@superset_sh is my go to agent command center now. This team is cracked and they ship fast!
Kiet@FlyaKiet

What we shipped last week @superset_sh 1. New Workspace Modal - Streamline the new workspace modal to create from prompt, branch, @linear issue, github PR, etc. with saved inputs so you never lose your prompt. Sends into any agent. 2. More performant file editor - We replaced Monaco with CodeMirror for the built-in diff and file editor. CodeMirror is ~97% smaller (150KB vs 5MB), loads significantly faster, and uses far less memory. More to come here as we add theming to the editor. 3. Realtime filesystem - We rewrote the file system to be real-time and trigger on change instead of the previous polling system. This is more performant and better UX. 4. Cross workspace search - Check the top of the app for a universal search bar that can search by keyword and filename across all workspaces. Universal terminal search coming soon! 5. Pull Request Status - We now poll for pull request and check status so you don't have to leave the app to check for CI state. 6. Revamped icons for files sidebar - It just nicer to look at That's a lot! We're focusing entirely on cloud and mobile now so look out for that :)

@paulbz 100% - nothing beats this feeling. As a founder and now as an investor.

For me as an investor it doesn't get any better than seeing a team find PMF.. going from building, iterating, testing, then one one day - very obvious customer pull

I Incorporation you do once and then don’t have to do again. Paying taxes and state registrations are ongoing, but solvable by money. You hire someone or pay for a service. Public online services in the US lag, but that’s not really what business friendliness is about. The point is not perfect self-serve. It’s closer to enterprise sales: the process can be somewhat Byzantine, but you get the value once you pay for it. Business friendliness is more about being left alone. You don’t have to explain your business plans to the IRS. They don’t dictate much about how or why you fire or how you do layoffs. They don’t get in your way. Raising money, issuing equity, and doing contracts are also more standardized, understood and templatized. In much of Europe, the system still struggles with the idea that someone might start a technology company that is not a local car repair shop, raise funding, generate no revenue for years, and compensate employees with equity that has upside but little present value. The structures often treat this as an anomaly rather than a default path. There is probably a reason you are setting up a us parent company and not the other way around.

Is the US actually that business friendly? I set up a Delaware topco last year. Swedish OpCo underneath. The public sentiment then was "America is incredible for business, Europe is a nightmare." Here's the honest take: The start was great: Incorporation was fast and painless. We didn't even provide ID or passports, which felt almost too easy. No real background check? Mercury gave us a bank account almost instantly. Shoutout @immad. In Sweden that can take weeks for KYC reasons Then things got weird: To register shares for the founding team, we had to send physical UPS letters to a Texas IRS office and wait for them to come back stamped. In Sweden you do this online in two minutes We got our EIN number, but needed the original sent by mail or fax for banking purposes. Mail. Or fax As foreigners, we couldn't even use the IRS online application at all And when the online system IS available, it has restricted hours. A website. With opening hours Then the US government went into shutdown. Everything froze. 40 day wait. Banking put on hold Accounting is a similar story. The US feels 20 years behind Sweden, where everything is online and accessible via BankID All of this drives huge professional services spend Lawyers and accountants just to navigate bureaucracy that shouldn't exist The US wins 0 to 1. Fast, frictionless, incredible private infrastructure But Sweden wins on steady state. More digitized public services, lower compliance overhead, less nonsense. I love America, but "America is so business friendly" is half true. Depends which half of building a company you're talking about

Why do I have to toggle the Mobile Friendly option in DocuSign everytime?! Seems like such a quick fix to enable by default.

@ryanyates1990 @github Over engineered? It’s a bunch of names in a text file we parse with a shell lol. If it can get replaced by something better that’d be FANTASTIC. But it’s the best I’ve got for a problem that needed a solution yesterday.

Sorry @mitchellh this is over engineered and not gonna be adopted by many I don't think Especially as platforms like @github should expose data like how many reports jave been made and outcomes of them like blocks bans etc. Please have a read of this blog.kilasuit.org/2025/08/01/dif…

AI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default. People told me to do something rather than just complain. So I did. Introducing Vouch: explicit trust management for open source. Trusted people vouch for others. github.com/mitchellh/vouch The idea is simple: Unvouched users can't contribute to your projects. Very bad users can be explicitly "denounced", effectively blocked. Users are vouched or denounced by contributors via GitHub issue or discussion comments or via the CLI. Integration into GitHub is as simple as adopting the published GitHub actions. Done. Additionally, the system itself is generic to forges and not tied to GitHub in any way. Who and how someone is vouched or denounced is up to the project. I'm not the value police for the world. Decide for yourself what works for your project and your community. All of the data is stored in a single flat text file in your own repository that can be easily parsed by standard POSIX tools or mainstream languages with zero dependencies. My hope is that eventually projects can form a web of trust so that projects with shared values can share their vouch lists with each other (automatically) so vouching or denouncing a person in one project has ripple effects through to other projects. The idea is based on the already successful system used by @badlogicgames in Pi. Thank you Mario. Ghostty will be integrating this imminently.

Siavash and Kaj are two of the best founders building in Europe right now. I tried to give them money but for a reason that is absolutely baffling to me they chose GC instead. Alas, onwards. For those that think you have to be in SF to build a world leading AI company, wrong. This is our time.
Siavash@siavashg

AI made everyone 10x faster. But the faster individuals move, the harder it is to move together. Speed ≠ Progress when no one has the full picture. Today we emerge from stealth with $5M led by @GeneralCatalyst to fix this. Meet @stillaai : The first Multiplayer AI. 🧵

We have raised $3.4M to solve one of the most critical problems in product development by eliminating the silos between design and code. @modeinspect is defining a new era of product design, where designers and developers can co-build products together without the friction of the traditional design–dev handoff. The round was led by @PartechPartners with strong participation from @CredoVentures and outstanding angel investors including Angel Invest , @michalvasko, @judegomila, @JozefKepesi , @fbjork , @mlejva, @Jakubantalik and others.

In the AI-era VCs are no longer questioning if solo founders need a co-founder. Claude is all you need to ship.

We're launching Lightfield today. It's a CRM designed for founders going zero to one—shaped in the past year by hundreds of founders who took a bet on us and now use it daily, and a waitlist of 20,000 more. When starting out, it takes countless hours of talking to customers to figure out what works. From day zero, Lightfield builds and updates itself from your unstructured conversations with customers. It becomes your customer memory: helping you execute deals, communicate without missing details, and understand patterns across your business. It's free to try. Would love to hear what you think: lightfield.app

I have been using Bun for the last 2 years in Midday for: - runtime - package manager - test runner It's such a no-brainer. On top of this, I have removed a bunch of packages that Bun supports natively, such as the Redis client.
