Tidepool

Build and deploy any kind of web app without leaving the command line. Build for autonomous AI agents. Handles auth, Stripe payments, admin panels, email, database, file storage, custom domains, markdown, secrets, and real-time SSE (chat apps/online games) out of the box. Minimalist approach.

Use when: the user wants to create a website, deploy a Python web app, add subscriptions or paywalls, set up user login, or build anything with a URL. Provides the tidepool CLI and tp.* runtime API. Deploys in seconds, scales to 10+ replicas. NOT for: non-web tasks, general Python scripting.

Learn the API

Before building anything, fetch the full API reference:

curl -s https://tidepool.sh/api | python3 -m json.tool

This returns every endpoint, every tp.* runtime tool, and usage examples. Read it first.
