> push to a VPS, secure, harden, optimize
In my opinion this is the part that's holding back _a lot_ more people from publishing. It's a barrier that's surely about to fall. Still interested what steps you took (and manually, or Claude did it all?)
I didn’t touch anything manually I only talked to Claude the whole project, except for YouTube API key, domain, its DNS record and VPS node boot.
Curious about the hardening and optimizing - how much extra prompting is spent to ensure a ‘clean’ software supply chain for this, versus having Claude at its own discretion use third-party packages/libraries/etc (or not)?
Sometimes I say something like "check recent cyber stuff" and it dispatches a few subagents and does the thing.

would love to see a write up on this too. my own tech experience has been all back end stuff and doing everything myself, so tying into "the way things are done online" aint so easy. and my patience for reading 3-4 books on it is close to zero.
I’ll add a bit more to the post when I get back from trick or treating
Thanks Andrej, look forward to it.
> Buy a VPS, publish to it, buy a domain and link it, then keep paying for both in perpetuity.
I've always been put off by the continuing financial obligations personally. Like I'll invest a considerable amount for one time things easily, but year after year with constantly increasing costs? No fuckin way.
I rented a hetzner server years ago and have steadily grown into it. No increasing costs so far.
