Hello Fireproof folks 👋 It’s been a minute! Over the last year we’ve been continuing work on Fireproof while also exploring a project that grew naturally out of it: @vibes.diy Both are open source, and both share the same idea: build *with* the web, not against it.

“That’s cool stuff! That’s the way it’s gotta be. I’m vibing. I’m VIBING.” Find out what @j-chris.bsky.social said to get Jerod and Adam of @changelog.com so stoked about vibe coding apps in this interview: youtu.be/U_e1SIUaHe0?... #VibeWithFriends

I recently started teaching myself computer programming and software engineering from home. I have been vibecoding and I won a competition for ATL Tech Week! I’m super excited about all my progress and I can’t wait to meet everybody there 🎉🤩💝 @renderatl.com @fireproof.storage

Vibes DIY is running @anthropic.com Claude Opus 4 now, much faster outputs and more features in less code. vibes.diy

A little bit about what we’ve been up to lately… fireproof.storage/posts/introd...

For builders vibes.diy

Fireproof 0.20 dropped yesterday! 🥳 The 0.20 series unlocks attachable storage and remote cloud sync. Now you can connect to a greater variety of backends. 🔥

I took my @fireproof.storage hat to Limp Bizkit concert and blended in just fine Am I trying to make a point? 🫣

When building an app using Fireproof JUST WORKS. 😱

Blessing Chiwetelu vibe coded an offline word editor using Fireproof and ChatGPT. Check it out! youtu.be/_209dxRWFEA

Last night’s Sync SF event hosted by @yonz.bsky.social and James Arthur brought together some of the best minds working on putting data in the hands of users. “Local First is a very good example of ‘good taste.’” - Natalie Vais, Spark Capitol.

When your frontend testing tools start to go cyberpunk.

There are 140 people 👀 registered to Sync SF, happening this coming Monday at 6pm at Three Embarcadero in San Francisco. Get your name on the waitlist, if you haven't already! lu.ma/sync-sf?tk=o...

“Here is the cool part - I built Taskify in just 24 hours! Can you imagine? These tools made development fast, efficient, and fun.” - James Harrison, maker of a personal task management app using React, Radix UX, @TailwindCSS.com, and Fireproof.

When looking at how to solve your backend woes while making apps with AI tools, “Fireproof should be your first choice because it’s very, very, easy to use. I built this application within 2 hours just vibe coding.” - JohnPaul, who built an inventory keeper app.

Vibe coding lets you “embrace exponentials” in your development process, focusing solely on your creative vision. But nothing kills the vibe like a cumbersome backend.

At this event we'll demo how easy it is to vibe code an app in minutes. See you in a week, SF! #LocalFirst #VibeCoding #SyncSF

Paste use-fireproof.com/llms.txt text anywhere to simplify development. See the quote for a V0 template that's ready to go.

Build working apps in one-shot, with any model: fireproof.storage/posts/llms.t...

Join us at tomorrow's virtual Fireside Chat at 9am PST. We have a handful of demos lined up and some exciting things to share including new releases, #llmstxt, and a growing team!

So easy even AI can use it.

TIL I learned Claude has a publish feature. Here's a summary of the Fireproof architecture documentation: claude.site/artifacts/e0...

Our first Fireside Chat of the year is this Thursday at 9am PST! JeanPaul, a developer from Nigeria, will join us to showcase his new Fireproof app. RSVP to meet him and our engineering team. Got an app to showcase? We'd love to see it! lu.ma/gbo7fxlw

Good things brewing with our friends @pilliin.bsky.social and @fforres.bsky.social.

“Decentralized storage shouldn’t mean sacrificing simplicity. Fireproof is proving you can have both.” - The Hamburger Business Review (Read the full post here www.hamburgerbusinessreview.com/p/fireproof)

Developer @selem.bsky.social made QuickCheck to solve his own frustrations with paying snail mail bills, but as it turns out he wasn't the only one fed up with writing expensive checks! Learn more about his app - fireproof.storage/posts/quickc...

Hot off the grill! Fireproof is cooking up secure storage solutions that even The Hamburger Business Review couldn’t resist. 🍔 Check out how we’re reshaping secure storage, one byte at a time: www.hamburgerbusinessreview.com/p/fireproof

Here’s the same post in a gist so it’s easy to copy and paste. I’m curious if it works for anybody else? It should. No extra software needed if you have Claude Desktop and Nods.js. gist.github.com/jimpick/83df...

The latest Model Context Protocol server preview: github.com/fireproof-st... thx @selem.bsky.social

It's official! Fireproof is now a @netlify.com Extension along with other databases including @couchbase.bsky.social, @mongodb.bsky.social, and Fauna. www.netlify.com/integrations...

Dhruv Soni joined Fireproof as an intern while living in India. He was one of the very first engineers & helped us immensely with our Chrome extension and AWS connector. He is now getting his Master’s degree at the NCSU in Computer Science. This week he’s visiting @j-chris.bsky.social in Oregon!

If you could build any app for your community, what would it be?

If you are using Fireproof, we genuinely want to hear from you. Please fill out this brief survey, and we'll brave the post office this week to mail you out a Fireproof shirt as "Thank You!" forms.gle/e72HVT282F6W...

Command-line sync #CLI developer preview from @selem.bsky.social

Community member @jimpick.com integrated the @anthropic.com Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Fireproof to build an interactive, AI-agent driven to-do list that syncs anywhere in minutes!

Early preview of the Fireproof #mcp model context protocol integration with @anthropic.com Claude: github.com/jimpick/mcp-... thanks @jimpick.com !

First day of our company gathering rocked!!

Fireproof engineer, Selem Delul, showing us QuickCheck, an app he created months ago to solve the problem he was having to print checks easily and affordably at home. It uses Fireproof and already has 100 paid users!!

Our first in person team meeting! We’ve come from Germany, Florida, DC, Oregon, and Virginia to meet for three days. 🔥

We’re about to ride! If you miss us at the park you can find us at 97 Estoria at ~4pm.

Hey, Atlanta! People are rolling in to the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark. Ride meets at 1:30, rolls at 2! Derek brought donuts!! #RIDEATL #ATLBIKES

Calling all Atlanta cyclists, synth hackers, and app devs! Fireproof is collaborating with @netlify.com, @renderatl.com and local bike ride leader, Benjamin Kasavan, on a synth party bike ride and a happy hour after this Sunday.

Mykle Hansen, the organizer of the Bleeps & Bloops in Portland, is joining this weeks’ Fireside Chat to demo Bloopernet, the drum machine app he created so people can collaborate on music in real time using their mobile devices to sync their drum machine beats.

I love being able to create micro apps. I hosted a white elephant party & instead of doing the typical thing and have people pull a number out of a hat, I used Bolt and whipped up a lil app which I projected on the TV in our room and randomized the next person to pick a gift! bolt.new/~/sb1-hjoqtk

Our monthly Fireside Chats are open to anyone who would like to learn more about Fireproof or share what they've been working on. This month Marty Schoch, formerly of Couchbase, will demo a Fireproof app he's been working on.

As object storage like S3 becomes faster and includes features like conditional writes, more and more database engines will be utilizing it. blog.colinbreck.com/object-stora...

Great questions. Fireproof is primarily an embedded database, you can read about the storage model here: fireproof.storage/posts/remote...
