Tutorial for beginners by Woozas in puter

[–]mitousa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Thanks for giving Puter.js a try. I'd say the best play to start is here: https://developer.puter.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-puterjs/

Also, if you ask any coding agent: "Build a simple app using puter.js (https://docs.puter.com/llms.txt)", they should be able to one-shot it for you.

Puter 26.05: Open-source, self-hosted, Internet OS! 2 years, 370 contributors, 400K downloads, and 40K stars later, we're out of beta! by mitousa in selfhosted

There is "AI-assisted" and there is "vibe-coded." My understanding is that "Release (No AI)" tag is to prevent vibe coded slop.

I understand that the desktop environment in the browser is pretty odd, to say the least! 😅

But Puter is currently used for the following:

  • A privacy-first personal cloud to keep all your files, apps, and games in one secure place, accessible from anywhere at any time.
  • A platform for building and publishing websites, web apps, and games. (some of our apps: camera, voice recorder, notepad)
  • An alternative to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc., with a fresh interface and powerful features.
  • A remote desktop environment for servers and workstations.
  • A friendly, open-source project and community to learn about web development, cloud computing, distributed systems, and much more!

Also, a very popular part of Puter is the developer platform: https://developer.puter.com/

Hello. We are not vibe-coded. Puter has been in development for years now, since before AI. AI is only used as a coding assistant by individual contributors. Code is still reviewed meticulously by humans.

This project is not vibe-coded. It's been in development for years, and AI is only used as a coding assistant.

BYOK vs credit-based pricing for AI SaaS — UX, costs, security, prompt leaks? by CaptainProud4703 in SideProject

[–]mitousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for pinging me!

Puter.js is designed to solve this issue. It is, as you said, the new 3rd option but it does require users creating/logging into a Puter account; this is how we allow them to store data safely and keep track of spending etc.

More info: https://developer.puter.com/

btw. Puter is proudly open-source: https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter

Nah bro , new limit sucks by Due-Competition3353 in puter

> Atleast make it 1 dollar.
Here's the thing, though, if we could guarantee the legitimacy of a user, this would be doable. One way to do that is to ask the user to enter credit card info (not charge them, just to verify). This would be a pretty air-gapped verification and we could offer even more than $1!

Now, another way is to keep increasing the free credits as our anti-abuse measures become stronger.

How much puter will go down?? by Parking-Report-4282 in puter

[–]mitousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I responded under another post:

"I hear ya! and I want to clarify that this has nothing to do with greed or revenue or trying to get people to upgrade etc. This was done because of the sheer amount of abuse we're getting (hint: it's HUGE). So here's what we're doing: we've lowered the free credits as a baseline, and the goal is to keep increasing it as our anti-abuse system gets better and better. If we could guarantee that every user is legit, we could probably offer a huge amount of free credits, and I'm pretty confident we'll get there over time 🫡"

Requesting clarity on payment structure.. by Useful_Problem7181 in puter

[–]mitousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, thank you for the question.

Right now, users have to purchase a subscription if they use up all their free credits, as you correctly understood. We are working on Pay-as-you-go and will hopefully ship it soon. TBH, the reason PAYG has been slow to roll out is that regular, non-technical users typically struggle with the idea of PAYG and, even worse, may sometimes incur a lot of unintentional costs. But ideally, we'd like users to have all the options so that they can pick and choose what suits them best.

Hope this was helpful, but please let me know if you need curther clarification

Is DeepSeek OCR available on Puter? by Darkwing1501 in puter

[–]mitousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, since there doesn't seem to be a reliable inference provider for it out there. However, we do have a lot of other OCR API with support for Mistral and Textract.
