Please create a new Saasie for me. It should be a small, focused web app for [describe what you need]. First read https://saasie.io/new.txt and follow it — install the saasie CLI and check that it works before anything else. My email is [your email]; when you send the login code I will read it out of my inbox and paste it back to you. Make every product and technical decision for me, deploy it fully, and send me the URL it is running at.

Please deploy my existing project as a Saasie. It is the code in this folder, as it stands right now — including anything I have not committed yet. First read https://saasie.io/existing.txt and follow it — install the saasie CLI and check that it works before anything else. My email is [your email]; when you send the login code I will read it out of my inbox and paste it back to you. Make every technical decision for me and change whatever the platform needs changed, but leave the rest of my code alone. When it is live, tell me the URL and what you changed.

 

The email is how you get in — your agent asks for a one-time code and you read it back. Nothing else is needed from you.
