good question! the tools out there work for a specific shape of business - majority are slot-based, structured, single category. we’re going after the huge chunk of providers those tools don’t fit, the ones still running everything through ig dms. built around the conversation, with booking, payments, and all the tools both sides would need inside it. as for categories, i only listed a few. starting small, aiming to go broad. 🫡

@TristanDemonte Something like this would already be in the market!?? How’s your product different? Or are you guys offering some other services as well??? Also connected G 🫡

Hey founders!!! Looking to connect with people building in: Saas Tech Automation Al tools Product Development Web apps Drop what you're working on 👇

@mytwillot such a cool idea!

@TristanDemonte Love seeing the weird side projects here! I’ve been working on turning scattered Twitter bookmarks and likes into a searchable knowledge base with AI classification. Would love to connect! twillot.com/en

trying to find more people building cool things consumer apps, ai tools, weird side projects, or whatever you’re working on tn. share your project or website and let’s connect 🤝

@jackiechanisme early stage founder here 🙋‍♂️

Everyone I met during Toronto tech week today so far has been: -Early stage founders -Investors -Service providers Which one are you?

image generation skill inside codex (which i believe is just gpt image 2) has been working great. it’s prompts seem to perform a lot better than just copying/pasting a prompt from chat directly for whatever reason. you can also ask it to generate/verify on a loop until it gets to where it needs to be

designers, game devs, anyone with art in your app: how are you generating your art assets? i've been using nano banana for generating pixel art but it can be pretty variable. currently hitting a bit of a wall with it. what tools are you all using & what's been working best?

@Akasheth_ joinbookd.com :)

Drop your project, app or website link below I'll check it out and give honest feedback

@michaelzixizhou @ycombinator @zfellows congrats! love to see this!

I got into @ycombinator S26! The past 6 months have felt like 2 years: - Turned down 7-figure new grad offers at top companies - Bootstrapped until my bank account hit zero - Pivoted 5 times, and did door-to-door sales for a couple of months - Joined @zfellows and flew out to SF last month - Cancelled my return flight to Toronto - Had wonderful neighbours I'd just met crowd-fund my apartment deposit - Got the call from @aroraharshita33 6 hours after my YC interview ...all without telling my mom. Codag is the crystallization of everything I picked up across infrastructure, systems, and platform engineering. Our thesis is that within two years, agents will be the primary consumer of logs, and soon the primary producer of them. Today's observability stack and dashboards were built for humans to look at. Agents are a different reader entirely, and the infrastructure for understanding systems at scale has to be rebuilt for them. That is what we're building. We start with log compression: turning millions of lines into a compact, cited capsule an agent can actually read, so it stops drowning and starts debugging. I cannot believe I get to work on this full time - I wake up every day looking forward to building more. To everyone who made it real: @carterkev, @cory, @aroraharshita33, @amiklas, @nemild for taking the bet, the neighbours who backed a stranger with a laptop, and the countless friends that support me. Thank you. We just published an open source CLI and algorithm for log compression, fully free at codag.ai. If your agent debugs production, I'd love for you to try it, or just to talk. Got a lot more coming soon, and most of it will be open source. Now I should probably call my mom 😰

@DanielSmidstrup i wholeheartedly disagree

hot take: coffee is overrated water wins

@MDALISHANALI2 congrats dude! what are you building?

my tiny app and web app are doing more better than i have ever think 🥳

@isaidmeow_ thanks! and we ended up winning 😮‍💨

@TristanDemonte Fun idea 😄

little easter egg for our toronto users 👀⚾️ also means the homepage tells you your team is down 0-1. i still like it tho.

@CrlynBuild all the time, so many ideas and wanna execute on all of them. but i find that over time it starts to just stress you out, and you miss things you otherwise wouldn’t have. it’s lowk hard to stop, but 1 perfect execution > 5 scattered ones

hear me out: doing less is more i used to be on go go go mode (still kind of am) i had multiple agents running, switching between tab to tab (marketing, product development) all at once now i try to focus on one thing at a time. deeper thinking >> anyone else fighting this?

@amrayupon congrats! love to see it!

Bruh, this is from my first iOS app. 🙈😭

@1Umairshaikh attention gets you nothing without trust.

Founders, what’s more valuable long term? - Attention - Trust

@CrlynBuild yes, but now it refuses to code without one

@TristanDemonte will this optimize my token usage ?

claude still yapping? just not locked in enough? give it a zyn.

@tuanle toronto founder here 🙋‍♂️ building @joinbookd - booking marketplace for local services. pre-launch and bootstrapped so def not in the budget rn, but we’d love to circle back 😅

man, all of our clients are massive US AI companies would love to represent and pump out good content for some Canadian tech companies 🇨🇦👀

@eunjiio Hey, nice to meet you! Working on @joinbookd - solo operators in beauty, detailing, weddings, etc. shouldn’t need 4 different tools to run their booking flow. Building the one they actually want. What about you?

Hi, I'm new to X and looking to #connect with the #buildinpublic and tech communities. I’d love to meet folks in: 🚀 SaaS & Startups 💻 Web or Mobile Developer 🤖 AI product builders What are you guys working on right now?
