"My website was not what potential customers would be looking for. Although what the site did was useful, no one in the age of agentic coding was going to use it. Instead, they would want some way to have their coding agent, or their build process, or some other automated thing, use my system."
"I told Claude to build a command-line tool to do the process. In about 20 more minutes, tools for Mac, Windows, and Linux, as well as variations for Arm and x86, were all built and ready. He changed the website to make the CLI the main thing and presented the correct download to the user depending on the OS."
A developer realized their website-based tool was incompatible with current development practices centered on agentic coding and automation. Rather than requiring manual user interaction, potential customers needed integration with their coding agents, build processes, and automated workflows. The solution involved creating a command-line tool accessible across multiple operating systems and architectures. Within hours, CLI versions for Mac, Windows, and Linux with both Arm and x86 support were developed. The website was restructured to prioritize the CLI as the primary offering, with automatic OS detection directing users to appropriate downloads. This shift aligned the product with how modern developers actually work.
