Looking at the pricing plan, even the cheapest one is overkill. I don't need that much. 2GB memory with a 6VM limit would be plenty.

I really enjoyed using this service. I signed up on my phone two nights ago, (using termux + ssh) and then used the builtin web agent to setup a small webapp. I was up and running with an HTTPS server in minutes, since all the HTTPS certs are automatically taken care of.

I'm not using it yet, but the way that it handles sharing looks incredibly sweet: an excellent way to take "home-cooked software and bare-foot developers" "perfect software: an audience of one" from one to a few / many people. Just sharing links that people can easily sign into, without having to build a whole auth system seems ridiculously easy here, and that is super cool. You don't have to think about it, you can just build your app: this fills a huge gap that makes making connected online software so much easier. https://outofdesk.netlify.app/blog/perfect-software https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46334206 https://exe.dev/docs/sharing

I used the included Shelley agent, which has a perfectly adequate simple web ui, to do all development. It was able to debug a bunch of pretty gnarly problems, using screenshots & scrolling down to get check it's work.

My output is a super simple site, very close to vibe coded, in ~90 minutes, but I quite enjoyed setting up a little guestbook project here: https://nan-falcon.exe.xyz/

I'd be interested if I knew who was behind the company and could reasonably trust that I wasn't going to get my data stolen etc.

Hello, I am behind this company. My co-founder Josh Bleecher Snyder has also been hanging around the internet for a while. There are several of us hacking away. It is very early days, we have a lot of work to do to earn your trust but it is my intention to do so.

Pulled from your Github, just to make it easier for folks to make sense:

> David Crawshaw - before this, CTO and co-founder of Tailscale

> Josh Bleecher Snyder - was a Director of Engineering at Braintree, amongst other things

Both are also early Go engineers and developers who hacked on the Go stdlib for years. Most people in the Go community know them. Great people, and the idea speaks for it. I wish them best of luck.

The devs are long time Go and Tailscale hackers, and have earned my trust several times over. They will earn yours too, I bet.

Yeah it sounds pretty promising. Will def keep an eye out. Even just knowing who the humans behind the project goes a long way.

I built a similar infrastructure, a bit more human friendly, for spinning up AI agents' sessions for scientific work rather than web dev. Also with Share link for the sessions. (https://ai-archive.io)

Nice one. Love the coding agent web ui. I used https://temp-mail.org as I didn't want to use a real email.

Enjoy my creation https://love-storm.exe.xyz:8001

Nobody can see this until you make the website public. (Test with a browser’s Incognito mode.)

I just tried this, genuinely groundbreaking! So quick to spin a VM and get going

Super cool. I can't justify investing time in it at the planned pricing but I'll keep an eye on it if they can hack together a more competitive VPS option.

Seems like a great tool but login not working for me, am I doing something wrong?
