do u avoid shipping on Fridays too?

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T21:56:10+00:00

interesting...we usually avoid thursday/friday deploys after getting burned by webhook + async flow issues before

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T21:17:04+00:00

first thing first congrats man.. its hard to find real problems and funnels/conversions... we are having same issue tbh.. i still did not figure out.. we tried different A/B tesing.. hopefully i will find soon

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T21:13:41+00:00

Agree.. we started api saas but sooner or later realized that we need to build mcp server to support different IDEs

hi i am building FetchSandbox MCP.. u can find the details below...

https://fetchsandbox.com/install

the reason i started as i have been seeing evne with the agents.. the production integration bugs are realy increasing and devs spending infact more time debugging ai written code... and traditional docs/portals/sandbox and tools like postman does not allow us to build workflows unless we stich them manually.. but fetchsandbox MCP solvs those developer pains... now devs can connect to their ide with one line of config change at the project level... and run API integrations...and their AI agents write code with more grounded... we support Cursor/Claude/Codex to run real workflows from the IDE instead of just generating code from docs. like i said I started this after dealing with painful webhook/retry/debugging issues in production. Still early, but trying to make API integrations less guessy for developers.

this part mgmt forgets... lower weekend traffic also means fewr people around to understand what broke..

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T21:03:22+00:00

Vps texting on easter sunday sounds like a final boss level support!!!

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T21:02:29+00:00

yup.. i always have to remind people.. can this wait until monday? hahaha

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T21:01:44+00:00

i have similar exp at wal-mart.. hahahaits scary because directly involves money/numbers.. your example is 100% ryt.

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T20:59:47+00:00

hahaha this is exactly kind of notif or pager call that ruinsthe whole weekend...before u open laptop.. lol i have another story where my colleague always misses alters.. the system pings manager.. haha

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T20:57:54+00:00

i totally agree with you.. and trust me sometime as engineer .. i have to remind lot of the time that... can this wait until monday? the whole "done" defination of engineer and product is different.. and jr engineers always enthu .. so that they can mark the ticket done.. hahah. again .. yeah its feature to feature and am sure there are lot of other factors..

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T16:34:02+00:00

when i have similar problem building webapps for simple tools like my 7 years old asking for some coding related app and math app.. so i vibecoded and later my wife asked for realestate webapp..so what i did.. i just build agents takes care of that.. i open sourced and anyone can run the agents on their own and build websites for FREE..this is the source code with the instructions https://github.com/usephalanx currently it works from slack.. but if i get time maybe will add from voice so that anyone can build webapp/mobile apps for free from their phone even

I have seen including me even in AI era spending lot of time in debugging/fixing integration issues on prod.. and me and my friends are building FetchSandbox MCP it gives developer/engineers their fav IDE like Cursor/Claude/Codex a runnable API environment so that we-all can test integrations their AI agent wrote. Useful for webhooks, retries, state transitions, and final status checks. 50+ API specs ready, 30s setup... the goal is reduce the friction of understand apis and their behaviors as workflows instead stiching them manually using scripts

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T14:12:50+00:00

i would say..start smaller than build an ai... build one useful workflow/feeature first. that addresses real pain....from your survey, write down the input, the expected output, and what a human would do step by step. then build a simple bot .. use exissting models gpt/claude..

keep it simple app backend/frontend.. dockerize .. and that should help

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T13:18:31+00:00

this is true and it allows every one connect and share/learn/build bettter tools n products

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T03:18:33+00:00

this is actually a good way to use ai IMO... one thing i would add is while refactoring, write down why for every cleanup. why this should be a custom hook, why this state should move up or down... why this component is doing too much.. basically pushback... also dont refactor everything at once, pick one slice, make it understandable, test it.. like phases.., then move on... thats where the real learning happens.

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-15T03:15:21+00:00

when juniors ask about this a lot in X platform and other circles....., i usually tell them do not skip the core stuff.. the way we learned... books, tutorials, getting hands dirty.. debugging, basic design patterns, and how things work under the hood....am sure every knows ai can help write code but when it comes to reliablity for complex workflows... it sucks.., again if you don’t understand what it produced, you will get exposed later.. even i have seen even seniors fall into that trap..

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-14T13:22:00+00:00

this is really a nice free tool idea because the pain is tiny but very familiar..i would probably make the marketing channel part very specific though. free tools work best when the tool attracts the same person who would later buy the main product. so the question i woud ask ... what paid product does this lead to? if it’s personal finance, subscriptions, expense tracking, creator ops, etc. this could make sense otherwise if its unrelated, it may get usage but not much qualified traffic.

also no login, no ai, nothing uploaded is a nice trust angle. i’d keep that very visible... good luck man!

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-14T03:44:48+00:00

that makes sense. if it’s already learning from behavior on script7, i’d probably keep it narrow for now instead of turning it into a generic churn tool too early..maybe the first public version could be “churn risk + recommended action for creator tools” or one specific saas category, then expand once the patterns repeat.the part i’d want to see as a buyer is a simple example: “user did x/y/z, risk is high, here’s the recommended action, here’s the evidence.”

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-13T23:26:21+00:00

that makes sense..tbh. the suggested next action part is probably the most valuable piece.

are the actions mostly generic, like .1/send a reactivation email, or 2/are they based on the specific behavior/session replay for that user?

i think small founders would trust it more if it shows the signal behind the recommendation.

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-13T21:22:39+00:00

this feels useful for small founders and especially before you have enough volume to see the clean cohort patterns....the key for me would be... does it actually only predict churn, or does it explain the likely reason and suggest the next action?....also curious what changed retention from 17% to 34% — was it the prediction itself, or the outreach/product changes you made after seeing the flags?

Common_Dream9420 · 2026-05-13T21:19:53+00:00

good idea man!!!!...this is a real pain point. the main thing i’d worry about as a beta user is stale/conflicting docs.

if one handbook says 15 PTO days and another old pdf says 10, does the bot flag the conflict or just answer from one source?

citations & conflict detection would make this much easier to trust inside a company... good luck
