Author here. Built some personal apps using OAuth/PKCE for auth, hosted as static sites. OpenRouter adds the AI. No backend, no database, no growing bill, minimal maintenance. I believe these frontend "Pixie apps" are a great architecture for personal tools you can actually share. Keen to hear what people think.
