And I'm meandering a little bit, but one of the reasons I love it so much is it builds so much on top of the fact that Tailscale
makes things so much easier because it takes identity and encryption and it brings them way down into the stack, like we're at layer three.
And if you do that, it can simplify so much stuff on top of it.
And Aperture is just an example of that.
Anybody can take TSNet and build an application that looks like a node in your network and you get identity and connectivity and security baked in for free.
And it's such a joy to work with it because as a developer for years,
I spent so much time and heart, like just, I had so many headaches about building authentication systems and managing, you know, managing infrastructure, opening up firewall ports and dealing with like, like whitelisting IPs.
And now with Tailscale, you just don't need to do that.
And then applications you built.
Yeah.
And with applications you build with TSNet, you don't need to do that.
Right.
So it's, yeah, it's just been a joy to work on this project over the past while.
It's, I mean, it's an early alpha right now.
There is a self-serve flow.
We launched it just, well, we quietly launched it a couple of weeks ago.
It's not quiet now.
We did more of a push just the other day on it.
But if you go to aperture.talescale.com, you can sign up.
We manage it as a wait list just because we don't want the servers to get overloaded.
