I wanted to build my own v0-style code generation tool, but starting with a full web app builder felt overwhelming. So I narrowed the scope to something more focused: an AI email generator.

What it does: Describe an email in plain English, select your brand (logo, colors), and get a responsive, styled email. The AI generates React Email components, which means you get email-client-compatible code that you can version control and customize. Export as React or HTML.

One interesting technical decision: Initially used WebContainer for live preview, but boot time was 30-40 seconds plus 3-4s compilation. Switched to client-side Babel transpilation - now previews render in <1s. Trade-off is you can't install additional packages (e.g., custom icon libraries), but React Email's built-in components cover most use cases. Did I make the right call here?

Stack: TanStack Start, React Email, Postgres, Vercel AI SDK, Resend

Would love feedback on whether this solves a real problem or if existing tools are already good enough.

To be completely honest, I didn't even think about ansible when creating this (probability because I haven't yet used it), I looked at pssh and clusterssh and just decided to build one myself.

It does not support Vultr currently, but it likely wouldn't be difficult to add. There's an open issue for it: https://github.com/andrewchilds/overcast/issues/58

Haven't really used powershell for my tasks and I'm not as experienced as you are, but what you said sounds absolutely cool, I'll check it out

Haven't set a limit to how many connections are shown, once all the commands are executing, each result (success/failure) is shown at once. So if you connect to 1000 computers, your shell will be flooded with progress bars first and then the output.

Maybe I should set a limit or let the user set a limit to how many results should be shown once the process is completed. Showing m and n results from the start and end

Hey, I missed your comment earlier. And yes, I'd love to hear about those parameters and how they'd be useful

Are you still asking this question in an interview? I know a thing or two about sshing into servers, I think I'd be a good enough candidate

Unfortunately (or, fortunately) no - this was a lifetime ago when I owned a large hosting company

I know ansible or even custom shell scripts are way better and optimized for such use cases. However, I just wanted to show something I built that might be useful to someone.

My comparison is most likely unfair because i am looking at it through a distorted lens of running all sorts of configuration management in production or at home for years. So i might be the wrong person to make judgement on it and just being a hater for no good reason.

Hey, yeah I admit i should've written the README myself, but I'm kinda lazy , so I let gpt handle both readme and the post. And I do know there are other tools way better than this and battle tested, but I just built this for fun and not to compete with any of them.

I was getting bored, this seemed like a cool project to work on outside of work, that's why. One of my colleagues found it useful for his needs, so I figured there might be other people who'd find this useful too.
