CLI tool that makes your app self-hostable in one command
Hey , So I’ve been working on a platform called Kage that helps developers sell, secure, and scale their self-hosted software. Self-hosted products are powerful, but getting paid for them, while keeping deployments secure and compliant, is a challenge. With Kage, you can: - Sell: Automatic licensing, renewals, and usage-based billing. - Secure: Prevent unauthorized use, even for enterprise deployments. - Scale: AI-powered deployment that lets customers get started with one click. I built Kage because I saw too many developers struggle to capture the value of their work. I'd love your…

In the maker’s words, at launch
I've been exploring the self-hosting world for some time now, and I wanted to simplify things with one command and avoid having to jump through hoops to make my application self-hostable. I thought many of these could be automated, so I'm automating everything related to self-hosting, one after the other. Please…

KodusOct 2025 · kodus.io · ▲145Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a quick update we just launched at Kodus. For those who don’t know it yet, Kodus is a code review agent that runs directly in your team’s Git workflow (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket… and now Azure DevOps as well). It helps maintain code quality and consistency by analyzing each PR based on your team’s own rules and repository standards.

I built self-hosted deployment automation tool for Windows and IISAug 2026 · fdeploy.com · ▲35Seven years in the making (I admit that I did get a kid at some point which slowed down progress and brought it to a halt quite a few times), I decided to finaly release it, with a rather drastic change to the now (I believe) generous licensing model. Unlike current major players in this field, I decided to go with uncrippled, free version for commercial use for corps with up to 1M USD ARR. I poured my heart and soul into this, not because I was looking for financial success, but because I felt it just had to be done, given the price hikes wherever you look today. While my wife and kid were…

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…
