What I actually use to ship
Every tool here is something I pay for and use every day. No fluff, no “sponsored” pretending — where there's a referral link, it's tagged. If you sign up through one, you often get a credit too.
Railway
Every QuadsLab app — including this site — runs on Railway. One dashboard for the app, Postgres, cron, and workers. Push to git, get a URL.
Railway
referral$20 creditI've tried every PaaS. Railway is the one I stopped switching off. Deploy from a repo, attach Postgres in one click, schedule cron, run background workers, watch logs in real time — all in the same project. The pricing is usage-based and predictable.
Free $20 credit when you sign up through my link. That's usually enough to host a small app for a couple of months while you decide if it's for you. Whether you use my link or someone else's, sign up with a referral somewhere — credits are credits.
How I write code
The AI tools I actually leave running all day — not the demo-ware.
Claude Code
AI CodingMy primary coding agent. Understands the whole codebase, writes production code, and refactors without flinching.
QuadFlow
EditorMy custom multi-agent IDE. Tiled terminals, built-in project tools, MCP server, 39+ slash commands. Pairs perfectly with Claude Code.
Get Abe
Voice AIHotkey-triggered voice-to-text anywhere. Speak naturally, watch words appear. Powered by OpenAI Whisper.
What this site is built on
Boring on purpose. Boring is fast and shippable.
Next.js
FrameworkApp Router, server components, and edge-friendly defaults. The whole site runs on it.
Postgres on Railway
DatabaseFully managed Postgres alongside the app — same dashboard, same project, zero glue. Backups and migrations are one click.
Prisma
ORMTyped schema, generated client, painless migrations. Plays nicely with the Next.js server-side stack.
