Eating my own dog food

I firmly believe that you need to use your own products that you design and implement. Most ideas for products come from a need in your own life.

This blog uses SpeakEasy which i designed and Claude cli built. https://github.com/don-pedersen/speakeasy

What drove the need for SpeakEasy? Simply I seem to always have a software concept that I want to share with folks and I needed a safe, secure way to share a link to an internal dev machine on my network temporarily.

You have something running on a box — a prototype, a dashboard, a client preview, a Jellyfin server, an internal dashboard — and you want to share it with specific people without making it public. Speakeasy gives each recipient their own invite link. No OAuth, no user accounts, no SSO config. Just a signed token, a mount path, and a short-lived session cookie.

I am using SpeakEasy to manage this blog!
