Building a solo product empire means managing a lot of moving parts. In my case, that often means working across a dozen different repositories for a single project.
The manual overhead is the biggest friction. In the early days, my morning routine was a mess of terminal tabs. I had to navigate to each folder, run a build script, start a watcher, and hope I did not miss something. If one repo had an update, I had to manually restart the entire chain. It was slow and unreliable.
I started solving this with a bash script called start-watchers.sh. It worked, but it was just a temporary fix.
Strive Start is the evolution of that script into a dedicated orchestration tool. It is being designed for the multi-repo developer who needs a unified way to manage their runtime ecosystem.
Performance Orchestration
This tool is aimed at removing the "Boot Friction" that usually kills momentum.
- Unified Boot Sequence: One move to start every watcher and build process in the correct order.
- Intelligent Dependencies: It handles which project needs to be built before the other one can start watching.
- Resource Efficiency: It manages parallel processes to ensure your machine stays fast while everything runs.
- Clean Log Streams: No more hunting through a dozen terminal tabs to find a build error.
Where it is now
Strive Start is in the active research phase. I am currently defining the core orchestration logic and how it interacts with the rest of the Strive-CLI suite. The goal is to move beyond simple scripts and into a stable tool that supports "High-Fidelity Speed" as the studio grows.
