Technical Expertise - Done Right, Done Fast

[Josh @joshmanders]

Hi I'm Josh and I built a cloud hosting platform @primcloud by myself.

Every feature available under the standard tier is ready right now, you just can't use it yet.

Why? Because Monday the 21st is my mom's birthday and I promised her I would launch then as a gift, so you gotta wait.

But you can sign up today and after onboarding you will get an email the moment I launch on Monday telling you that you're in.

I also have a great easter egg hidden in the platform for everyone who deploys an application.

Brohonestly, this could be something nifty.

Getting ready to remove the BETA label from @primcloud.

[Josh @joshmanders]

Pushed new landing page for @primcloud tonight.

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

Yesterday I shipped one of the biggest updates to @htmlcsstoimage in years.

It was months of devs but many years of dreams.

🥁🥁🥁

We have a Template editor now! Huzzah!

It's the most frontend-y thing I've ever done.

Now: enjoy

Coming later this week: Beta label gets removed and @primcloud opens up to everyone.

POST-MORTEM: https://t.co/cwbIxovZDg TLS Certificate Expiration

SEVERITY: High (for us)
IMPACT: Dashboard down. Customer apps: fine.
CUSTOMERS AFFECTED: @yasinkavakliat. (He'll be fine.)

We set up automatic cert renewal for customer apps via @cloudflare for SaaS. The dashboard, being special and important, used Let's Encrypt ACME directly. It did not renew. It expired.

ROOT CAUSE: We are our own worst customer.

RESOLUTION: Moved dashboard behind Cloudflare too. Decided we trust Cloudflare more than ourselves.

NEXT STEPS: Stop being special.

Welp, it's safe to say my tests for @primcloud billing have concluded successfully.

I've ran 2 test apps and a real website of mine on it for 30+ days.

March 21st, 2026 doors will be opened to the public.

[Josh @joshmanders]

Primcloud is officially protected by @cloudflare with the feature I just released tonight. Custom domains. The first is my own blog officially migrated over to Primcloud. No longer a hello world, but a real website. https://t.co/5vsayhI99d
