I mentioned in my last post that I was looking to go out on my own and start developing apps and solutions for local businesses.... This week I launched https://www.wertzai.com as a landing page for my new venture!
The site is pretty much 100% AI generated, I did the all the development in Cursor. I even made a custom bundler script so all the HTML/CSS/JavaScript is contained in one minified file. Not that it really matters but I appreciate the efficiency of it. It only took me about 2 days to get it to the point where I was ready to deploy. Previously I probably would have messed around for a week writing all the code by hand in vim.
I'm hosting the page on the same thin client machine that hosts this blog. Getting this all configured made me realize how easy it would be to host similar sites for people using cloud servers. Home hosting is nice but if the power goes out at my house then all my sites go down. I might end up moving the hosting eventually.
Ive been getting deep into using language models/AI for various tasks... It's pretty wild what you can do now with AI agents. I started using Cursor and it's amazing how fast you can develop things with it. Coding tasks that would have taken days beforehand now just take a few minutes.
Something I've started working on is a new to-do list app for myself and possibly others. It uses a C++ backend along with a Preact based frontend. Most of the code is AI generated based on my general architecture. I've been committing code at my public git repo here.
With AI being the force multiplier that it is, I am looking to start developing AI and robotic process automation solutions for those who are looking to save time with whatever tedious computer tasks they may have. More on that soon...
Something that I've wanted to do for a while now is self host my code projects and have them visible through a GitHub-like interface. I used this guide to set up the basic Git HTTP interface along with the GitWeb script for displaying the repos in a browser. You can view my projects at: http://ericdwertz.com/git
I hacked around with GitWeb's default stylesheet so that it would match the styling of the rest of this site. I also added a snippet of code I found here that displays README.md files when viewing a repo.
Right now I have the code that controls the fans on my thin-client server (the machine that served you this page) uploaded. I also moved over all the old repos I had hosted on GitHub.
