uarpie

Getting started

Your first deploy, the link, and how to keep the app.

1. Ask your AI to put the app online

If your AI is connected, say:

Put this app online with uarpie and give me the link.

If you use a terminal, run this in the app's folder instead:

npx uarpie

There is nothing to install and no account to create first. Node.js is the only requirement, and any computer that can run an AI coding tool already has it.

2. Open the link

The command ends with a link like https://quiet-harbor-4471.uarpie.app/#k=.... Open it on the device you want to use the app from.

The first device to open the link becomes the one that can use the app. Anyone else who opens the same link sees "already in use on another device". The link stops working after 60 minutes; if you miss it, ask your AI to run deploy again and you get a fresh one.

3. Keep the app

The first time you open your app you are offered Keep this app. Enter your email and open the link we send you. That does three things:

  • Creates your account, or signs you into the one you already have.
  • Gives your app a proper name you choose, instead of the random one.
  • Unlocks the dashboard: inviting people, spending limit, versions, your own domain.

Until you keep it, the app disappears after 7 days. Nothing else is lost: ask your AI to deploy again and it comes back.

4. Change something

Ask your AI for the change, then say "deploy" again. Each deploy is a new version; the previous one is kept, and you can go back to it in one click from Versions in the dashboard.

What the platform decided for you

The command looked at the code and worked out the framework, the database, which settings the app needs, which scheduled jobs it has and whether it stores files. It wrote all of that into a file called deploy.json in the app's folder. You never need to open it, but your AI can, if it needs to change a decision. See deploy.json.
