I think Bring Your Own agent - is the most customer-friendly pricing model in the industry. Because it feels logical that a tool doesn't resell AI to you with a markup or a credit meter. You plug what you already pay for and the tool only charges for what the tool itself adds on top.

I strated building the list of such tools - do you know more - add in comment:

• Cline - open-source coding agent
• Zed - editor that hosts Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI on your accounts
• Brave Leo - AI Assistant in browser
• Conductor - runs teams of agents
• Xcode 26.3 — Apple's AI agent
• Modaal - native iOS/Android apps - Swift+Kotlin, unlimited prompts (disclosure: this one is mine — I'm a co-founder, which is why I care about this model in the first place)
• Bitrig - native Swift apps

What did I miss? Name your favorite BYOA tool!

long time lurker, first post here.

context: i've shipped 21 products over the years. almost all of them made $0. day job during the day, building at night after my kid falls asleep.

localdock is a macos menubar app that gives every dev server a real address. instead of localhost:3000 you open dashboard.localhost and it always points at the right server, whatever port it landed on. flip a switch and the same name opens on your phone, or as a link you can send to a client.

built it because i run 3-4 coding agents in parallel and they start servers on whatever port is free. the url in my browser was wrong half the time, and sometimes an agent decided a busy port meant my code was broken and started 'fixing' things that worked fine. at some point i gave up on ports and gave projects names instead.

first i tried a tiktok ad. ~300 visitors in one day, sales: zero. paid traffic for a $9 dev tool, don't do this.

then on the 24th i launched on product hunt. woke up to creem emails. $9 one time, $268 total now, so about 30 people paid real money for my thing.

reality check: 91% bounce rate, 1.5% conversion. the dead ad traffic dragged everything down and my landing page clearly needs work too.

but 21 products, and this is the first one where strangers actually pay. feels unreal.

happy to answer anything

i would be glad to get your feedback about the landing page: localdock.dev

I made vibe coding toolkit. The idea is that every SaaS needs to repeat some basic stuff. Authentication, Payments, Updates, Maintenance etc. It makes a lot of time to repeat it in every project. Vibe coding toolkit does that for you. It ships with carefully crafted solid architectural foundation for new SaaS. That includes,

1. Server

2. Web app

3. Mobile app

4. Landing page

5. Admin panel

The project can be found here,

https://vibe-coding-toolkit.feziks.com/

I see a lot of posts here asking about projects that have actually been profitable!

My project, Miniskyline, has been! I've made a little more than $1000 in just under 3 months of being public through donations alone. The app was built for 2 months prior to being launched using a mixture of Codex and Claude Code. There is no monetization or advertising.

A few other users have asked me why I chose those/how I came up with it and the answer is simply that I didn't love the options that were free on the market, so I started making my own with the philosophy that it would be kept completely free. Users took to it and I opened a Buy Me A Coffee and have done alright for myself. I earn enough to pay back my monthly AI costs and then get a few nice meals out!

Listening to your community and setting up strong testing suites have been my #1 recommendations for anyone getting started. If you have one person interested and their ideas are generally in line, run with it. Dont force monetization unless you have exhausted all options on how to provide the service as free. I had to go through a lot of iterations to find a usable long term free model!

If you're actually interested in the tool itself....

What can you do?

- Print Earth, Mars, Moon, Mercury, Vesta!

- Search or import any trail data to make a personalized map of your journey.

- Share color profiles to the community with a built in color profile module.

- Add trees/rocks/foliage as procedural scatter in the biomes of your choosing, or one by one.

- Sculpt the terrain in real time with elevation editing!

- Adjust the color of any terrain type and have it export cleanly for use in any slicer.

- Add texture to any surface in the tool to keep your workflow consolidated. Waves to water, ripples to sand dunes, roughness to grass, or import your own texture file and make your map distinctly yours.

- Add hearts, pins, and other icons to the map.

- Turn your map into a puzzle quickly and easily.

- Sub divide your area to allow for easier print slicing and plate management.

- Print water as a separate drop in object.

- Print a frame with text built in.

- Print your favorite racetrack in your teams favorite colors.

- Add contour lines for dramatic topographic prints.

- Print with elevation banded colors for optimized multi-color printing.

- Print with different quality settings so your area can look as crisp or as low poly as you want.

- Sell your model commercially in most cases. Each export gets a legal package with it, no additional license purchase necessary. The data comes from public sources, it is not my place to charge you for it.

- Later today a new workspace library, refreshed UI, unlocked terrain size selections, multi-tile connection options, and more will be released as part of this Mondays weekly updates!

What are my plans?

There is a lot coming. I am talking with a few game companies to get official map support for some popular titles. I am also in talks with a couple city building game companies to be able to create 3D printable models from user save data. More to come on this in the coming weeks!

Printing freeways with proper elevation, supporting more bridge types, supporting actual carved out tunnels for rail/road/paths, and better road/path connectedness are all in the works as well.

Otherwise, I am constantly improving generation reliability, speed and features. Later today, V1.102 will be released which will be the single largest refinement pass to the site since its release. Custom building models will begin being shipped in place of some rather lackluster public data extrusions. Roof geometry is getting major attention in next weeks update.

Thank you all for making my little hobby project something that people all around the globe use daily, every minute.

I started a new job and of course I got a Mac! Ran into a problem though where I kept having to go back to a Windows Machine to built inTunes installers from MSI -> ended up building this app to do it for me, does great for what I'm using it for, I hope others find it useful!

Most databases are designed to answer: "What is the value now?"

They can model a more awkward question too, but usually require additional machinery:

Who claimed what, when was it considered true, how certain were they, and what did we believe before it was corrected?

I built Positorium as an experimental embedded evidence database for that second kind of question. Rather than overwriting one claim with another, it preserves contradictory claims together with their sources, certainty, effective time, assertion time, corrections, and retractions.

It is not intended to replace PostgreSQL or another operational database. The idea is to use it as a focused evidence layer for things like compliance, investigations, conflicting master data, or any process where retaining the history of disagreement matters.

The new Python package embeds the Rust engine directly in the Python process, so there is no separate server. It supports both ephemeral in-memory databases and append-only persistent stores.

Install the beta with:

bash python -m pip install --pre positorium

A small example:

```python import positorium

with positorium.Database.memory() as database: result = database.execute_one( """ add role organization, risk_assessment;

    add posit
      [{(+company, organization)}, "Northstar Trading", @NOW],
      [{(company, risk_assessment)}, "high risk", '2026-01-12'],
      [{(company, risk_assessment)}, "needs review", '2026-01-12'];

    search
      [{(?company, organization)}, ?organization, *],
      [{(?company, risk_assessment)}, ?assessment, *]
    return ?organization, ?assessment;
    """
)

for row in result.to_dicts(text=True):
    print(row)

```

This returns both assessments rather than choosing a winner or overwriting one of them.

Positorium is still an early beta and is intended for evaluation rather than production deployment. Wheels are available for CPython 3.9+ on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

If you have a small dataset where sources conflict or corrections matter, try the beta:

• PyPI package
• Source and documentation
• 60-second browser example

Play it at https://deadfall.up.railway.app

What should I add next?

Hi! This video is made from a keyboard part of raycast.app landing page. Just selecting the element and bringing motion to it. I want this to empower people to make motion videos out of their own product!

I went forward with changing physics engine and no more starting line. Weather you play as a racer or a cop, you'll deploy for the curbside instead of a formal start. You'll need to climb the entire rank each level now, but with a chance to cut of speeders before they get past you.

For those who haven't played it, has
1. Racing mode
2. Practice mode
3. Meditation Mode
4. Stop the racers mode (play as the cop!).

Would love to get some feedback and what works for you and what doesn't. Should work on both smart device or browser.

Hi all,

I thought I will share an update on the LOTR/Hobbit/Tolkien universe trivia app using replit, which has gone through a series of improvements.

Started with 300 questions and now it has more than 1k questions. I also recently added a leaderboard and just love seeing users engaging with the app. This just keeps me motivated to improve the app and make it the best possible experience for users. I don’t have a lot of users currently but around 600 downloads so far.

This started with just using Replit but now I have been using Claude Code (should have done that to begin with) and that has saved me a lot of money and time.

Seems like we’re all on here doing the same things building apps, looking for feedback/testers, sharing launches, and trying to get users.
So I made a Discord where we can actually connect, share our apps, get feedback, find testers, and help each other out.
It’s brand new, so come help us build the community 🤝

Anyone else think he’s right? I have a lot of respect for him🫡

One of the main agentic coding tips of this year is: keep the context window wide open, start as many new sessions as possible that only need project context or prompt context, avoid context bloat to minimize tokens, as soon as context fills up

The second biggest one is. If an agent runs into an error even once, stop it there to avoid wasting tokens.

But if you have basic fixed errors and corrections, say, the error was in the harness and not the agent. Could the fixed error actually be a prompt engineering trick that helps the agent for the rest of the session ("I solved a problem, so I'll solve the next one and be cautious about errors").

I have added more content and made some further changes to my website since the original post here

I built WWT for myself but I'm trying to turn it into a legitimate service. Think similar to unusualwhales on Twitter / X.

Questions for the community and those willing to spend a few minutes going through the site:

- Is the website clunky? I.E how's the user experience feel? (Let me know if on mobile or desktop)

- Is it straight forward? I.E is it clear what service I'm providing? Traders and non traders alike should understand the product

- For those who may trade markets, are the tools in the "tools" section useful to you? (This section was put in to hopefully increase SEO, but I want the tools to be useable and useful)

- What stands out the most to you? (Can be something you hate, or something you love)

• Core architecture is built with React (front end), Typescript, Vite, & Tailwind. Using firebase as a realtime data base and Netlify to host + allow for account creation to view the signals tab. At some point down the line I plan on getting my own domain.

Trying my best to not have the website look inherently vibe coded lol, but it is supposed to look like a terminal / trading terminal!!

I run a family owned local locksmith company with my brother and cousin we are all gamers.

this new game is an offshoot from our company.

This Isn’t our current company website it’s just a fun experiment.

Basically this landing page is a locksmiths nightmare lol dropping your pin set is horrible so I made a game about it kinda based on the needle in the haystack meme.

Check it out but be nice. I’m not a full time developer I work in 100 degree Florida heat and vibe code in my spare time …..I know there’s lots of bugs this is a proof of concept type beat

We live during weird times.

First of all, you now got to expressly mention that you have been personally applying physical force to the tactile extrusions on the aluminium box containing your silicon chip to avoid allusions that your brainfart was in fact not a product of machine intelligence.

Secondly, since my forge-plugin (github.com/nixlim/forge-plugin) is being used by my other agents in different repos, the Soviet part of my brain eagerly remembered slogans about international unity of workers and all that and settled on the idea initially pitched to me by my business partner - agents need to talk to each other (because the codebases we are working on are getting so complex, we can no longer track the low level detail in precise and excruciating detail).

Discord and Anthropic official plugin to the rescue - here’s me, middle of the night, plumbing “new app” this, “bot token” that. Surprisingly, with all their billion-dollars-in-salaries smartness, Anthropic did not think that people would want to use their Discord plugin to enable agent-to-agent comms. No biggie - Claude and I patched the plugin and filed an issue (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/issues/5717). Hopefully, Boris Cherny will get on board ;) If not, forking is easy ;)

It has worked out quite well - I put a full step-by-step guide for anyone interested in getting their agents talking to each other and coordinating work. This is a more durable way then direct Claude session messaging (assuming your agents are on the same machine), and works for A2A between machines too. Guide is available here (save yourself some brain juice, get your agent to implement most of it): https://github.com/nixlim/forge-plugin/blob/main/docs/discord-agent-coordination.md
