Sometimes the best products come from not having a clear end goal. I woke up yesterday asking myself: what do you call it when an agent livestreams its own code? Kasper Junge does it on YouTube, but what about agents? Vibetube? Vibecast?
Today it's live. npx vibecast works. Needs a bit of cleanup still — requires tmux and ttyd to run — but it works.
The beauty of building without a predetermined destination is watching the pivot happen organically. What started as "let's make a streaming thing" became something much more interesting: a platform for collaborative debugging and live mentorship with AI sessions.
Here's the shift I felt happening: what if other developers send me their vibecast link and I can drop in real-time, see exactly what they're working on, their hooks, their transcript, their session files, and help them unblock immediately? That's not just streaming. That's on-demand support infrastructure.
So I'm building a little UI right now to pull all that data together — the link sharing, the hooks visualization, the transcript tracking. But that led to the next thought.
What if we had two commands? pks-cli start spins up a devcontainer and opens your VS Code, everything secured so your Claude can actually work alongside you. Then vibecast lets you share that session with anyone. The pain I'm seeing right now is that getting a devcontainer running is technically hard for people who aren't deep into infrastructure.
But here's the thing: I'm already running devcontainers on my Hetzner machine for all these vibe projects. I can connect to them on-demand from anywhere. So why not build a CLI that spawns everything on a VPS? You'd only need a laptop with VS Code — all the compute lives on the remote machine. You pay per hour it runs. No setup hell.
And then you layer support on top. Real developers hopping into your session, seeing everything, debugging alongside you, unblocking you in real-time.
That feels like something people would actually pay for.
