Reuse Vite. HOME on the process. No --force every time. Iframe before npm run build.

CodeLoom is not a waitlist. These are the things that changed on etzelchicko.com: preview, billing, ops, the studio. Written so a builder can decide if this factory is real.

Why this exists
We write down what broke.
The working loop
Preview used to call npx vite --force on every tab. On the VPS that hung. Now we start the local Vite binary, reuse the process, and skip the production build before the iframe. That is the kind of post we put here — not “5 tips for prompting.”

Deep cut
The rest of the page — not a teaser.
2026-09-02 — Preview on the domain
npx + stripped env + restart-on-POST made Vite never stay up. Local vite.js on the VPS was ready in ~300ms. We ship that path: adopt running processes, persist the port, install only if Vite is missing.
2026-09-02 — Card checkout
GET /api/billing/checkout creates a Whop checkout configuration with your user id in metadata, or falls back to the hosted plan URL. POST /api/webhooks/whop verifies the signature and sets plan to pro or free. You still must register the webhook in Whop; the API key cannot.
2026-09-02 — Command center
/admin is a dark ops surface. Telemetry records path + IP. Sessions are hashed JWTs with lastSeen. Unlock with ADMIN_PASSWORD or ADMIN_EMAILS.
2026-09-02 — Nav like a product company
Hover Solutions / Resources. Enterprise is a first-class route. Every card in those menus is a page with this long form, not a stub.
How we count tokens
Prompt text plus streamed assistant text. Not Cursor’s hidden meter. If that surprises you, good — now you know.
What we will not blog
Roadmaps that are wishes. Fake customer logos as if they paid us. Enterprise stats are product facts, not a name-drop strip. Stories uses template names on purpose.
Questions
Ask these before you waste a week.
Is this a mock or a real app?
Real Vite + React + TypeScript files in a project you own. Preview is a running Vite server proxied through the studio iframe.
What happens when I hit the token cap?
The agent stops until the month resets or you upgrade. Pro is $19.99/month via Whop card checkout. The webhook sets your plan to Pro.
Can I take the code?
Yes. Export a zip from the studio. Secrets are not stuffed into the zip as plaintext from the ciphertext store — add env files yourself after export.
RSS?
Not yet. Changelog plus this page.
Next
Keep going.
Describe it. Watch it become real.
Free is live. Pro is $19.99/month on Whop. The studio, preview, and export are on this host — not a waitlist.
