drobek: an open-source MCP platform taking agent-built apps from code to live URL

The maker of drobek, an open-source platform for building small browser apps with your own coding agent, released a 33-second animated overview of the workflow.
Loop: createapp → writefiles → compile feedback back to the agent → preview → publish.
Key points
- App code runs in the browser; server-side modules provide sign-in, stored data, forms, email, files, and controlled API calls
- API secrets are entered in a dashboard and used server-side only, never handed to the agent; arbitrary agent-written backend code is not executed
- AGPL-3.0 core is self-hostable
- Known limitation: preview and production share the app's backend data, so preview isn't a staging environment
The video is an AI-assisted explainer, not a timed build recording.
