Handoff is a new Dropbox-like file-sharing application built on top of BFFless. It lets you share files with other people — and even with Claude on VPS servers — through a clean web interface with folder management, drag-and-drop uploads, share links, and role-based access control. In this post, we'll walk through the entire process of deploying Handoff from scratch: forking the repo, configuring GitHub secrets, migrating storage to AWS S3, wiring up the MCP server so Claude can manage BFFless, and then letting Claude deploy the whole application to production.

Handoff is one of several apps in the BFFless apps repository — a collection of ready-to-deploy applications that sit on top of a BFFless instance. Another example is Studio, a post-production video editing tool. The idea is that with a little help from Claude (or by reading the instructions yourself), you can deploy any of these apps on top of your own BFFless server.

Editing video tutorials can be an incredibly time-consuming process. Between cutting out dead space, removing coughs, and editing out mistakes or redos, post-production often takes longer than recording the video itself. To solve this, I created a custom open-source application called Studio, designed to automate these tedious tasks.

In this walkthrough, we'll take a raw, unedited 19-minute YouTube tutorial about authentication and run it through the Studio app to see just how much fluff we can automatically trim away.
