Foundation Work

One of the challenges I’ve encountered while attempting to stand up so many different prototypes over the years, is managing their service dependency accounts.

I’ve built games that needed unity, websites that ran on vercel, and cloud-native applications that used everything from cloudflare and AWS. When you factor in even basic foundational elements like version control and secrets management, you wind up with a lot of different accounts managing a lot of different services.

At first, I kept track out these concerns by bundling them all under various aliases within my personal domain at andrewdunne.com.

Today, I discovered ProtonMail offers fantastic pricing for users who have many custom domains - exactly my use case. I spent the day spinning up Codex Computer Control on my machine and had it migrate all my domains over to Route 53 / setup MX/TXT/DKIM records for each domain. Arkship is managed by Cloudflare, but Codex handled that smoothly as well.

That was the main thing to celebrate! Had a lengthy call going over our v1 spec for the newest project: Sift, and with everything in order I think we will make very quick progress to get that out to our first (small) batch of users.

Got a new weekend project in the works with my wife as well that I think will be fun, and got to try out my new massive revamp (courtesy of Fable’s short-lifespan) to my Agent Stack (aplty-named Ark-Agents). So far so good, but we will see more in the coming days.

That’s all for today!
