Terminalwire is now open source! I finally had time to think through the license and landed on AGPL.

More in the article about "why", "why now", and a tour of the source code on Github.

Just dropped the demo for the 2-step onboarding developer experience! ✌️

The idea is to replace tedious “to get starting click X, find Y, click on Z…” GUI instructions with “copy and paste these two commands in your CLI to get started”

I think my next @terminalwire.com demo is going to show how Rails teams can move their deployment CLI from the `:org/cli` repo that runs on each dev workstation to a single server.

This solves a lot of SOC2, HIPPA, ISO27001 control & audit issues that these teams face.

Anybody have this problem?

Just published the 3rd and final article about how I picked the "wrong tool" for the job by choosing Ruby & Tebako for installed software. 🤣

It's a bit more philosophical, but I hope it encourages people to try bad ideas and discover new solutions to problems. 🤠

Published how @terminalwire.com uses Tebako to distribute the `terminalwire-exec` thin client to users on macOS and Linux who don’t have Ruby installed on their machines.

Overall I’m really happy with it, but there’s a few gotchyas worth knowing about.

Made this demo for an update I pushed to @terminalwire.com that lets you open pages to web apps from the command-line so that it works with all the route helpers from `bin/rails routes`.

Useful if you have a CLI that needs to auth via SSO's like Google, Okta, etc.

Pretty stoked to deliver a cross-platform installer for @terminalwire.com that looks like this.

I'll hook up sub-domains to install the Terminalwire run-time & 3rd party app so people can install `tinyzap` via `curl -s tinyzap.terminalwire.sh | bash`

One command to ship your CLI to the world.

🌎😎🙌

The reason behind all of this is so the Terminalwire client can be installed without Ruby. It will be a self-contained binary that you can install on macOS, Linux, and Windows (probably via the Linux subsystem at first).

You can thank @usetrmnl.com beta testers for bumping up the priority on this.

Nothing beats building software that gives other devs superpowers—@usetrmnl.com is using @terminalwire.com for their CLI and was able to implement and ship 2-factor auth in under 10 minutes!

All they did was add a few LOC to the CLI, deployed it to their server. 😎

Terminalwire is like Hotwire for command-line apps—ship one for your SaaS 10-100x faster without building an API or distributing binaries.

Server & client are built with Ruby, with plans to support other runtimes.

My creator is documenting me 🤔

This video is about how payments are collected and processed with Stripe in Terminalwire using NoCheckout.

You'll also see a lot of Phlex components up in that biz.

Howdy! 👋
