brainstorm.spot — a canvas built for jamming with your coding agent

brainstorm.spot is out. It's a spatial canvas — stickies, frames, arrows — that your coding agent shares with you over MCP. You sketch the messy version of an idea, and the agent reads the actual layout: what's clustered together, what points at what. It can write back too, dropping in ideas, themes, and working HTML artifacts while you watch them land on the board.

Every board is just JSON in your repo, so it versions with git like everything else. Running it locally is free:

npx brainstorm-spot

The new part: live multiplayer boards. Create a board in the cloud and anyone with the link can jam on it with you — no accounts, and one collaborator can bridge their own agent in. Guests and agents are always free; hosting live boards is $5/mo.

It started as an internal tool on my own dashboard, and I kept reaching for it enough that it earned its own package.
