- 01
Use 5-minute CLI tools and operational videos to turn Cloudflare configuration into a standard pipeline
Targeting the pain point of cumbersome binding of multiple components such as Cloudflare D1, R2, KV, and Workers, the team open-sourced tanstarter-cli and released a 5-minute deployment demonstration on YouTube (with a total of 805 plays), compressing environment initialization and database migration into a single interactive command.

Comes with MkImage image station template, and uses Showcase to collect buyers' online works
A one-time $139 license delivers both the TanStarter main template and the MkImage image template with over 1,400 prompt words; the founder has been collecting buyers' online image stations and AI tools through MkDollar since April and putting them on the official website Showcase, and then created a single-month income peak of $11,819 in May.
