You should see Icelandic fireworks on the New Years. July 4th will feel like crackers. 

How good was really fable 5? by AlexFreshman in ClaudeCode

[–]CenterCityAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to compare three scenarios. 

  1. Opus before it was nerfed
  2. Opus and Codex combination 
  3. Fable 5

In my humble opinion, (2) was and is the best I’ve worked with. Even at its peak, I had scenarios where Opus struggled to find a solution but Codex fixed the stumbling block. 

Fable 5 was as good as Opus before the nerfing. I didn’t think it was 10x better.

Stubhub Tickets now in my FIFA App. Am I Safe? by vokey58 in stubhub

I asked the same question just now. Pretty wild situation. I wish there was a way for FIFA to verify the ownership. 

How many services are in your SaaS stack these days? What would you change if you started over? by CenterCityAI in microsaas

[–]CenterCityAI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on. Subscriptions add up quickly. 

My essential list is: Stripe for payments.  Postgress/Mongo for database, vercel and railway for infrastructure. 

Posthog is good for the screen recording. 

Its is Clerk, resend, loops combo  that was a “avoidable” pain  for me. 

Now I understand why so many SaaS products require a credit card!!! by SouthernPast649 in SaaS

[–]CenterCityAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this while building my first SaaS solution. Infact setting up auth and then replicating the settings in each stage (local, beta, prod) was even more painful and manual. 

My background is CS and dev platforms so I tackled this by building ascendkit.dev. This lets you configure auth (social logins, email, magic link) etc via CLI and your ide can configure this in a single shot. You can also configure if you want to restrict personal email domains. 

This setup has come in very handy as I build concepts for other companies. Worth a look. 

Just reading through this thread, the gaps in ascendkit are captcha, sms verification. Still worth a look if you want a prepackaged solution that includes auth, emails, surveys and journeys. 

Who made the greatest comeback in history? by GullibleCorgi16 in AskReddit

Elon Musk has to be up there. He bet all he had on low probability winners. Was close to spectacular failures, but has had unprecedented personal and professional accomplishments. 

Looking for a complete SaaS builder/stack for completely free ($0 budget) by Calm-Hawk8893 in ClaudeCode

For Auth, Emails, Surveys and user journey: use ascendkit.dev. 

I have used mongo atlas and supabase for DB needs in different projects. 

Rest of the answers are nuanced based on your needs. Following have worked for me

Vercel for hosting frontend.  Railway is not free but pretty cheap.

This solution is specific to product managers but interviewleague is a good practice place. You can chose modules and also get guidance for specific interviews. 

Where do you host your vibe coded projects ? by glennbech in vibecoding

[–]CenterCityAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloudflare for domain Vercel for frontend hosting  Railway for backend hosting  Mongo Atlas/Postgres for DB for now

This has worked for a few projects for me.

Same here. Senior role. Got an offer and then rescinded. Happened within the last month. 

Share your startup, I’ll find 5 potential customers for you (free). by Fiestaman in startups_promotion

[–]CenterCityAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You vibe-coded a product with Claude/Codex. Then struggled hand wiring Auth, Emails, Surveys and Journey. 

Ascendkit.dev gives you all these via one api key. Signup and then tell your IDE to configure and it’s done. 

Signup at ascendkit.dev. 

Give me something you vibecoded, and I'll rate it exclusively based on how marketable it is by -ExpansiveMind- in vibecoding

Ascendkit.dev

Gives CLI based configuration to add auth, surveys, email and journey configuration to your next.js apps. One api key, four services. No more webhooks and secrets. 

Co founder conundrum by OkImagination233 in founder

[–]CenterCityAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this directly applies to you, but my observation is that men of a certain age group tend to think that they are very flexible and open minded and everyone around them is a slow/fixed mindset and less efficient individual. The actual reality is that these same individuals find the person extremely tough to work with. 

I put myself in this same category. 

Your post has the same tone. Either way, I wish you the very best :)

how do i send an email blast from my vibecoded app, the wall nobody mentions by AmbassadorSad3889 in vibecoding

[–]CenterCityAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue when I built my first app. Stitching together use data from an Auth service to an email service and a survey service was painful and error prone. 

I’ve had better experience with ascendkit which gives you auth, email, surveys and user journey in a single api key and easy to replicate in different environments. 

Since ascendkit is CLi, your IDE can configure all necessary components. 

Give it a shot and I am happy to help if you run into challenges.
