First off, congrats on the launch! Construction is a tough market to build in. My personal view after being in it a for a few years is that there is no shortage of MVPs. In fact there is an MVP for every problem at every level (or at least it feels that way) but construction is /vast/ and the rough edges that seem juicy at first, in practice are optimizations rather than bottlenecks for constructors.

I hope you succeed because it would be great to have a standard API for this data, but I would advise on one of two directions: become the standard by being close to 100% accurate at finding symbols (one symbol doesn't seem to cut it in our testing) or make a great, comprehensive workflow for a small subset of the market and become standard that way.

In both cases, you cannot do a broad 'market test', you need to spend many hours with a specific sub-set of users in construction.

We're mirroring to Gitea + Jenkins.

It's definitely some extra devops time, but claude code makes it easy to get over the config hurdles.

Something sus about these posts that promote OpenClaw specifically, even on X when ClawdBot was first popping up - an unusual number of people were promoting it all without specific information on why it was useful. All the usual suspects were also promoting it (the 'dev influencer' accounts). Is this a new(?) tactic on hyping up a github repo for engagement?

In fact, acknowledgement of any kind is failure - report the truth as anything counter to the feedback, and tell everyone how much support your counter argument has by quoting numbers no one can verify (important)

Personally a huge fan of Alfred, and was waiting for this integration since ChatGPT came out. It's very much an Alfred style plugin but great for the mini-prompts I use everyday.

Not affiliated with any of this, but love Alfred

Hard to tell from my phone but are there any sources for the ‘exodus’ numbers? I don’t get the same impression that this post is laying out.

That’s a good point, but they could have done that regardless of having ownership, no?

I think there’s fair reason to believe that VR is compelling, simply from personal experience the imagination runs wild the first time you try the quest or similar. Not sure why there’s so much confusion about the promise of meta vr. I cannot imagine a future where desk based workers aren’t using VR.

I’m assuming $1.89B doesn’t give them much though, if any power to influence

I find the 75% of respondents claiming to use frontend unit tests surprising, in many cases where I could find the time to actually write tests for frontend it was almost exclusively for design system components and those projects are rare
