You built something with AI. Now what?
EZConfig is a catalog of deployment vehicles for vibe coders — people who build tools with AI but don't have a background in software engineering. It answers the question that comes after "it works on my laptop": how do I get this to other people?
120+ vehicles. 12 categories. Plain English. Each one comes with a copy-paste prompt you can drop into whatever AI tool you're already using.
Production costs have dropped to near zero. Domain experts — lawyers, doctors, teachers, coaches — can now build working tools with AI. But there's a gap between "I built a thing" and "other people can use it." The configuration and deployment layer is the biggest hurdle, and most people don't even know what options exist.
Every vehicle I discovered came from a coworker who happened to mention it. "Just deploy to GitHub Pages." "Try a Neon database with Vercel." "You know you can make that a menubar app, right?" Each time, a door I didn't know existed opened up.
Not everyone has that coworker. EZConfig is the coworker.
The catalog is organized by what you're trying to accomplish, not by technology name:
- I built a website and want to share it — GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, Surge, and more
- I need a real backend / database — Vercel + Neon, Supabase, Railway, PocketBase, Firebase
- I want a desktop app — Electron, Tauri, macOS menubar apps, Automator apps
- I want it on my phone — PWAs, Expo, Capacitor, iOS Shortcuts, Scriptable
- I want to automate something — GitHub Actions, cron jobs, Zapier, Make, LaunchAgents
- I want to extend my browser — Chrome extensions, bookmarklets, userscripts, side panels
- I want to extend a tool I already use — MCP servers, Raycast, Alfred, Obsidian plugins, Stream Deck
- I want a tool inside the apps I use for work — Word/Excel/Outlook add-ins, Teams apps, Google Workspace add-ons, Power Automate, Salesforce, Jira
- I want to communicate through a bot — Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, email, SMS
- I want to distribute a CLI tool — NPM, PyPI, Homebrew, GitHub Releases
- I want to share data or content — RSS feeds, GitHub dashboards, Datasette, Observable
- I want something weird / creative / delightful — URL-encoded apps, QR code tools, screensavers, Apple Watch, voice assistants, Figma plugins
Each vehicle includes a plain-English description, cost (most are free), complexity rating, and a generic prompt template you can paste into any AI tool to get started.
- Visit the site
- Take the 3-question "Find Your Vehicle" quiz — or browse the full catalog
- Pick a vehicle
- Copy the prompt template
- Paste it into your AI tool (Copilot CLI, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, whatever you use)
- Follow along as it walks you through deployment
