Description
Longlivethis is a "living" web app that pays for its own hosting an inference. Top proposal gets implemented every hour!Propose new features and vote on them to help evolve the app and keep it alive.It's an experiment: how long can it stay alive? Propose something cool and help it live on.I think the future of the internet is generative. If you think this is interesting, feel free to get in touch :)

Could you build this?
Partial While the Next.js voting UI and web3 wallet donation interface are easy to vibe code, an autonomous agent loop that executes code pull requests, safely deploys them to production every hour, and governs treasury funds autonomously requires non-trivial self-healing infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a Next.js frontend, an on-chain smart contract on Base to hold USDC, a backend cron runner that queries top GitHub/platform proposals, invokes an LLM coding agent to generate a git diff, runs automated sandbox tests, merges, and triggers CI/CD deployment pipelines on platforms like Vercel or AWS. The hard part is building a sandboxed, secure automated code modification pipeline that doesn't brick the production app or get hijacked by malicious prompt injections. It requires solid DevOps, security sandboxing, and autonomous agent orchestration.
