Working with @OpenRouterAI has been a joy. Happy they agree and we’re now an official partner!
Had a great time on @thoughtbot's AI in Focus! We built a markdown editor in @quests_dev that lets you ask your notes questions using an LLM. Super fun. Thanks @cpytel for having me. Watch the recording here: youtube.com/watch?v=zEZYBp…
One of the most exciting things about AI is the creative exploration it enables, especially in kids. My son (9) was tinkering with Quests last night and wanted to make a platformer game where a character jumps from block to block over lava. Just watching him dictate his ideas,…

We build Quests specifically for @OpenRouterAI. 1. Download @quests_dev 2. Add your OpenRouter API key 3. Build apps on locally with any model 4. There is no step 4
OK, today is the day, the biggest launch of my life. @quests_dev, the open-source app builder. - Apps run locally - Agent runs locally - BYOK for all the major providers - No accounts - Zero dependencies
The open-source app builder has arrived. - Apps are built and run on your computer - Desktop app with no dependencies - Use all the major AI provider with your own keys - Built on open-source like oRPC, TanStack, Vite, Hono, and XState Get it now 👇

Finally get to talk about the most meaningful software project I've had the privilege to work on in my career! @postlight partnered w/ @MTA to build a new communications platform to centralize, modernize & target rider messaging postlight.com/work/mta
Black Lives Matter. Postlight is committed to action. Here is our plan. postlight.com/trackchanges/b…
Something I've always admired about @PostlightStudio engineering: A voracious appetite for the new tempered by measured pragmatism about when to adopt it - @aaronortbals explains postlight.com/trackchanges/s…
