I launched quickish.website last week and have been adding more and more as I use it every day for my day job. I got a lot of really positive feedback in other places and a number of people signed up. With that said, there was still a lot of stuff I want to add and I can see a lot of possibilities with this.

TLDR on Quickish: A super easy to use site hosting service inspired by Shopify's internal Quick service. You can host a React app or a simple HTML page, generated from AI or written by hand. It's free to use for a single live site and has some cool workspace oriented features.

One of the very first things I wanted to add was a replacement for ngrok that was a little smarter and could pair well with AI agents (not just code ones, but Co-Work, ChatGPT, etc). This post is to announce Step (version?) 1 of it!

`quickish --localish` and `quickish dev`.

- Localish is a local dev proxy that detects what services your project runs and starts a web reachable proxy for it. It also has built in screenshot support so your CLI agent doesn't have to waste tool calls on playwright. It publishes so only you and your agent can see it but can be opened up by sharing to more people (not made public yet) within your org on workspace accounts or individually on personal accounts.

- dev is a local running quick.* tool stack so you or your agents can also build against that without needing to make external calls. One of the neat things about Quickish is that it has built-in tools for devs to use to make fun apps / sites (quick.db, quick.sql, realtime, etc), `quickish dev` brings that all up locally.

Just as before, to get a things running it's a simple npm package and a login with Google: `npm i -g quickish && quickish --localish` and boom, there you go, your local dev is live.

Smart edge caching and other purpose built features are in the pipeline already.

Hope it's as useful to others as it has been to me!
