- Building a Retool/Looker alternative for internal tools so non-technical teams can build their own without creating busywork for engineers.
- Works like Lovable/Replit with two differences: Got 3,000 integrations out of the box through Pipedream SDK and got access controls in place with embedded auth, backend (django) and database
Analysis done with Claude Code and then Codex to verify. Each agent was given API keys in free tiers to play around and test the sandboxes for various things.
There was an old legendary HN comment around the following concept:
"All things being equal, people buy from their friends. So just make more friends"
If you are confident of your services, just make more friends. Talk to people more. If it is too salesly already, you lost the conversation. Instead try and learn about their lives. I sometimes even open up with "No agenda to sell, genuinely curious"

Started this out by building a spreadsheet controlled by an LLM. Now putting a direct filesystem inside, simplified enough to have programmatic control of slide builders, spreadsheets, terminals and vibecoding applications
This looks awesome. Although from a UX perspective might not be as good as streaming token by token for text generation use cases. However for image gen and editing - 100%
Too many things I wanted to analyse went to nothing because I was too lazy to fetch information and the put it inside a spreadsheet cell by cell. So I developed this to help me extract docs into spreadsheets while also having access to the web.
Now working on a vibe-coded version of it where instead of showing a spreadsheet, it will be able to generate data-focused tiles and apps
