Very invested in this idea. Bullish on products like @val.town that could handle the security aspect of that (maybe you want to have a button that hits an internal API, or refreshes data).

Pretty sure this is why @val.town is going to win out.

Version control, modularity, team projects.

Ship code-first automation, internal tools, and demos in minutes.

Unsure the size of your demos that you need; but if you like serverless @val.town and Townie is an interesting take on this.

Their tagline is/was β€œwhat if gists could run like lambdas?”

Holiday musing: fixing stuff on prod I love Val.town for building little experiments and getting them hosted quicky. The fact that you can instantly have a URL to run code is incredible.

Seems to work decently! If you want to play with this yourself just remix my @val.town val and add the env variables for your own val & account www.val.town/x/tijs/atpro... Should run fine on free. But if you want more syncs then every 15 mins just upgrade and change the sync interval...

all my apps gone!

from @glitch.com that is. have finally migrated them all (the good ones anyway)

- bluesky bots β†’ @val.town
- express/fastify websites β†’ netlify functions & htmx
- also archived some express websites to static html (spidered using wget) that didn’t need server code any more

phone-sized screenshot. the top is a header that says "Is It Two Words? a word game by Alex Wein". There is a rectangle below with "2/25" and "0:11", beneath that is another similar sized rectangle that says: "Last Word: stressed βœ…  desserts  βœ…  -2s". The box below is larger and says rumel in front of a half-light-blue half-light-purple background. Below that is another rectangle: "Next Word: reviver"
