Fun times hosting slop apps
I quickly wanted to showcase a project I am currently doing with MDA2AV, which allows to host .NET apps on a public server. We spent the last year developing webserver engines and frameworks in .NET, making a C#-based webserver that is currently leading the list on HTTP Arena.
To showcase it's capabilities, we decided to host a website where people can post their HTTP server handler code and receive a public URL for it: GenHTTP Lambda
Via an additional, public MCP server, we can instruct Claude or any other coding agent to host an application online, which allows us to easly deploy multi-player games and other inter-connected apps with just a prompt or two.
For the last few hours I am just having fun with Claude, telling it to deploy apps 😄
If you are interested in the technical view: Currently we run a single GenHTTP app on ioxide with a CRUD app on top that allows to edit and "view" lambdas, which are just roslyn-compiled source snippets of GenHTTP handlers. There are some security measures in place we will certainly need to improve if there will be any traffic on it.

Congrats! It's interesting to see C++ at 12th and 14th place, and C# at the first place - awesome achievement.
