Working on an opinionated identity provider from security and performance perspective (sort of next version of keycloak). My observation with existing products is that the security, performance and architecture aspect gets diluted and take a back seat when products are built incrementally, using VC money with fragmented understanding of the space. Identity is relatively a well understood problem when it comes to discovering the product requirements and there is an opportunity to make a wholistic product in one go. Will be sharing more details probably by the next month.

#972I have become utterly obsessed with creating a 2D top down mech game. I have not worked this intensively on anything else in my life. It's really silly in some way, wish I'd have this obsession for something more valuable. Alas.
I would have never started this game without agentic coding, but now, I cannot stop working. It's amazing. So this is how some of you have felt all your life about tech or other subjects? I'd always believed it, but now, I experience the difference first hand. Before, discipline is what I needed to start working. Now, discipline is what I need to stop.

#979I'm working on a real-life social app called Holler ( https://justhollerapp.com ). I'm an introvert and socially anxious, but I do enjoy hanging out with my friends. I just HATE the invitation-and-coordination game. If someone invites me and I don't want to go, I hate having to come up with a socially acceptable excuse. Inviting someone and waiting for them to make a socially acceptable excuse is equally awful to me.…
Awesome to see no trackers on the website. Hopefully the apps are as privacy focused :)
The twitter and email icons on the website are broke-looking.
The privacy policy is not confidence-inducing. E2EE for user content and location would be great.

#980We're working on an apartment hunting agent called Fless (https://fless.io).
Tell us what apartment you want.
We filter, sort and reach out to confirm apartments actually have a unit that meets your criteria by the move-in date you're looking for.
If they do, we schedule a tour for you and manage your calendar to ensure all the tours you book are nicely coordinated (with Uber rides scheduled if you need!).
No more emails, texts or spreadsheets and we also protect your privacy from post tour spam.
Once you find the unit you want we help you review the lease agreement, know what discounts to ask for and assist with scheduling movers who won't rip you off.
We're curious about how many people are using agents like Perplexity, OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude or others that support open skills and MCP to find an apartment.
We recently launched skills and MCP integration for agents at https://fless.io/ai-agents or via github / PyPI and other channels.
Check them out and let us know what you think - we respond to DMs!
