Puter.js ā The Backend for AI-Generated Apps
One-shot full-stack apps with your existing AI coding tool. Puter.js is the backend built for AI-generated apps: a small, consistent API that agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot use correctly every time, with up to 90% fewer AI tokens than other backend platforms.
One library gives you Auth, Storage, DB, Hosting, serverless Workers, AI, and more. No API keys, no servers, no setup, so your agent never stalls waiting for credentials. And with the User-Pays model, users bring their own resources, keeping your infrastructure costs at $0 at any scale.

A Social Post for Thought
Is there a good reason why React has yet to be dethroned? Will it ever be replaced as the number one UI library?
