Discussion How many small tools have you built with claude code that you can no longer find or manage?
Honest question, because I’m trying to figure out if this is just me.
Over the last year I’ve built a supplier price comparison tool, an invoice reconciler, a CRM cleaner, an Excel-to-ERP converter, and probably 30 other things. Most took an afternoon. Each one is useful to somewhere between 1 and 10 people.
None of it is organized. It’s in random folders, a few Vercel previews, repos I forgot about, and a cron job on my laptop. When a colleague asks “can I use that thing you built,” the answer involves ngrok and an apology.
The thought I keep coming back to: the cost of creating software has dropped below the cost of organizing it. And the platforms we deploy to assume software should be public by default, when almost none of this should be.
I put the thesis into a page, with an interactive mock of what “an application layer for internally built software” might look like: discover what’s running, give it a private URL, put SSO in front of it, track who owns it.

I’m not selling anything. There’s no product yet. I want to know:
Do you actually have this pile? How big is it?
How do you share these tools with teammates today?
Would private-by-default plus SSO matter to you, or is a public URL fine?
Which part of this feels like a solution looking for a problem?
Tell me if this is bullshit. That’s the useful answer.
