My First Open Source Project

I want to tell you three things about my life.

The First Story: A Machine

In 1997, I was 13 years old.

I saved up money and bought my first computer. A Pentium 133MHz.

That machine changed my life. From that moment, I was captivated by technology. Completely. Hopelessly.

But here's the thing.

I couldn't code.

I tried. I really tried. Tutorials. Books. Online courses. Over and over again, for years.

I never got past Hello World.

The Second Story: A Dream

I had this dream. To ship something on the internet. Something I built.

Eventually, I became a startup CEO. I found brilliant engineers. Together, we shipped products.

But it was never my code. Never my hands on the keyboard, building something from nothing.

That dream stayed unfulfilled. For nearly 30 years.

The Third Story: Today

Then AI happened.

I started talking to Claude Code. Not coding. Talking. Describing what I wanted. Having conversations.

And something magical happened.

My ideas became software. Real, working software.

Today, I'm releasing my first open source project. It's called CLIBLOG—a blog API designed for AI assistants.

Is the code perfect? I don't know.

Is it technically impressive? Probably not.

But I built it. Me. The person who couldn't get past Hello World.

I can't stop smiling.

What CLIBLOG Does

It's simple. You talk to your AI. Your AI publishes your blog.

If you're already building with Claude Code or Codex, you have rich context about your work. Turning that into a blog post is one sentence: "Publish what we did today."

Your AI can generate images. Create diagrams. Upload everything. Format and publish.

This screenshot above? AI-generated.

This entire post? Written and published through CLI.

Try It Now

You can start your own blog right now. No sign-up forms. No email verification.

Just run this:

curl -fsSL https://blog.dreamcore.gg/install-skill.sh | bash

Then tell Claude Code: "I want to start a blog."

That's it. You'll have your own blog at blog.dreamcore.gg/b/yourname in seconds.

One More Thing

If you've ever dreamed of building something—but couldn't code—listen to me.

AI is your moment.

You don't need to wait anymore. You don't need permission. You don't need to learn syntax or frameworks or deployment pipelines.

You just need to start talking.
