The Origin Story

Built in Secret.
Launched for Everyone.

A two-year journey to fix the fragmented developer experience, crafted by a single developer from Scotland.

Developed by Millsy.dev

I'm a self-taught developer from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. For the past couple of years, I've been building GRID in secret, fueled by a simple frustration: modern development is too fragmented.

To build anything substantial today, you need to glue together a dozen different services—one for hosting, one for secrets, another for AI, a different one for team management. I wanted to stop tab-switching and start shipping.

The Problem

Existing IDEs are great text editors, but terrible platforms. You have to leave the editor to manage your database, check your deployment status, or pay your team. The "flow" is broken constantly.

The Solution

GRID unifies the entire lifecycle. It's not just an editor; it's a control plane. Access your dashboard, manage secrets, and deploy infrastructure without ever losing focus.

Why "In Secret"?

I didn't want to release another half-baked wrapper. I wanted to build something that could genuinely replace the tools I use every day. That meant keeping my head down, ignoring the hype cycles, and focusing purely on engineering a better experience.

Now, it's finally ready for you.

Still fighting a fragmented workflow?

Realistically, we can't solve every single instance of fragmentation—software development is too vast. But we promise to fight for every inch of integration we can. We might not cover everything, but we will try our absolute best to combine as many tools as possible into one seamless experience.
