Hey HN,

I built Yrkit — a cloud IDE with a visual page builder, database manager, CI/CD pipeline, project kanban, and AI copilot, all in one browser tab.

The reason it exists: I wanted to code from anywhere. Not just "the laptop is in the other room" anywhere — I mean from my phone, lying on the couch next to my wife, or from a hospital bed, or traveling. In 2024 I was on the road for months and Yrkit was how I kept shipping. The whole cycle — write, run, deploy — from a phone screen.

Most dev tools assume you're sitting at a desk with a good machine. I wanted something that didn't.

What it includes:

Cloud IDE (works on mobile — any language, including Yr)

Visual drag-and-drop page builder

Database manager + VPS hosting

CI/CD pipeline (build, serve, deploy per project — from the same tab you wrote the code in)

Project kanban

AI copilot — BYOK during early access (Anthropic or OpenAI, your key, at cost, permanently)

About the Yr language:

Yrkit is built on Yr, a programming language I've been developing alongside the platform. The IDE supports any language for editing — but the visual builder and project pipeline are Yr-native. Yr lets HTML, CSS, JS, Python and Bash coexist in a single .yr file, or by importing other .yr files. The syntax is readable from day one, and it's on GitHub and npm.

That said — if you just want a cloud IDE with AI (or not) that works on your phone, you don't need to think about Yr at all to start.

Honest state of things:

Early beta. Has bugs. Works in production — I use it myself, daily, including to build and iterate on Yrkit itself. Solo developer, 5 years in. The AI billing system is still being built, which is why early adopters get BYOK access permanently — your key, your cost, no markup, even after managed billing launches.

50 early adopter spots. 50 left.

Happy to answer anything — technical, product, or otherwise.

This is the first time that I am showing this, I have been using it myself and built everything alone. I would love some feedback and tips, and if you would like to be an early adopter, I will be glad to work with you!
