I use railway, that is very convenient. I was on a VPS before but too many things to handle

Railway

Railway is an infrastructure platform where you can provision infrastructure, develop with that infrastructure locally, and then deploy to the cloud.

Thanks you for trying!
I'm sorry, I might have reached a rate-limit with reddit. I investigated and fixed and optimized the calls I make.
Everything should be working perfectly! 🫶

Ah I see so you still use localhost for your the “core” development

Florent #buildinpublic @fberrez.bsky.social · 23h

Interesting, do you deploy in a staging environment and then test from there? Is it not too expensive?

Do you use Xcode to code in Swift or another ide + simulator?

Just found your game, very cool! Keep going that’s awesome

Auto: cursor chooses the best model depending on the prompt but of course they don’t choose the most expensive (and better) ones

What’s the ICE method?
