Dyad, a local-first, open-source AI coding assistant, has introduced a new Portal template in its latest release, leveraging the power of Neon’s serverless Postgres to facilitate local AI app building with robust backend support. This update allows users to develop web apps from their machines, offering features like role-based permissions, a real database schema, and an innovative database undo function. The Portal template, powered by Neon's branching and Instant Restore APIs, supports persistent state without infrastructure setup, enabling users to create development branches for safe experimentation and roll back to previous states if needed. This advancement exemplifies the synergy between local-first tools and modern cloud infrastructure, providing an enhanced developer experience with capabilities like instant provisioning and seamless branching for versioning.
