enshittification. "reddit best X" has been gamed. And generally skip these subtle promotional posts..
