Launch notes from the Launchpad crew: product updates, how we build, and shipping internal tools fast.
- Introducing Launchpad
Managed servers, a managed database and a Claude Code connector, on one flat plan. Here's what Launchpad is, who it's for, and why we built it. - What can I actually build with Claude Code? Ideas for your first app
You've heard Claude Code can build software from a description. Here's what that means in practice, what a first app looks like, and how to start without knowing anything technical. - Why we built Launchpad for Claude Code
AI coding tools changed what one person can build in an afternoon. They didn't change how long it takes to put it somewhere real. That gap is the whole reason Launchpad exists. - It works on my laptop. Now what?
You built an app with Claude and it runs on your machine. Here's what "live" actually needs, why it's normally hard, and how Launchpad makes it one sentence. - Internal tools shouldn't take a quarter
Most internal tools never get built, not because they're hard, but because the path to "live" is long enough that nobody starts. Here's how small teams ship them in days instead. - Anatomy of a launch: what happens when you press the button
A friendly technical tour of a Launchpad launch, from the moment Claude asks for a server to the moment your app answers at its own address.
