I’ll start by saying I’m glad I didn’t get this deal elsewhere, and feel for those that spent a lot more when they did. At the same time, I’m glad it’s here on Appsumo at a bit of a reduced rate. So far I really like it.
Code smash is just simple enough for even me to *sort of* understand - says a lot. It’s similar to Coolify, I think, but a bit easier for nobs. Having gone through the process of self hosting n8n on VPS (and hiring someone on Fiverr to help me), I would’ve liked having this platform. But there’s a lot of really popular self hosted apps preloaded bolt.diy, n8n, active pieces , and many more - you just click to deploy (from this platform to your VPS). I’m still trying to figure out how to get feee AWS/Lightsail.
Somehow I haven’t used the gpt integration yet. Looking forward to other VPS options!
If you’re a “vibe coder” this might be a nice way to deploy your stuff, which was/is a major point of intimidation for me. You don’t always have an IDE that has a “click to deploy” option.
