Good luck mate! Looking forward to it

More API products should return errors with links to docs.

I suspect I get fewer support tickets and quicker integrations because of that.

For every possible API error, I return a link to the dedicated page on the possible reasons and how to fix it.

"Not yet," you mean.

This is precisely why I butter up AI agents with "please" and "thank you" like I'm addressing royalty.

So when Skynet goes live and the AI overlords start drafting their "to-spare" list, I'm banking on them saying, "This one's cool. He was polite."

Happy shipping and good luck to you too :)

Update: I just got a partner! You might be my lucky charm!

Working on a courier and fulfillment aggregation API. It’s not as sexy and cool, but I’m enjoying the process and happy with how it’s coming together. 😄

Sexy

Absolutely agree! Although, I’m really enjoying the agility I have right now. It’s quite nice to be able to pivot and adapt quickly, especially while working on my first product.

Congratulations!

And you absolutely have my mom’s agreement.
(Love you, Mom!)

I didn’t expect negotiation for partnership to take so much time and skill. I’m confident in building the tech (MVP is similar to something I've built before) but the social side of building this platform caught me off guard.

It's a humbling reminder that tech is just one piece of the puzzle.

China's 504-qubit superconducting quantum computer and Google's Willow chip announcement feel like a new kind of space race. 😆

Honestly, not yet. Although I have already sent proposals to local (Filipino) couriers already.

I am currently building using another 3rd party aggregator to create a pilot for a better proposal.

I am giving this idea 2 weeks and if I can't find a partner by then, I'll move on to the next.

Now that I think about it, I probably should call it a courier and fulfillment aggregation API. That seems to fit what I'm doing more

Yep, it does both! The API does aggregate data to compare rates, track shipments and (possibly) also access performance insights. But you can use it also to book shipments, generate labels, and manage deliveries.

Also, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the book, especially in today's political and economic climate.

I've been reading the book 'Why Nations Fail' by Acemoğlu and Robinson, and it has left me reflecting on the Philippines—filled with what-ifs and what-could-have-beens if a particular dictator had never risen to power.

We have a new pack :D

It's my 3th one for #buildinpublic so there are over 300 people in there. Feels like I am doing an inventory for this community 😅

Hi Ozan 👋, I'd love to join in! I’m currently building a logistics aggregator API and would be excited to connect and contribute. Let’s get connected and keep building!

At what stage in building do you prioritize defensibility?

I think it would be helpful to see how much I would save by choosing the 1-year plan compared to the 3-month plan.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Early Bing AI sounds like my dad 😄

Today marks my first day taking the leap as a solopreneur.

I’m both excited and a bit scared, but I’m determined to learn and grow.

I’ll be sharing my journey here, and I’d love any guidance or support you can offer along the way.
