Building Hub Code for HubSpot App Development

CURRENT STATUS: Tinkering on a new idea...Hub Code. It's like Claude Code, but tailored for the HubSpot development platform. If you're not familiar, HubSpot's agentic customer platform (which includes a CRM) allows many ways to customize it. One of those is to create UI extensions. These can be mini-apps or app "cards" that run right inside the primary HubSpot UI. The apps themselves can be quite powerful accessing data within and outside HubSpot, invoking APIs, etc. The apps use the HubSpot design language so that apps and cards look like they're natively part of HubSpot. Here's the "Hub Code" idea... In order to create a HubSpot app, you currently have to use a specific project folder structure, get everything in the right place, tinker with the UI, integrate your endpoints, etc. It's clean and elegant -- but can be intimidating at the start. Imagine if there was something called Hub Code that works like Claude Code (and Claude Cowork). It lets you vibe code a HubSpot app. You tell it what you want the app/card to do, and it takes care of the details. Once you're done vibe coding, a single command sends your project to your authorized HubSpot portal where you can test it out. Experimenting with both a Terminal UI (TUI) like Claude Code, but also a web UI that may be more approachable for some users. This is still very much an early exploration. Something I hacked on during my Marathon Coding Weekend last weekend. Trying to gauge level of interest, so all feedback appreciated including a quick "like" on this post if you think it's a good idea. Thanks. UPDATE: In-depth discussion happening over at LinkedIn and have come to the conclusion that I should focus on the web UI first (instead of the TUI, based on opencode) as that solves a more immediate problem for more people.
