Built the world's simplest code runner in 5 mins with Sprites.
This is doubly cool. First off, how it works:
User writes some scary JavaScript, which then gets run in a new Sprite. Sprites are literally built for running random code, so bring on the footguns.

Sprites make it easy to connect stuff on the internet.
Take Slack bots: easy to build, annoying to hook up locally and test.
Sprites are first-class citizens of the internet, so you can just build your bot on one, get a public URL, and boom: it's plug-n-play ready.

Is that a TUI for visualizing your sprites MADE IN A SPRITE? Yes, yes it is.
It lets you see all the sprites in your org, which ones are running, and organize them to get a better sense of which sprites work together.

Running Claude inside a Sprite is cool and all, but so is, you know, *using an IDE*. So we made a VS Code extension for Sprites! Checkout the demo:

We made "ball-point disposable computers" by committing three heresies: Killing user container images, running orchestration inside the VM, and backing disks with S3. The result? Instant boot, auto-sleep, and zero dockerfile misery. Machines are for servers; Sprites are for everything else.

🤖 We made a thing that handles real AI workflows called Sprites. Watch the video where Claude builds features, breaks things, fixes modals, adds color-coded graphs, and switches themes. All while the developer, @anniesexton.com does her makeup.

We made a thing called Sprites that lets you run AI code safely. Watch Chris create sandboxes in seconds, let agents install packages freely, then restore to checkpoints when things go sideways.

🚀 Just dropped: Litestream VFS. Query SQLite databases directly from S3 with zero download penalty. It uses HTTP range headers for lazy fetching and LTX for compaction, enabling instant startup even for large databases.

🗄️ From the Archives: Fly with Alpine! Smaller images, faster starts, leaner runtime. Just switch your `FROM` lines & swap `apt` for `apk`. Check out our blog post on it from 2023 for some tips:

🤖 You should write an Agent. Seriously. it's easier than you think! LLM API calls + context management + tools = surprisingly powerful. The field is wide open with unsolved engineering problems and fast iteration cycles. whether you love or hate the hype, understanding this matters.
