   My wife and I have a mobile group/shared bot system where we can make mini apps and collab.

   Anything from baby stuff, groceries, shopping, planning, wine tracker app, simple/fun/useful data things, etc…

   We have Tailscale on our phones and can instantly and privately see without deployment or anything crazy via our secure VPN.

   Think shared Claude Artifacts that don’t live @ Anthropic.

   Tried to first do this with Cloudflare Tunnels (because I love Cloudflare), but between the broken dashboard side of Zero Trust and nightmare of Warp… it was basically impossible to setup. I guess that’s all super enterprise, which seems to be very anti-Cloudflare philosophically to not be able to self do things.

   Will check out Quick Tunnels but I think it’s missing the bigger integration offerings Tailscale has/does still.

      Interested in the the bot system and how your self publishing app artifacts that you've got running. Care to share more?

         I run something similar, and in my system an app artifact is typically just a rich react component in a React Native client. They usually start as prototypes in chat, similar to what the labs provide in their native apps. If I or someone else in my user group wants more depth than a chat widget, then the artifacts can grow into a “workspace”. Oddly enough my richest workspaces have most been for entertainment. DnD, MtG deck building, HN comment thread parsing. And system management. Intrusion detection, feature life cycle/LLM handoff management, call telemetry. I do have a workspace for public county permit lookup which has been handy too. Reach out and I can share more.
