The Problem We're Solving
Building software has never been easier. Tools like Bolt, Lovable, Replit, Cursor, and Claude Code have democratized creation. Anyone with an idea can now ship a working product in hours instead of months.
But here's what nobody talks about: launching is the easy part.
The hard part begins the moment you go live.
The Hidden Burden of Every Shipped Project
Whether you have one project or ten, the moment it's live, you inherit:
- Uptime anxiety — Is it running? Would I even know if it went down?
- Security debt — Are my dependencies safe? What vulnerabilities am I exposed to?
- Performance drift — Is it still fast? What's my Core Web Vitals score?
- SEO invisibility — Can Google find me? What about AI crawlers?
- Backup blindness — When did I last back this up? Could I restore it if everything broke?
Each project multiplies this burden. But even a single project carries all of this weight.
The Mental Tax
For indie makers, solopreneurs, and small teams, this creates a constant low-grade anxiety. You're never quite sure if things are okay. You don't have time to check everything manually. And the tools that exist are built for enterprises with dedicated DevOps teams.
You're left with a choice:
- Ignore the maintenance and hope nothing breaks
- Spend hours each week checking dashboards, running scans, reviewing logs
- Pay for 5+ different tools and stitch together your own monitoring stack
None of these options let you do what you actually want: keep building.
The SlyDuck Vision
One Command Center
SlyDuck is the command center for vibe coders — the people building with AI tools, shipping fast, and trying to turn ideas into sustainable projects.
We believe that:
- →Maintenance shouldn't require context-switching — One dashboard, all your projects, all the vitals
- →Monitoring should be proactive, not reactive — Know about problems before your users do
- →Every builder deserves enterprise-grade tools — Backups, uptime, security, SEO, and performance shouldn't require a DevOps hire
- →Your first project should be free — We grow when you grow
Not Just Monitoring — Orchestration
Today, SlyDuck monitors. Tomorrow, SlyDuck orchestrates.
We're building toward a future where your command center doesn't just watch — it acts. Where routine maintenance happens automatically. Where you can focus entirely on creation because everything operational is handled.
This isn't about becoming an IDE. The world has Cursor, Zed, and Windsurf for writing code. SlyDuck is about everything that happens after you ship — the care and feeding of living projects.
Who This Is For
SlyDuck is for the builder who:
- Ships multiple projects or one project they care deeply about
- Uses AI tools to accelerate development
- Wants peace of mind without the enterprise price tag
- Values their time and can't afford to babysit deployments
- Dreams of building a portfolio of digital products that runs itself
Whether you're managing a single side project or orchestrating a constellation of micro-SaaS products, you deserve a command center that scales with your ambition.
Our Commitment
Stay independent
We're building for builders, not for enterprise procurement cycles
Keep it simple
One login, one dashboard, one price. No complexity tax.
Free tier forever
Your first project is always free. No credit card, no trial period.
Build in public
Our roadmap is transparent. Your feedback shapes what we build.
The Future
The vibe coding revolution is just beginning. As AI tools get better, more people will ship more projects. The bottleneck won't be building — it'll be maintaining.
SlyDuck exists to remove that bottleneck.
We're here to help you ship with confidence, sleep without worry, and build the portfolio of projects you've always dreamed of.
Keep building. We'll keep watching.
