The Builder · intent in, ownership out
Base44, Lovable, Bolt, v0 and Replit proved a paragraph can become software. Then it lives in their cloud, the AI bills by the token, and “Deploy” ships your work to a landlord.
Apps run on the vendor's hosting. The AI is metered — $100–300/mo for heavy builders. Your data sits in their multi-tenant database, and leaving often means leaving the work behind.
Every app, database and 3D game deploys as a server you host. The agent runs on your hardware, unmetered. The app is a front end onto your backend — export, fork, or keep it forever.
Say what you need. The agent scaffolds screens, widgets, and a schema.
It provisions a Ledger Server and wires each widget to a table — a real backend on your box.
Publish to your host with TLS. The app, its database and its world are yours to keep.
