Today we are launching our unified gateway product - call 200+ models from 30+ labs - lower price point than openrouter - openai compatible API AND sansa-auto is now transparent: - see exactly what model was called - only pay for what you need We want to build the go to API for building AI products What would you like to see from Sansa?

@chams_builds Good luck Chams! I’m here for it!

I'm merging three of my own products into one. ReplyWisely, TwitPly, and TwitMix were all solving pieces of the same problem. Today they become one Chrome extension that sits on top of X. Less surface area. Sharper story. One tool instead of three. Day 1. Follow along.

@Devinbuild I keep watching this video hoping the jacket and running route will line up perfectly

Getting back into running

@TechWithMatteo That’s cool, hopefully the reason you where at the hospital wasn’t to bad?

@Jbm_dev mine was a hospital waiting room during a family thing, had my laptop on my knees pushing a fix that had been blocking me for days

on a $15M renovation site today laptop is on a sawhorse running sansa evals between walkthroughs what's the weirdest place you've shipped from?

@justinhammon_ Hahaha the kitchen counts as edgy if you compare it to a few years ago

@Jbm_dev lol you have me beat. I thought my kitchen was "edgy"

@ifioknkem @real_rehaan Yeah a is definitely dangerous, there is almost no signal but it feels like one

@real_rehaan @Jbm_dev for me, its A. A is the most dangerous... because it feels like validation while quietly meaning nothing. A user who "loves it" but doesn't use it OR DIDN'T TRY IT has already made their decision. They're just being kind about it.

what’s worse to hear from a user: a) “I love this” but they never try it b) “I don’t get it” c) “how is this different than…” c has been a big struggle for us lately, but I think b is worse?

@megh_anjana Yeah that is a tough one, have you gotten it before?

@Jbm_dev "i love this" and disappearing later lol

@AlxTurovski Yeah I think the tough part with b, is that it’s like a bias they already are showing. I guess it also probably means the explanation is not right haha

@Jbm_dev Either a or b. Don’t know what’s actually worse. Maybe b is worse as they might not come back for an explanation. With a you still have a chance to convince them to try. I think

@TravelerOfCode Yeah I think you are right about that. Also, a great executor will pivot early

@Jbm_dev b every time. a bad idea with great execution teaches you everything. a great idea with bad execution just gives you regret

what’s worse for a startup: a) great idea, terrible execution b) terrible idea, great execution genuinely unsure

@auditormusic19 Yeah I think you’re right about that mate!

@Jbm_dev Great idea, terrible execution! Because execution is the only thing that matters

@khan_kilo That must be brutal! We get them via LinkedIn messages sometimes, and I honestly think they might be AI messages like automated inbound response agents or something

@Jbm_dev Had a reddit post with only As haha

@justinhammon_ Yes, great point! I think that’s how a lot of great startups are made actually

@Jbm_dev My take is A. Because someone else can come up and execute it perfectly, stealing your idea and your base.

@mpmeishi Contacts app? Interesting, not a big pain point for me, I can imagine it might be for sales folks?

@Jbm_dev Thanks, Joshua. We believe we started out with a great idea: a privacy-first contacts app that automatically updates data. An ethical alternative to those from Apple and Google. We’ll see if users agree with us. If you’re interested, check out the link in our bio.

@rajnagulapalle Yeah for sure, without great execution it just may never see the light of day

@Jbm_dev bad execution hides signal… So..you can’t tell if it’s the idea or you…

@eve_silb This is cool, are the animations SVG like Lottie?

What is everyone working on this weekend?

@ThinkLiveChoose Yes

@Jbm_dev yes

@jakeongrowth Yeah, but maybe the idea is terrible for some other reason? Maybe the idea is terrible because it’s just not very profitable, or the market doesn’t exist yet.

@Jbm_dev I’d say (b) is worse. You’re just building something people don’t want. Even if you execute really well, in the end it still won’t work

@matt_building93 Yeah I agree, without execution even the best idea may never even end up in front of a single customer

@Jbm_dev I think by definition it has to be terrible execution. If you can’t execute operations of a successful business then you simply won’t have a successful business.

@MoSuvo I feel like B is much more likely to succeed though, without execution the good idea may never see the light of day

@Jbm_dev B fails faster and cheaper. A will burn two years before the founder admits the idea was the problem.
