Show HN: I open-sourced the portal I built for a client's vibe-coded apps

We don't have a dedicated DevOps team, but vibe coding has caused our number of apps to explode. This gap really calls for a lightweight, unified portal solution.
The project Ménagerai started off as something I built for a client who was an SME from a traditional industry (real estate, manufacturing etc)... the founder, a 65+ guy who could easily retire, was personally super into vibe coding and would often have coding marathons into the wee hours each night.
He then forced his entire leadership team across several countries to take on vibe coding. I was helping them manage deployment but soon found having to shepherd a dozen different vibe apps. Each had independent logins, different password and user management systems. It was all a mess.
While building a unified user/app portal to manage all this, I had a chat with a CTO from one of my former companies who said they recently also built something very alike to manage THEIR internal vibe-coded apps.
That got me thinking, maybe there are others with similar needs? Hence I made an open source version and named it Menagerai. Like menagerie, a managed collection of your wild vibe-coded apps, if you catch my drift ;)
The GitHub repo includes a link to a passwordless, live demo so you can play around with it.
I'd love to get feedback of whether you think this is something useful for other SMEs bitten by the vibe coding bug, or even larger enterprises who encourage their staff to vibe apps.
