Tinykit
Open-source self-hosted platform for vibe-coding a hundred small apps onto one PocketBase server

tinykit.studioAbout Tinykit
Tinykit is an open-source, self-hosted personal app platform: a single server that can host a hundred small apps you either vibe-code with an agent or hand-write yourself, then tweak visually. Each app is a single Svelte file with a built-in code editor, and apps build to static HTML so pages load near-instantly. The backend is PocketBase, so realtime JSON collections, built-in image and asset storage, and user data all live on your own server rather than a vendor's. The AI is present but bounded — you prompt the agent, it writes, creates and integrates, and then, in the project's own words, gets out of your hair; you bring your own LLM key for Claude, GPT or Gemini and see the token cost of each prompt in real dollars. Because agent edits are risky, every change takes a snapshot, so time travel and undo are always available. Around that sit a visual design-system editor for CSS variables, content fields for editing copy without touching code, zero-config bare imports that resolve without npm install, starter kits such as launchkit for landing pages and waitlists, a dozen-plus themes, and mobile-optimised prompting so you can deploy from a phone. Auth, a community app showcase, in-app AI features and a built-in backend with REST endpoints, cron jobs and background queues are on the published roadmap.
