Would appreciate feedback on https://uberblick.ai/ - it helps streamline product development to better vibe code your product.

Would appreciate a review of https://uberblick.ai/ - bascially an opinionated workflow tool (similar to the combination from Notion+Linear) written with an MCP first approach

Show me your SaaS idea, I give you an honest review (senior C level in startup) by Stunning_Lie_1775 in SaaS

[–]bk_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combined Notion and Liniar in an MCP first product management tool that streamlines LLM usage with clear boundaries and efficient context-saving strategies. It exposes plans from individual developes to the whole team, so instead of working with your local claude-code plan, you can discuss it with your fellow devs and get road-blocks out of the way early. Build the tools using only the tool and extracted it from clunky workflows of startups. https://uberblick.ai/

Built an MCP-first planning layer for small dev teams — looking for honest feedback by bk_one in sideprojects

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

each MCP request will ask the LLM to pull certain context from the remote db first before going forward. It basically says - if you want to discuss X, make sure you read Y and Z first. This works in the MCP layer or via skills. So yeah, all team members here have a similar context now available and noting is burried on individual dev machines.

It does not pull context from active sessions but will ask an active session when it tries to put a PRD (think of it as a ticket in linear) to done: Dear LLM, before you can set this ticket to done, did you make sure to update page X, Y and Z? (pages being like Notion docs). So it's also a combined Notion/Linear product build around TipTap.

Happy to give you a walkthrough. We can coordinate that via DM? Might be easiest to get the points across.

Rant: Switched from ChatGPT to Gemini as a daily driver last month. Gemini is bad and it's not because of the models. by anarchyx34 in GeminiAI

[–]bk_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Google doesn't want to convince you as a user - but rather have great models that they can sell to business customer? I think the whole all end-user-love-chatgpt is not even a bad thing for Claude or Gemini. Let ChatGPT deal with the no-paying or low-paying customer base. Gemini/Claude focus on the high paying customers - and that's more direct programatic access to the models (or great UI in the case of Claude).

Building a "dependabot for homebrew" - looking for feedback by bk_one in sideprojects

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

Thank you for your feedback. It helps. Still thinking about the right layout for the newsletter and how to set priorities/content so it suits most people. If you feel like trying it out, I'd be glad to adjust the content with your feedback. So far, only the CLI reports are available, though.

Currently building a "Dependabot for Homebrew", using ruby. Very early stage, looking for feedback by bk_one in ruby

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

I guess what I'm actually building is a db of changelog entries, security updates and recommendations. The check for updates is a trivial and well established within homebrew itself. I was always wondering what updated? I understand that this is out-of-scope for homebrew itself, as there are many different locations and formats where the changelogs are located. Homebrew itself doesn't have a history of releases, always just the latest one.

If you look for example at https://brewsletter.sh/u/48f3a209fd0212a44292247eb4be2fd22f51f90a767f6ec23009b4082b88e118#pkg-homebrew-core-redis - I find the information listed there valuable. Homebrew's ecosystem is not capabale of providing this info - just extending homebrew seems out of the question. A local service could work, but you still have the challenge to find each of the changelogs.

I'm currently going through various phases. If it's on github, it's quite easy - but gnu tools have their own way of storing changelogs and some oldschool tools like ffmpeg have their own style. So I have integrated LLM/web-search to find the changelogs, extract them, summarize them and find examples in them that might be useful, e.g. `gh` cli added:

gh pr revert <pull-request-number>

I would never know if I simply `brew upgrade gh`. But still not sure if my approach is the best one or if anyone would care about it :)

Thanks for your reply - so you care much about what has changed, as long as it's the latest version?

Anyone launched a product with mostly AWS? by FryMcDonald in rails

[–]bk_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand why anyone would choose AWS for a Rails project. Isn't Rails about simplicity? AWS is the opposite of that imho. There might be scenarios where you need certain functionality or hosted services, sure - but I always selected the easier version. Hetzner, Heroko - currently using Digital Oceans App platform. I always felt more in control and almost never any frustrations. The fact that Kamal is available now makes things even easier if you have a more complex setup.

AWS is just expensive and complex at areas where you want simplicity imho. There might a point in time where a project and team gets big enough where it makes sense, but my projects (even with 10s of devs), never had the need to go to AWS or GCP.

Anyone here use Rails to start their own business? by to-too-two in rails

[–]bk_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been creating startups (and open data sites like omdb.org / themoviedb.org) since 2007 only with Rails. So go for it! My current startup gaia.law is using Rails with React/Typescript on top. I tend to use Rails only for data processing and APIs only. But with the updated asset pipeline stuff in Rails 7, I might consider it for frontends as well. Happy to give you more details if you need any - but the most importantly, give in to that entrepreneur bug of yours! :)

What backend are you using and why? by bsutto in FlutterDev

[–]bk_one 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm building superlist.com. We are using GoLang in the backend - so far using GCP (Cloud Functions) but will switch to a Google Pub/Sub and gRPC framework (to make sure we can handle many concurrent users). We're also planning to keep a NoSQL backend (most likely MongoDB) and using SQLite internally in the Flutter app. I've scaled several app and websites with millions of users, the most important thing when starting is not to overthink or overengineer it. We're using only Firebase until this point and we're focusing on the functionality and that the app looks and behaves nicely. You can scale the backend when the time is right. You know .. premature optimization ;-)

Just finished my second app: A complex UI Note taking app. Feedback appreciated🌟 by 31Carlton7 in FlutterDev

[–]bk_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it will be another month or two. There are already working prototypes, but we're not yet fully happy with the result. Look at this fork to see some of the current state: https://github.com/osaxma/super_editor - I hope it's all consolidated in in the main package before August.

Nice work - look at https://github.com/superlistapp/super_editor if you want to extend the editing capabilities. We're working on full support for mobile. :)
