My custom, always-on agent is the most valuable piece of software I own. We're in a beautiful DIY moment for software/tools. Every conversation, every workflow I wire into it, it gets more uniquely mine. You can't buy this... If you haven't started one yet, you should.. it's a massive unlock. Here's how mine works:

Been working on personal a project called drawer.so and excited to share. It's the easy way to save, share, and publish html artifacts to a domain that is yours. No hosting or deployment hassel required. You get a dedicated subdomain like.. [your-name].drawer.so... You pick :) Just connect claude, chatgpt, or your agent and start publishing artifacts. Perfect for docs, tools, presentations, and anything you can dream of. Control visibility - private / public / pw-protected I'm super excited about the simplicity and power of pure html, css, and javascript artifacts.. I've been building so many personal tools and client proposals right within claude or via my hermes agent.

Something that's not talked about enough in AI development: 👉 Your local setup and deployment pipeline. When I used no-code tools, I never thought about any of this. Dev and prod were just two modes. Build in dev. Hit deploy. Everything syncs. When I started building with code, I needed the same thing.. A playground and a production environment (at least) I quickly realized that now I was in charge of keeping them in sync. I literally tracked database changes in Apple Notes in the beginning like a madman. Copy. Paste. Deploy. Pray. It worked until it didn't. Forget one change and suddenly I'm up all night pulling out my hair. Now I work entirely on my machine with local database, test data, auth, ngrok, etc (traditional devs are rolling their eyes at this point). When I make a schema change, I run one command. It generates a migration file. Timestamped. Versioned. Tracked in Git. When I'm ready to ship I push to GitHub and the pipeline runs. Local becomes live ✨ No touching production directly and no praying (ehh well maybe a little 🙏) All that said..I'm pulling together a simple local to prod starter repo based on my current dev workflow.. It contains -- Local Supabase so you're not testing against real users. -- Ngrok so you can test webhooks and integrations without deploying. -- GitHub Actions so one push runs db changes and deploys automatically. And because I can't help myself... a component + style guide foundation. This is the setup I wish I had when I started that would have saved me some long nights... If you interested in this let me know and I'll send it your way
