Garage44

License Bun

Modern web applications built with Bun, Preact, and DeepSignal.

Garage44 represents a complete approach to automated software development. From writing code to deploying production systems, every step of the development lifecycle is streamlined and automated.

Development starts with Bunchy—instant hot module replacement and live reloading eliminate the traditional edit-compile-refresh cycle. Write code, see changes immediately.

AI-assisted workflows are built into the platform. Expressio automates translation workflows, detecting missing translations in your code and translating them using AI providers. Malkovich serves as both a documentation hub and an AI discovery platform, enabling AI agents to understand project structure, architectural decisions, and development patterns.

Deployment happens automatically. Push to a pull request? Malkovich spins up an isolated preview environment. Merge to main? Production deploys automatically via webhooks. Systemd services, nginx configurations, SSL certificates—all generated and managed automatically.

Collaboration is seamless. WebSocket-based real-time synchronization keeps teams in sync. Component styleguides ensure visual consistency. Architecture Decision Records guide both human developers and AI assistants. The result: a development environment where you focus on building features, not configuring tooling. Where AI agents can understand and contribute to your codebase. Where deployment is a push away, not a multi-step manual process.
