README

Context Area - Fast, Smart Prompting for Devs

[![](https://badge.xymake.com/janwilmake/status/1980588668826902890)](https://x.com/janwilmake/status/1980588668826902890)

Goals

Create the best possible Cloud-Based Context Engineering Experience for Developers that can be self-hosted (on Cloudflare)

  • Easy to Share configurations and results with team
  • Good MCP integration
  • Strong Focus on Ease of use and Accessibility
  • Edit Flow > Iterative Messaging
  • URL Expansion with realtime insights (tokens, mediatype)
  • Prompt Check (for OG, but also for missing context)
  • Full Result is URL, each codeblock is URL
  • Painpoint: Prompting workflows are very private, sharing functionality sucks. Visibility is value. Help devs share and monetise their learnings.
  • Creating the best API for stateful chat completions
  • Creating better ways of LLMs using tools
  • Easy interface for chat completions standard
  • X Login -> user-owned results, user payouts.
  • Easy way to create "agents" that have many MCPs (by default)
  • Integration with OpenRouter to make it super generic

Non-goals

We are not aiming to match the UX non-technical folks need in any way.

  • Chat history
  • Inline previews
  • Styles
  • Integrations
  • Uploads
  • Tools

Contents of this repo

  • app - ContextArea itself
  • stream-server - serves the output files as they are generated
  • redirects - redirect from old names lmpify.com and letmeprompt.com
  • contextarea-v0 - old/previous frontend element to drag&drop context and to see tokens in a textarea.
