I got early access to Spacefast in August, and I’ve put more than 50 sites and apps on it since. Now it’s my home for most things I make with AI.
A real 2026 problem
Once agents made building easy, I hit a problem I never had before: where does all of my stuff go? My projects ended up on GitHub Pages, other hosts, or folders on my laptop. I lost track of what lived where, and I had a hard time sharing any of it.
Now I don’t have to think about it. I tell Claude “publish this” and I get a space for it. Everything sits in one place. I pick who sees each one, whether that’s my family, my team, my company, or everyone in the world. When a page needs to become an app, the database, sign-in and uploads are already there. It couldn’t be easier.
You can just build stuff
I’ve spent months building random things that make my life easier and richer.
- Roots maps who influenced who in popular music: 3,660 artists and 6,895 connections across 28 genres. I had this idea 20 years ago and it was basically a life project. Now Claude and Spacefast help me build and share it in a weekend. And I discover cool music like Gerry Mulligan.
- Wine Life is my journal of 33 wineries in Chile and Argentina.
- All the Shows logs 168 concerts and games I’ve been to.
- Scores is a light, fast sports scores page for my favorite niche sports.
- Family trip itineraries for Buenos Aires, La Paz, and Paraty. I set access to a private url so it’s relatively hidden, but still easy to view for my non-technical family members.
How I use it at work
- Prototypes. When an issue needs a design, Claude builds a clickable version that looks like the real WordPress.com screen and publishes it. The link goes in the issue, and anyone can leave a comment pinned to the exact spot they mean.
- Anything that looks better visually. Roadmaps. Campaign launches.
- Meetups. I published the event page for WordPress Santiago’s first meetup in a long time, where I showed an agent building a WordPress site from a conversation in Spanish. There’s also a bilingual guide for anyone who wants to run a one-hour session on managing a WordPress site with an AI agent.
- Games. While stuck on a long Jetpack deploy, I turned its static cow fight into a game, Dragon Bureaucrat. Enough Automatticians are building games on Spacefast that I made an arcade to keep track of them.
It made me a better developer
The WordPress code I work on at Automattic is huge and complicated, and one change can affect a lot of people, so I’ve always been tentative about making changes. Spacefast was a codebase still in its infancy, which made it a safer place to learn.
Since people can report feedback on Spacefast directly through the MCP, I used Claude to collect that feedback, and update a space daily with the most important bugs to fix.
I started slow, and got more confident with every fix. After a couple weeks I checked and saw I had 62 merged Spacefast PRs. It’s a wild feeling for someone who hasn’t really coded since I built a Geocities page in high school. I’ve since graduated to working on WordPress. I guess I owe it to Spacefast.
