Building in public means posting the numbers that aren't good. July: 23 posts, ~170 impressions, zero signups. Skybloom has 16 beta users — every one came from a DM or email. So I'm cutting back on company posts. More time goes into talking to people directly. #buildinpublic

Thanks for all the great feedback on my #PyOhio talk — "Beyond Vibe Coding: a spec-driven AI workflow for serious development." Guardrails first. Spec before code. Refine in a fresh context. One phase at a time. This is how I built @skybloom.ai solo in ~5 months. #Python #AI #buildinpublic

I've been getting a lot of great questions about Skybloom's protection of personal data, so I wrote a blog post going deeper into it. Check it out, and I'm happy to answer any further questions.

"Not used to train AI models" gets said a lot and explained rarely. We wrote up exactly what happens to your words in Skybloom — what's stored, what our AI providers can and can't do with them, and what you control. No hand-waving. #privacy #dataprivacy #aiethics skybloom.ai/blog/what-no...

I'm building @skybloom.ai solo — one founder, a tiny budget, shipping in public. The itch: my health lived across apps and chat threads that forget me — and every AI that could help wanted to train on my words. So I'm building the one I wanted: private by default. #buildinpublic #indiedev

Sounds like a great idea. Healthcare is so difficult to change, but we should certainly try.
