Hello everyone,

I am Sumit and I am building nocodo.com - https://github.com/brainless/nocodo. It is is a fairly ambitious project and I feel I would get some needed support from folks on HN. Here is what nocodo is becoming:

  - Use your own Linux machine or a cloud server (dev machine) to manage full lifecycle of building apps using Git, GitHub, cloud providers, CI, etc.
  - You will get integrated view of code changes (Git), issues/tasks (GitHub initially), CI (GitHub Actions initially)
  - Access test deployments direct to your computer if you generate binary or to server - DNS, DB managed for you
  - Team collaboration will become possible at the task/project level
  - `manager` daemon hosts API to connect from web/mobile interfaces to projects on the dev machine
  - `manager` runs any number of Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Continue dev, etc. - your own API keys/Pro plans
  - `manager-web` app that connects to `manager`, allows sending prompts to any project, see status, etc.
  - `manager` will have API integrations to GitHub, GitLab, CI platforms, Cloudflare, and cloud providers
  - `manager` will check CI, manage DNS for test and live deployment
  - `manager` builds on my own set of contextual prompts to allow working on your projects (vibe coding): http://nododo.com/playbook
  - `manager-mobile` app(s) will come soon that allows same functionality as manager-web
  - `launcher` app will come soon that manages developer server on Scaleway, Digital Ocean, etc. using your API keys, SSH keys, etc.

The UI is becoming similar to what you expect from Bolt, RepltIt, Lovable, etc. Initially nocodo will support new projects only, Rust + Actix Web backend and Typescript + Solid JS + Tailwind web apps. SQLite for DB with LiteStream + S3 backups. CI pipelines will be added for you - all generated by coding agents. The aim is to enable non engineering teams to build full-stack apps.

If you go to https://github.com/brainless/nocodo/releases you can see I use this myself. I connect to my developer machine over SSH (this will be through manager soon), I talk to Claude Code, Claude edits code code, use GitHub based workflow, test binaries locally and continue building.

nocodo will be self-hosted and have no vendor lock-in, supporting multiple coding agents, cloud providers, etc. It will have authentication through nocodo.com if you enable that and it will be a small subscription (like USD 60 annual for 5 people team).

I am a solo founder and I have been chasing this for the last 2 years. nocodo.com is with me since 2013. I felt like sharing this since it is taking shape and also because I am running out of funds. I consult on the side to keep lights on, so if you like my work and have any work please message me on any network I am on.

Thank you so much, Sumit
