... shipped? Five integrations now recognize the bugs people actually hit and prove the fix with a real before/after: Stripe, Paddle, Clerk, AgentMail, Descope. Not "we support the API," but "we catch the specific way it breaks." Chaos-order proof for billing webhooks. One of you asked whether we could prove a Paddle subscription survives webhooks arriving in any order. We built it, and then went deeper, to the failure devs actually fear: a paused customer silently getting their access back ... ... test coverage, then verified every suggestion against the real engine before trusting it. It surfaced 5 false positives we'd otherwise have shipped. We spent days trying to break our own work: malformed inputs, adversarial routing, the proof

... what the actual job entails. Developers have noticed. Only 12% of developers use LinkedIn as their main source of technical information, according to a Stack Overflow survey. Most are on the platform purely because they feel they have no alternative, not because they find it genuinely useful. The Fake Everything Problem LinkedIn has a trust problem that is getting dramatically worse, not better. In the second half of 2024, LinkedIn identified and removed 80.6 million fake accounts at the point ... ... just who has employed you. Where verification comes from the work itself rather than from unchecked self-reporting. That is a fundamentally different kind of professional profile than LinkedIn offers. And it is what builders increasingly need as the proof

... hiring manager, I couldn't trust resumes. My team wasted so much time on screening calls, only to find the candidates weren't a match. There was no real proof-of-work, and with AI now writing resumes, the noise is just getting worse. As a candidate, it was just as frustrating. My past work didn't help me get better roles; it felt like I was starting over every single time because my performance signals were buried ... ... company HR tools that no one could see. Badge is proof

... here. Most professions cannot show their actual work easily. Developers can. You can deploy something for free, document it properly, and let anyone in the world click through it. The problem most builders have is not a lack of proof of work. It is that the proof

... Zaitzow(@dzaitzow): @anna_ludwinowski I guess if I really think about it - it helps solve the 1 to many problem for lead capture - making every lead get something really unique at the end of the intake survey / quiz funnel VS being bucketed in a segment that MAY apply to them and their specific circumstance. Here is the product and we're live today if anyone feels like poking around! @stacywycof83995 @oshylabs @thenameisarian @virko_kask if you feel like checking ... ... Comment from Anna Ludwinowski(@anna_ludwinowski): @getosmo  "The receipt IS the scope" - YES, that's a sharper way to collapse messaging and product into the same thing. Most people treat those as two separate problems (what we say vs

... opensource version and made our own chat app that is encrypted. Comment from The Proof Founder(@theprooffounder): For me right now it s: 1. Cursor fast app/project editing 2. Factory agent-style coding workflows 3. Codex code changes and repo tasks 4. Claude long-context planning and review 5. ChatGPT product planning, launch work, debugging, and second opinions Honorable mentions: VS

... examples instead of theory. Comment from Sarvesh Chidambaram(@sarveshsea): I think specificity is the antidote. Real screenshots, actual workflows, named constraints, founder notes, and opinionated positioning beat polished generic content. AI can help make assets, but the taste and proof still need to come from the maker. Comment from zg r S(@ozgurds): Lets question the other way around. Why do we need to stand out ? I mean how many real users really care if a content is created ... ... campaign can be clever or physical, but if the follow-up page, founder posts, replies, and screenshots all sound like the same generic assistant wrote them, the trust leaks out fast. For small teams I d start with proof

... everyone, I m soft-launching VeilScan today. It s a proof-based external vulnerability scanner for startups, SaaS teams, fintech products, and lean technical teams. The problem I m trying to solve is simple: Most small teams ship fast, but they don t always know what their external attack surface looks like. Traditional scanners often return long noisy lists, but not enough clear proof

... done, it lives on someone else's domain, or worse, behind a login screen you can't share. So when a recruiter or client asks "can I see your work?", the honest answer is complicated. The work exists. The proof doesn't. And that gap costs people jobs. I've been thinking about this problem for a while, which is why I built Krilarr - a verifiable developer portfolio platform that lets your work speak with evidence, not just screenshots. With ... ... Krilarr, developers can: Showcase real projects with verified proof

... built Exotic Reptile Care before I had any audience partly because I just needed the app to exist, partly because building in public before you have something real to show feels backwards. The product is the proof. The brand follows naturally when people actually use it. Comment from Akshay Bhardwaj(@akshay_bhardwaj23): I think both has its advantages. Having a good personal brand can help you easily sell the product initially, a stage where most founders struggle, though ... ... this way for TAM Network. aug 12. the receipts ARE the marketing. Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): we did both. shipped the v1 with 22 real humans then started building the brand around the thesis. building TAM Network. an alternative

... Built something I think this community will find useful. Krilarr is a verifiable developer portfolio platform. You create Proof Cards, structured portfolio items that capture what you built, the outcomes it produced, and link to real evidence (live URLs, repos, metrics). Then you share one clean profile link instead of a PDF resume or a GitHub that needs explaining. The Pro tier ($3.99/mo) includes an AI Proposal Assistant that turns your Proof

... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... person asking loudly means nothing. 47 people asking quietly over six months means build it.

... they have an optimized website, and if they are showing up in AI search results like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity. Each business gets a Need Score (0-100) so you instantly see who's desperate for help vs. who's already handled. No more guessing. But I didn't want a data tool; I wanted a closing tool.

This a shareable link showing them exactly where they're losing visibility. Whether it is an unclaimed listing, a 2.8-star rating with zero owner responses, or a total absence from AI search results, it's proof

... from Memi Lavi(@memi_lavi): I would suggest looking at it the other way around: Define what's the conversion rate you want to see, and work from there. The Freemium model is always a trade-off: Collecting users vs making income. The balance dictates the conversion rate. I'm currently thinking about the exact same question for a product I'm working on, and this is how I try to think of it: When considering the free/paid features ... ... other hand - a not-so-happy free users will never become paid ones, and users, even free ones, are a great resource that can be used for other endeavors. So first I think about the goal - free users vs

Let's break down the reality. The Immediate Impulse: Seeking Concrete Proof The desire to know the truth after betrayal is understandable. When words feel empty, data can seem like the only source of objective reality. The thought process often is: "If I can just see the proof
