Using Kamal 2 to deploy a brand-new Rails 8 application first to the same shared box where we put our Go Hello World app, then moving it onto a 3-server Hetzner deployment behind Cloudflare. All in 20 minutes. Enjoy!

This is really powerful! It replaces both the docker-compose mess, and the kubernetes complexity, all into one simple straightforward app to get started quickly and efficiently at low cost, .i.e. infra made simple 🙏🙏

This video gives me the same feeling I had when I first watched your 'How to build a blog in 15 minutes with Rails' video—impressive! But now, you've created and deployed a new app in under 11 minutes. Super impressive! 💛

this is like 500€/mo on the "good DX" services... yeah the developer experience of blowing through your funds as fast as possible 🙏🏻

Please make a webgui around this for newbs and juniors. With great UX you can kill Vercel. Make it run on Linux and Mac (so I can host my web app on my Mac Mini or a VPS somewhere). I’d pay $20 month to escape Vercel, but it has to be as easy as Vercel.

I'd love to see an example of deploying multiple site hosted from the same machine. If you're an indiehacker, you've probably got a bunch of sites and none of them need more than one or even all of one server.

A little off topic but does anyone know what this one line box that keeps popping up in @dhh's nvim setup?

You should post your nvim config @dhh

Fantastic demo! I loved it. You’ve got a great teaching style.

I found out today by accident, that you can use C (shift c) instead of c + $ to replace to the end of the line. That's way easier for me than hitting the $ key.
