jpnewtonQ: Where have you been all my life?
First of all, thank you for bringing this to Appsumo! I purchased CodeSmash about two weeks ago (full price) and I love it. CodeSmash has filled a gap in my workflow that used to consume waaay too much time. So far I have followed Mario's Youtube channel and deployed my own instance of 8n8 and FormBricks (opensource Qualtrics survey tool) on my AWS account. Each took me about an hour or so to deploy on AWS LightSail with Ubuntu, and I am a Linux dummy. This is key, because with AWS LightSail and a Linux server you don't have to pay licensing for Win Server, & it is yours!
Question, can you compile a list of things, programs, tools, ect. that is possible to build and deploy on AWS with CodeSmash.
There is a great Discord group, maybe we could vote on which deployment needs a Youtube video. (people share deployment tips and code there)

First of all, as you might know we have a Roadmap here https://codesmash.featurebase.app/ and you can request any new development right there. As far as deployment with CodeSmash goes, you can deploy around 40 existing prebuilt apps which CodeSmash supports.
Then, you can deploy pretty much any app which is open source and available somewhere online, like GitHub for example. CodeSmash has a ChatGPT integration which helps you deploy any such app you may need, like n8n or WordPress.
Furthermore if that is not enough, you can engage with custom development and build your own website by deploying custom Next.Js apps and use our No Code API Builder to create custom backend business logic for your apps. This is then automatically connected to your frontend and the database as well.
Wow!!! This is awesome news! Thanks for sharing the roadmap!
OK, all I need is an idea and CodeSmash to deploy the project to AWS!
Where can I find the list of the 40 existing prebuilt apps that I can deploy? In the CS dashboard? I am totally excited to check out the list and see which ones I need!
I noticed that ChatGPT is in dashboard, I’ll take a look next time I am working on an app!
Just go to the deploy page and make sure you select Lightsail deployment at the top. Then you will be shown several options and you will see the default app deployment is a regular Ubuntu VPS instance. Click on that and you will see all the supported apps you can deploy.
