think I'm getting somewhere with the landing page

[MBV @mbvlabs]

I have cut quite a bit from andurel, no more DI (dependency injection) mode, no more vanilla css vs tailwind options, no multiple database options

I thought I knew how to keep products/tools simply but this process has thought me to always:
Cut cut cut

introduce later if needed

[MBV @mbvlabs]

went through the basecamp cli to get some inspo for making andurel's cli more agent friendly

made a ton of changes that will be available in nightly tomorrow

think release candidate next week is realistic

[MBV @mbvlabs]

@h1sort Might borrow a bit, thanks for sharing

I want non-developers to confidently be able to say:
> spin up a live version of this PR on this URL with this data
or
> add servers to regions where usage is high
to their llm of choice and have deploy crate provide the APIs to do that in a secure way without breaking the bank..

New pitch/vision for DeployCrate:
> The future of infrastructure isn’t more dashboards, it’s delegation. DeployCrate is the infrastructure platform built for agents, giving developers the control of self-hosting with an interface designed for AI to operate safely and predictably.

was kind of frustrated with my testing of glm 5.2 and kimi 2.7

would just blow through tokens doing the same reads over and orver

then I switched to the pi coding agent instead and both models stopped going on and on in loops

the harness does seem to matter

@yatish_me react support available on nightly @yatish_me

[MBV @mbvlabs]

putting deploy crate on 'standby' for a little bit so I can focus on finishing andurel

having built multiple projects simultaneously for a long time has not been a good strategy 😂

will get it to a release candidate and then pick up work for deploy crate again

[MBV @mbvlabs]

@yatish_me yes but not sure when, want to get v1 released first before adding more elements to the checklist

but should be relatively simple

[MBV @mbvlabs]

@rei_hoshiko7 Nice to hear that react+inertia resonates. I was a bit skepitcal about adding inertia due to having written a ton of react before llms and seeing the mess it would often become

But having explored it with an llm i'm actually quite excited

[MBV @mbvlabs]

andurel is _very_ close to having the final structure for v1 release

i'm finishing up some things, adding support for react in inertia and then re-building a project with it

if nothing comes up, v1 will finally be out

almost 1 year in the making

I'm back to building SPAs but this time with AI and Dom is having doubts using StaticBackend for his SaaS

Give it a listen!

We also have some very interesting episodes coming out soon with the creator of Wails @leaanthonycymru as well as @thorstenball, the co-founder of AMP

[MBV @mbvlabs]

@yatish_me I'm using gonertia (https://t.co/8jzR5YNnLF) so more interested in the andurel specific API than other starter kits

I'm adding SSR support now and also adding inertia run cmd to shadowfax so everything works together

Considering openapi style client generation for fe/be comms

[MBV @mbvlabs]

@FireworksAI_HQ

[MBV @mbvlabs]

@FireworksAI_HQ has more faith on my wallet and AI usage then is reasonable

[MBV @mbvlabs]

kimi 2.7 code on @FireworksAI_HQ is crazy fast

might be realistic to have a similar spend as the 200$ plans using these professionally mon-fri

obviously not the same amount tokens but could be done

[MBV @mbvlabs]

@yatish_me Thanks @yatish_me! I haven't used inertia before (building a project with it right now) so I'd love feedback/help with the API and structure if you've the time 🙏

[MBV @mbvlabs]

codex to "make modern dashboard, use shadcn, make no mistakes" is a real time save

all public or user facing pages are still done by hand using templ+datastar

but i got to admit, llms are great at writing javascript

[MBV @mbvlabs]

testing out the latest version of andurel by building out my consultancy site

having recently added inertia support it's a good candidate for testing out that feature since I don't really care about how the dashboard is made, just need to be there

adding shadcn and telling...
