@anwarlemu_ @getcontextdev @mynameisyahia Our pleasure 🫡 . On the other hand, anything you feel could be better? Any problems you ran into?

We've spent about $20 this week testing new AI features for Kyo. And I have to say... @getcontextdev is so incredibly cheap (almost all features we have use it yet look at its costs compared to X API). Grateful for you guys @mynameisyahia 🤝

@getcontextdev I think the whole team had 7/7 days of shipping last week, and it's been so fun haha.

it's been a busy sunday folks

@mynameisyahia @getcontextdev tag you're it!

Introducing Tags 📒 Ship tags on every @getcontextdev request. Pass tags: ["customer-42", "prod"] and they land in the usage log. Filter usage by tag(s) to see which customer, feature, env, or batch is using up credits. No impact on responses, pricing, or caching. Just web infrastructure attribution that doesn’t suck. PS: yes, this means you can tell what pages an agent pulled & in what order.

Introducing Parse 📄 → ✨ Turn any file into clean, token-optimized Markdown with a single API call. PDFs. Word docs. Spreadsheets. PowerPoints. Images. HTML. CSVs. Source code. Images. And more. Built-in OCR handles scanned documents and images, while preserving links, structure, and reading order. Stop building one-off file parsers. Send bytes. Get Markdown.

Finally time to close out the series! Been such a journey. Ready for one more good challenge, will be sad once it's over.

Why do invites to platforms still go Receive team invite on email -> create account -> required to confirm email That first click was enough validation. We're over 20 years in and still wasting time on this. That's why @nikhilrado and I just made your first click enough in @getcontextdev. We aim to minimise your time spent with us. Things should just work, fast and efficient.

Introducing Monitors 🕵️‍♂️ A new type of web infrastructure for monitoring websites at scale. If you need to: • Set up 10,000+ monitors programmatically • Support multi-tenant applications • Receive webhooks when pages change • Manage everything through an API ...this is built for you.

Just caught Fable trying to push something directly to `main` without being prompted or suggested. Was watching its thoughts for a moment and caught it luckily. Naughty @claudeai .

@hvost Seems like Prenzlauer Berg is exempt too according to @GeminiApp

Do not start a business in Germany if you ever want to leave. Every few months, I see another founder post about discovering exit tax and realising they essentially can’t move away. Unfortunately, I was in the same situation, and I want more people to know about it. Exit tax forces a business owner to pay tax as if they had sold the company when they leave the country. Here is an example: You live in Germany and want to move to the US. You own 80% of a startup valued at $ 2m. On paper, your shares are worth $ 1.6M. To leave Germany, you may have to pay ~$500K. I had to pay an exit tax myself, and like many others, I didn’t know it existed until I had already decided to leave. I was “lucky” that my LTD don’t have much value, so I only paid a few grand. Exit tax exists to prevent people from leaving for a low-tax country right before a liquidity event, which makes sense. However, it also forces founders who *did not* have a liquidity event to pay tax on money they don’t actually have.

@nielsgeo Heartbreaking :( 💔

Fable saying goodbye to me as it's on 99% use

It's absurd seeing Fable + @AxiomFM MCP in action. Being able to go from error notification to root-cause diagnosis in 10 minutes while we ingest nearly 1M logs per hour is a productivity 10x'er. Better even; it's no dev's dream to manually split logs. Now we can focus on more creative work!

Introducing Webdog AI The open source web monitoring platform. Use it for competitor intelligence, tracking changelogs, or whatever you want to stalk. It can send emails or slack messages. It's literally free, clone it. MIT license

@aaronware Yeah my wife and her family still make fun of me loving pizza Hawaii.

@BeerDrift Oh it wasn't a weird food metaphor, I can completely relate... I always wonder if peoples love of pineapple pizza is legit.

Few days ago I talked to a Vue dev, who upon hearing I'm a React dev went on a rant how Vue is superior. Three weeks ago the same thing happened. Anyone knows why? I don't know a single React dev that is that passionate about putting down another framework. It should be about what you're fastest at. I'm fastest in React, you might be fastest in Vue. All good! We can be friends <3! I like pineapple pizza and maybe you prefer pepperoni. Doesn't mean there should only be one pizza in the world. 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

@aaronware Def honest, I'm just a person who likes explaining things weird metaphors.

@BeerDrift You had me until the 2nd to last sentence... Not sure if honest

@joelhooks Such sad! Where?

@BeerDrift "react devs" shit on other frameworks all the time lol

@mynameisyahia That's a strong vue damn 🥁-tsss

@BeerDrift This is why we don’t use vue

You know you're enjoying your new work at @getcontextdev if you're devving late at night while watching Portugal - Spain ⚽️

The best time to start building is now! If you want to lock in for 3 months and just ship & sell, join us in Berlin at The Sandbox. 3 months in a room together with other builders. No strings attached. Just a support system for upcoming builders. Everything from pure software to robotics, but no need for boundaries in your thinking. You can join alone or with your co-founder. Supported by Anthropic, OpenAI & Runpod (means you'll get some credits) ⬇️

@mynameisyahia @boardyai Well, you heard the Board Yahia!
