A project builder.

I often have ideas, then spin cycles on starting the project, getting auth in place, making a marketing page, doing SEO, building and configuring pipelines for mobile app release, etc, etc.

My project builder just takes a name, a few configuration options (do you need payments? Analytics?) and spits out a templated build with Terraform that I can 1 (okay maybe 3) click deploy to GCP + App Stores.

The nice thing (I got help with Claude Code) is that now all my projects are in one place, I have a dashboard where I click in to and edit the code (with hot reloading - it deploys code-server and the applications in a small Kubernetes cluster, each project has its own pod) and when I am done editing I just click Deploy and it updates the "production" service in Cloud Run.

Not really interested in selling it as a service or anything (it's a bit too opinionated for that), but it's a very fun project to work on. I need to make Git + Versioning of the code work right now you only have a single copy of the code which isn't great!
