Fly.io @fly.io · 04/08/2026Matthew Ford ships OcuClaw, an AI agent for smart glasses. Nothing he builds can be tested in isolation: every change touches an Android app, two plugins, and a glasses simulator that all have to run together. 100
Fly.io @fly.io · 03/08/2026Need a computer for your agent? With Sprites, you just type sprite create and you're good to go. 010
Fly.io @fly.io · 14/07/2026Every Sprite comes with 100GB of storage, but you only pay for what you use. So go ahead and make a bunch. That’s kind of the point. sprites.dev 120
Fly.io @fly.io · 08/07/2026You can run an agent on your laptop around the clock, but you probably shouldn't. Use a computer built for agents instead. fly.io/agents-need-... 000
Fly.io @fly.io · 16/04/2026Fly.io is excited to be a provider with Stripe Projects, an all-new way to provision production-ready developer stacks with a single tool! No more juggling a million dashboards, tokens, etc. Learn more at: projects.dev 151
Fly.io @fly.io · 27/01/2026Secondly, we built this whole thing with a single prompt. We can do this with confidence because Sprites were designed to be the perfect place for Claude to just go nuts. No need to micromanage. Just give it a task, and then go make some lunch. It's that easy. 100
Fly.io @fly.io · 27/01/2026Built the world's simplest code runner in 5 mins with Sprites. This is doubly cool. First off, how it works: User writes some scary JavaScript, which then gets run in a new Sprite. Sprites are literally built for running random code, so bring on the footguns. 🧵 110
Fly.io @fly.io · 26/01/2026Sprites make it easy to connect stuff on the internet. Take Slack bots: easy to build, annoying to hook up locally and test. Sprites are first-class citizens of the internet, so you can just build your bot on one, get a public URL, and boom: it's plug-n-play ready. 040
Fly.io @fly.io · 23/01/2026Is that a TUI for visualizing your sprites MADE IN A SPRITE? Yes, yes it is. It lets you see all the sprites in your org, which ones are running, and organize them to get a better sense of which sprites work together. github.com/aezell/sprit... 030
Fly.io @fly.io · 22/01/2026We've been yappin' about Sprites a lot, but something we haven't been yappin' about are... ✨DELI CUPS✨ 🧵 120
Fly.io @fly.io · 21/01/2026We made "ball-point disposable computers" by committing three heresies: Killing user container images, running orchestration inside the VM, and backing disks with S3. The result? Instant boot, auto-sleep, and zero dockerfile misery. Machines are for servers; Sprites are for everything else. 🔗 ➡ 🧵 210
Fly.io @fly.io · 16/01/2026🤖 We made a thing that handles real AI workflows called Sprites. Watch the video where Claude builds features, breaks things, fixes modals, adds color-coded graphs, and switches themes. All while the developer, @anniesexton.com does her makeup. 🔗➡️ youtu.be/--PIlSp1YOg 0141
Fly.io @fly.io · 09/01/2026We made a thing called Sprites that lets you run AI code safely. Watch Chris create sandboxes in seconds, let agents install packages freely, then restore to checkpoints when things go sideways. 🔗 ➡️ youtu.be/7BfTLlwO4hw 150
