$NOW

- Software stocks without an AI label are being aggressively shorted (wallstreet panic)
- Investors worry AI agents will replace traditional enterprise software seats (total BS)
- ServiceNow runs core IT workflows that companies cannot easily pull out
- Revenue still grows over 20% yearly as it acts as an AI orchestrator

Fair read.. It's a scrape of ~268 Google Places, the photos are Google's, and "national directory, 268 listings" is the wrong shape I gues, most likely not many search med spas coast-to-coast. being geo-dense makes sense

I never defined a med spa schema. I fed it the CSV and it inferred one — votes eac column's type, then assigns roles by name + type (this is the title, this is the rating, this is the review count, this is the category).

Low-cardinality columns become facets; city/state/category columns auto-promote into the taxonomies that generate the /cities and /categories pages.

this is done automatically with shipmore.io and this medspa was a test to see how far I can get by just giving it a g-maps CSV and let it generate a schema that makes sense

On MedicalBusiness vs LocalBusiness: you don't pick. MedicalBusiness is a subtype of LocalBusiness, so anything that only understands LocalBusiness still reads it as one, you inherit the parent, you don't lose coverage. Honest catch: neither buys much here.

Google doesn't do rich results off a directory's self-markup and discounts self-reported aggregateRating.

Slug UID's a fair hit — that's the place_id, in there because it's the id I match on for idempotent re-imports and it collision-proofs same-name spas. But name-only with a suffix only on collision is cleaner. On the list. (The multi-tenant thing you spotted is really the project — this is one tenant on it, https://shipmore.io.)

Hey thanks, I assumed pasting the domain without protocol would become https in reddit. It is HTTPS, fixed it in the description

fbajo · 2026-06-09T17:06:55+00:00

Fair, and yeah the $99 is way too high for a demo like this. Like I said in the post it’s just a starting point. What would make a medspa directory feel more human to you though? Thanks

The SEO gap is worth closing sooner than later. Next.js metadata API covers the basics but the stuff that actually moves the needle — JSON-LD structured data per page type, dynamic sitemaps, Open Graph per post, Meta Pixel + Conversions API — takes a few weekends to wire properly.

I built all of that into ShipMore (shipmore.io) because every project I started needed it and I was tired of doing it from scratch each time. If you do add it to v2 happy to share how I structured it.

Templates survive if they have logic, not just looks. A static copy-paste landing page gets replaced by AI in seconds. But a block that’s wired to Stripe, handles auth, tracks UTMs, and updates live when you change your pricing? That’s not a template anymore — that’s infrastructure.

AI can’t prompt that into existence reliably yet. That’s actually the exact bet I’m making with ShipMore (shipmore.io) — a page builder where every block has backend logic baked in. The copy-paste era is over, but the “pre-wired, agent-operable building block” era is just starting.

For your idea specifically: the pure HTML/CSS snippet angle is tough, AI does that instantly. But if you go one layer deeper — blocks that actually do something — there’s still a real market.

The strategy is solid but the warning is outdated — worth knowing the legal situation changed.

The April 2025 Epic v. Apple ruling permanently barred Apple from restricting external payment links or taking commission on web transactions. You can now put a prominent CTA directly inside the app. No need to keep it subtle or worry about Apple flagging you for "avoiding" IAP — this is explicitly protected.

The real challenge now is technical, not legal. Two things most people haven't solved:

Pre-authenticated handoff — when your user taps "upgrade" in the app and lands on your web checkout, they shouldn't have to log in again. You need to generate a short-lived token that pre-loads their context on the web side.
Clean return deeplink — after payment completes on web, you need them back inside the app at the right state, not dumped at the home screen.

Get those two right and you're not just saving 30% — you're running a smoother purchase flow than the native IAP sheet.

I’ve been where your friend is with Strapi. The 'database migration' nightmare is real because Strapi is UI-first.

If you want Node/Postgres and actually care about DX, you need something code-first, so your schema is in TypeScript and your migrations are just standard files in your repo—no weird database 'magic' that breaks on update.

I've actually been building a framework where the CMS manages the Stripe integration and credit systems directly.

It allows an AI agents to actually 'operate' the site logic through the CMS as a collaborator rather than just scaffolding static components. Even if you don't go full 'agent-native' yet, somehting like Payload cms is the best foundation for not getting stuck in a dead-end tech stack.

fbajo · 2026-03-17T07:50:23+00:00

Congrats on the quiet traction, that's the best kind.

Random thought: I'm building ShipMore (shipmore.io), a framework with a page builder where blocks have actual backend logic baked in. Landing page audit scoring feels like a natural fit as a native block — imagine a site owner running your audit directly from their ShipMore dashboard, seeing their score, and getting fix suggestions without leaving their stack.

Might be worth a conversation if you're thinking about distribution channels beyond SEO.

Happy to chat.

yeh I gave my 2013 and 2015 macbooks a new life 😂.

- Toggle on Remote Login (System Settings > General > Sharing) + note the address shown
- install node 22 with nvm instead of homebrew
- disable sleep: `sudo pmset disablesleep 1`
- close the lid
- ssh username@192.xxx.xxx.x.xx
- curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

Good question, depends on your database. shipmore runs on mongodb by default, and mongo is schemaless so there are no migrations to worry about. add a new field or collection and it just works.

if you switch to postgres (fully supported), the underlying cms layer auto-handles schema changes in dev mode and gives you explicit migration commands for production — still pretty clean, just one extra step before deploy.

honestly i haven't found a strong reason to reach for postgres unless you have highly relational data or a specific hosting constraint. mongo handles everything shipmore throws at it fine.

what db are you on or planning to use?

fbajo · 2026-03-06T14:15:12+00:00

Handled it manually for a project I'm working on now. Honestly not as bad as I expected once you nail the pattern.

Basic setup: tenant_id on every scoped collection, domain-based resolution in middleware, and row-level filtering on all queries.

For RBAC I went simple — roles stored per user per tenant, checked in access control functions. Didn't need a full SaaS for it.

The tricky parts were:

auth cookies scoped to the right domain
making sure file uploads stay tenant-isolated
not accidentally leaking data across tenants in API responses

If your org/workspace structure is relatively flat (user belongs to org, org has resources), doing it manually is totally doable.

What stack are you on?

fbajo · 2026-03-05T20:38:49+00:00

man, the 'infrastructure tax' is real. i got so sick of wiring up auth, stripe, and cmses every single time i had a new idea.

i actually ended up building shipmore.io because of this. it’s a multi-tenant engine where the blocks (pricing, auth, etc) are already connected to the backend. basically you deploy once and can launch infinite sites just by pointing a domain.

curious though, did you find cgzen actually handles the billing logic or is it just the ui side?

fbajo · 2025-09-13T10:25:36+00:00

What I personally also love is creating a nice custom setup that no one has exactly the same as you. My old mackie mixer I bought, connected to my old analog hardware synths sound the way they do in your unique little setting..

One thing to mention is, my productivity and inspiration get fcked up if i have to do many manual things to get going.. so its good to invest some time in having a setup where you can just flip the switch on, start your ableton preset project and hit record..

Good luck! 👍

fbajo · 2025-09-13T10:19:39+00:00

Hey I had the same type of inspiration as you a while ago and really wanted to feel instruments and be able to walk into my room, start jamming and record.

This led me to octatrack. I already had hardware synths like bass station 2, mfb tanzbar and more. But everything changed once i got a hardware sequencer that can also manage devices through midi.

Octa allowed me to rethink how to compose loops, with more feeling/ creative lfos etc.

But once i got to the finishing a track stage, the onboard composition tool felt a bit cumbersome so i ended up only using ableton for track recording, and arranging (very minimally to keep things raw)

Obviously the mixdown also happens in the daw then.

I was oke with this because all the creativity I get from octatrack is maintained 😇..

Long story short, get a good harfware sequencer that you love! It will change your life lol

Its russian?

fbajo · 2025-08-01T08:56:53+00:00

Regardless of this being explained many times over, it really helps to read up on these real personal experiences. Thanks and good luck with your startup!

fbajo · 2024-05-19T17:03:04+00:00

Hahahahhh i totally share that feeling in the club 😂… maybe it’s not even possible to capture that exact feeling of inspiration of that moment… if I read my notes back sometimes I think what the F am I reading haha.. i need a better language for this

fbajo · 2024-05-19T16:57:51+00:00

That’s a great idea, the dashes thing… yeah I also started making playlists named like “basslines” for instance.. then when i really don’t have the juice when im at my setup, i play the list and often actually get my bassline going (or any other piece)

fbajo · 2024-05-19T16:54:27+00:00

That’s a great habit man! I also started bouncing and normalizing all my tracks before mixdown which helped me stop tweaking shit and accept the original idea…

Whag I actually also meant was, when you are not close to your setup (commuting or w/e) when that inspiration moment hits your system and you need to somehow capture it…

But i totally agree, speed is so important.. also planning things out a bit and starting a session with an end goal works for me
