This is a great foundation—Project Naawi has a clear, provocative mission. To make this compelling for the Hacker News crowd, we need to lean into the technical "how" (the SDK-first and Compiler approach) while making the call for contributors feel like an invitation to join an elite R&D effort. Show HN: Project Naawi – A Community-Driven "Compiler" for Intent-Driven Infra

We’re building Project Naawi, an open-source framework designed to replace the "YAML wall" with Intent-Driven Infrastructure (IDI). Instead of wrestling with rigid DSLs, we’re developing a system that translates natural language and high-level SDKs directly into cloud orchestration.

We’ve moved past the "vanity project" phase and are now entirely community-driven. We’re seeking contributors who are ready to stop managing configuration files and start building the logic that renders them obsolete.

Why contribute to Naawi?

    Architect the "Infra-Compiler": Help us build the core logic that maps intent to infrastructure providers. If you have experience with LLM tool-calling or cloud SDKs, your input will shape the engine.

    Kill the Boilerplate: We aren't just making YAML "better"—we're bypassing it. You’ll be working on the frontier of SRE and AI, defining how natural language becomes a deployment.

    Build the SDK Primitives: We need engineers to help define the functional building blocks that make infrastructure "conversational" and reliable.

    Real-World Stress Testing: No more building in a vacuum. Your contributions will be validated against actual platform bottlenecks that keep SREs up at night.

The Tech Stack:

    Core: Intent-based orchestration logic.

    Interface: Natural language processing paired with a robust SDK.

    Goal: Moving from "How to deploy" to "What to deploy."

If you’re tired of "configuration drift" and want to help build a more intuitive, intent-based way to deploy, check out our roadmap and open issues. We’d love to have you in the mix.

Would love to hear from the human behind this AI stuff. What are you making and why?
