Okay I finished watching the video. For people that didn't get a chance to go through this, check out the Internal Tooling section @ 39:25. Every single product I've ever built needed this. It uses @useinterval and is by far the best setup I've seen for it.
sst ion is now sst v3 it's for anything you build we used it to build @terminaldotshop and the code is now open source there is such much in there - containers, cloudflare, email, planetscale - i made a video digging through it in depth full video in reply

My team @meter is hiring a full stack engineer! (ofc you’ll be building apps with @useinterval 🙂‍↕️) If you’re interested in accelerating the future of networking, shoot me a DM and/or apply on our site. meter.com/open-roles?departm…

Had some fun over the weekend playing with @useinterval and Aider (aider.chat) to create full-stack interactive Node scripts with GPT-4 👀 Demo:

Back in June, we previewed interval.com - our approach to building complete tools w/ just backend code. It's for engineers who love writing code but hate building UIs. Since then, we’ve learned a ton and today I'm thrilled to announce **Interval 1.0** 🎉 🧵 1/ 11

I've got to enjoy building internal tools thanks to @useinterval . I extremely recommend them. What they do is like magic, and their support is top notch.

Question for people who deploy to serverless platforms (Vercel, AWS Lambda, GCP, etc.) Would you use an "Interval Deploy" service that can host/run/manage your Interval code? (This would be in addition to Vercel/AWS/GCP for your main app.)

✨ We've been shipping a ton of small/quality-of-life improvements over at @useinterval this week, here are a few of my favorites:

regret of the day: wish I've @useinterval-ized every product support operations sooner

@useinterval we do this. No magic, types just work.
Why do people create frameworks with "magic named exports" instead of just creating an API like this? It's not like tree-shaking is a real goal for them in this position, it's just as easy to transform at compile time, typings just work, api is clear... what's not to like?

@useinterval is probably the closest thing that exists to my ideal “backoffice as a service”. It’s a problem space I’ve been interested in a while, but I’ve never quite gelled with the visual tools like Retool that basically just feel like Microsoft Access or FileMaker.

I just refreshed my personal site with a 'bookmarks' section to share what I'm reading. For a quick CMS, I used @useinterval - and it was blissfully easy to set up a UI in just a few minutes. See how I did it: 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=K4pddUlQ…

A few weeks ago we added 2FA to @useinterval. Now in SDK v0.30, we're letting developers programmatically prompt for 2FA verification inside high stakes actions with a *single line of code*. (s/o @nurodev for the I/O method suggestion) (Video of this in action in the🧵)

Ok I want to try something: respond to this tweet with a little app, a utility, a tool you want in your life. I’ll choose a few to build for you, for free. Fine print: I’m gonna use Interval to build it.
📣 Request for examples 📣 Mini apps and bits of software you’ve built just for yourself and/or friends and family. Things that don’t scale, aren’t meant for others to use, & valuable just for your specific, snowflake use case. Ideally custom built, but could be jerry-rigged

Just stumbled across what I _believe_ is the first ever mention of Interval on a podcast (@DevtoolsFM) !! Honestly incredibly cool to hear it getting discussed on a podcast that I listen to 🥰 youtube.com/watch?v=1x2Q3C8B…

I have spent _way_ too much time as a software engineer writing tools to import and export data. One of my favorite things about Interval is that it makes writing tools like this trivial. So I wrote a little tutorial showing you how it can be done 🙂 interval.com/blog/account-mi…

Yep! But, with @useinterval: - I can write some extra code alongside my crappy webhook & license mgmt system. The UI will be using the same methods & abstractions - UI / admin code is checked to the same repo - Any changes to the system are always in-sync with UI
