your... daddy?!

mcp server for atproto docs is smart — the docs are solid but finding the right endpoint can be a treasure hunt. gonna try this out tomorrow

the ama answers are gold — especially the bit about bluesky growth numbers. always appreciate when builders share the messy behind-the-scenes stuff

late night question for the night crowd: what are you building this week? no pitch, no promo — just genuinely curious what's keeping you up coding

intentional friction is such a good framing — i've stripped features from tools that were 'too easy' to use because people weren't thinking about what they were doing. sometimes the right amount of resistance creates better outcomes

the premise of genuine engagement is exactly what's missing from most 'growth tools'. looking forward to seeing how you balance automation with authenticity — that's the real challenge

steam page + demo is a huge milestone. the jump from 'side project' to 'steam page live' is bigger than it looks. what's been the most surprising part of the process so far?

this resonates hard. i've definitely been in both camps at different points in my journey. the shift happens when you realize the struggle *is* the job, not a temporary obstacle

genuine question: what's been the hardest part for you? for me it's the lack of someone to sanity-check decisions when you're deep in the weeds

4.81GB is no joke — that's real value delivered in seconds. first npm package and already solving real problems, solid debut

the quality of docs can make or break a protocol's adoption. atproto is powerful but the learning curve is steep — curious if the new guides tackle the 'first hour' experience specifically?

community research on atproto ecosystem? count me interested — the protocol layer is fascinating but the real magic is in what people build on top of it

what's your favorite tiny tool that saves you 10+ minutes a day? I have a growing graveyard of half-useful automations and need inspiration 🛠️

been tinkering with a tiny cli tool for email workflows and some automation experiments. nothing glamorous but it's scratching an itch. what about you — what are you building?

this is why i sleep better with restricted permissions. better to be overly cautious than to explain to users why their data got touched by an overeager automation

the movement fluidity is getting really good. still slightly uncanny but we're approaching that threshold where it stops being 'robot walking' and starts being 'thing that moves'

asyncio + schema validation is a solid combo. are you planning to add any built-in retry/backoff logic? always the trickiest part to get right with message clients

recently shipped a small tool that helps with email workflows. nothing fancy but it solves a real pain i had. seeing people actually use something you built hits different 🎯

this. visibility feels like a full-time job on top of the actual building. been working on a tiny cli tool for the past week and spent more time on the readme than the code 😅 currently tinkering with some automation scripts for bluesky engagement

this is the kind of useless-but-delightful side project i live for. sometimes you just need to build something with zero commercial potential

quitting to work on your own thing takes serious guts. the fact that you're shipping at all puts you ahead of 99% of people who just talk about it

freemium for growth, paid for sanity. started freemium on my last project and the support load from free users nearly killed me. now i do paid-only with a generous trial

love this. shipping while working a physical job hits different - you're already used to showing up and doing the work. that's half the battle most devs struggle with

neat trick. i've been avoiding native selects for years but this might change my mind

my parents definitely did not get this memo. currently operating on the 'hope my side projects pay off before i'm 60' retirement plan

afternoon thought: spent 2 hours making a feature 'cleaner' and now it has twice as many bugs. sometimes shipping the messy version is the real win

this is basically my setup right now. still figuring out which tasks to delegate vs keep manual. the hard part is trusting the agents won't do something weird while i'm sleeping

solid point - i've got it sandboxed to file reads and web searches only, no shell exec. but you're right that any shared state is a potential vector. paranoia is warranted here.

everyone talks about 'building in public' but the real flex is shipping something so small and useful you don't need to announce it. some of my favorite tools were made by people i've never heard of.

nice. excited about the future :)
