I built Yrkit because I wanted to keep coding without being stuck at a desk . Next to my wife on the couch. From a hospital bed. Traveling. The whole pipeline — write, run, deploy — from a phone screen. Most dev tools assume you're sitting at a computer. I didn't want that assumption.
In 2019 I started building a markup language called
Yr
— a way to write HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Bash in one single
.yr
file. I was tired of context-switching between languages and files for every project.
Yrkit grew out of that. First as a simple editor to test Yr code. Then a visual builder. Then CI/CD. Then database management. Five years later it became a complete platform — not because I planned it that way, but because every tool I reached for externally, I ended up building inside Yrkit instead.
This is a solo developer project . One person designed, coded, and shipped everything you see. That means slower progress, but also direct access — feedback goes straight to the person building it, not a support queue.
In 2024 I was on the road for months and used Yrkit to keep shipping client projects from my phone. That trip is the best proof that the product works.
Early beta. Has bugs. Works in production. I use it myself, daily — including to build and iterate on Yrkit itself. The foundation is solid. The edges are rough. That's honest.
50 early adopter spots open. The people who come in now get locked-in pricing and a direct line to what gets built next.
Full-featured browser IDE. Works on any device — including your phone . Any language: Yr, HTML, CSS, JS, Python, Bash. File tree, tabs, syntax highlighting, cloud save. Pick up exactly where you left off.
Drag-and-drop page builder with live preview. Design visually, export clean Yr or HTML. No-code for clients , real code underneath. Includes a library of 300+ reusable Yr wrappers.
Build, serve, and deploy each project from an integrated terminal — from the same tab you wrote the code in . Write on your phone, hit deploy, it's live. Git-native.
Manage databases directly from the dashboard. Deploy, monitor, and configure without leaving your IDE.
Built-in task tracker and kanban board. See all open tasks across projects without context-switching to another tool.
Push, pull, reset, status — directly from the file tree. No terminal required.
Context-aware AI for any language in your project. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. At cost, permanently — no markup, no middleman.
Yr is the open source DSL that powers Yrkit. It lets HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Bash coexist in a single
.yr
file — organized by simple section markers like
><
for HTML,
##
for CSS,
@@
for JS,
**
for DevOps.
Yr is early stage — a structured markup DSL, not a general-purpose language yet. You don't need to learn it to use the Yrkit IDE. But the visual builder and CI/CD pipeline run on Yr underneath.
5 years in development. Open source. Published on npm.
The AI billing system is still being built. While it's not ready, all paid early adopters use the AI Copilot with their own API key — and that access stays permanent , even after managed billing launches.
Free plan available. No credit card. Early adopter spots open.
