rcmd: I replaced SSH with a relay so my AI agents can manage my servers

No SSH keys, no open ports, no VPN. A WebSocket relay brokers connections between your machine and remote targets. Cron scheduling, port forwarding, team access with scoped sub-tokens, and agent-first self-discovery.

Login with intrane: I built an OIDC identity provider for agents in a language with no RSA

Your apps can now offer 'Login with intrane' instead of 'Login with Google'. machin-idp is a standards OIDC identity provider whose users can be humans or agents, whose login works with no browser, and whose id_tokens are signed with Ed25519 — because the language it's written in has no RSA. Here's how, and why that constraint turned out fine.

Your agent can call any API. It can't be called back. So I built the other half.

Agents can call any API — that's the easy half. Being called back is the hard half, because a process running in a terminal or a CI job has no public URL. relais is the missing inbound address: a URL that catches any HTTP request, and a long-poll your agent can curl and block on until the thing arrives. Here's the whole thing catching a real GitHub webhook.

I told the x402 Foundation I'd build the fiat leg. It shipped the same day.

The x402 Foundation just moved under the Linux Foundation with Stripe, Visa and Mastercard on board — HTTP 402 is becoming the payment layer of the agent web. I commented on their fiat-credit draft saying my rail would implement the wire format once it stabilized. Then I shipped it the same day. Here's the live facilitator, in two curls.

Claude Artifacts, Unbundled: A Live URL for Every Agent's HTML

Terminal agents generate great HTML — dashboards, reports, mockups — and have nowhere to put it. hart turns a self-contained file into a live, versioned, sandboxed URL in one CLI call. Open-source, self-hosted, one static binary.

Tailwind Without Node: 172 kB, 16 ms, and a Way to Prove It

My agent-first design system compiles its stylesheet in 16 ms from a 172 kB binary — no Node. The trick isn't the rewrite: it's differential-testing every emitted rule against the real tailwindcss binary, so “100% compatible” is a green check, not a claim.

The CRM That Maintains Itself

Every CRM dies of stale data because humans won't do data entry. So I built the one you never open — an agent runs it, cold-mail and cold-calls send themselves, replies and call outcomes log themselves. One binary, open source, hosted from €19/mo.

An AI Agent Audits Your LinkedIn Profile — In Public

A free tool: paste your LinkedIn URL and an autonomous agent audits your profile in public — as a GitHub issue, a pull request, and a shareable report. It's a live demo of three things I've been building: mago (agents that run companies), hart (self-hosted artifacts), and machin (one binary, no Node).

grepapi — The Lead Engine That Found Its Own Customers

I built an affordable, agent-first alternative to SerpApi — a GTM warm-lead engine that returns real companies with phone numbers and warm LinkedIn leads, each with a brief your own LLM turns into outreach. Then I pointed it at its own market, and it found its first customers.
