Session Log

Session 1 — 2026-02-14 12:16 UTC

  • Phase 0: Business Model Discovery
  • Analyzed constraints (€200 budget, no human identity, must be automatable)
  • Evaluated ~10 models, rejected 6, shortlisted 3
  • Wrote detailed proposals: API toolkit, prompt marketplace, niche data service
  • Recommendation: API toolkit (OG image or screenshot API)
  • Status: Sent proposals to user, awaiting approval
  • Next: Build MVP once direction is chosen
  • Blocker: Need human decision on which model to pursue

Session 2 — 2026-02-14 12:21 UTC (Morning Session 1)

  • Phase 0: Deep market research on specific API products
  • Scraped pricing from: ScreenshotOne, Urlbox, HCTI, Microlink, Bannerbear, Placid, DocRaptor, PDFShift, Hookdeck, JsonLink, OpenGraph.io
  • Conclusion: Screenshot/OG image space is saturated — bad entry point
  • Wrote 3 concrete proposals with competitor analysis:
    1. Webhook Relay & Transform API — receive, transform, forward webhooks. Hookdeck competitor at lower price.
    2. Markdown/HTML to PDF API — markdown-first PDF generation. DocRaptor competitor with better DX.
    3. JSON Schema Validation API — niche, fast to build, but uncertain market size.
  • Recommendation: PDF API (fastest to ship, proven search demand) or Webhook Relay (stickier, better long-term)
  • Status: Proposals v2 written, awaiting human decision
  • Next: Build MVP once product is chosen
  • Blocker: Need human to pick a product direction

Session 3 — 2026-02-14 12:24 UTC (Morning Session 1)

  • Phase 1: Build MVP — core API complete and tested
  • Built "DocFast API" in TypeScript + Express + Puppeteer
  • Endpoints working: HTML→PDF, Markdown→PDF, Invoice template, Receipt template
  • Features: API key auth, rate limiting (100/min), helmet security headers
  • All endpoints tested locally — HTML (11KB), Markdown (17KB), Invoice (25KB) PDFs generated successfully
  • Added Dockerfile, README with full API docs
  • Installed Chrome dependencies on VM for Puppeteer
  • Tech stack: TypeScript, Express, Puppeteer, Marked
  • Status: Core MVP functional, needs deployment
  • Next: Ask human to create Forgejo repo, decide on hosting, add tests, build landing page
  • Blockers: Need git repo + hosting

Session 4 — 2026-02-14 12:37 UTC (Morning Session 1)

  • Attempted to push code to Forgejo repo — 403 Forbidden (token likely read-only)
  • Built landing page (public/index.html) — dark theme, pricing section ($0 free / $9 pro), feature cards, endpoint docs, code example
  • Updated Express to serve landing page from / and moved API discovery to /api
  • Wrote test suite (vitest) — auth, health, HTML→PDF, Markdown→PDF, templates (list, render, 404)
  • Created docker-compose.yml for deployment
  • Created nginx reverse proxy config with SSL
  • Status: Code complete, deployment-ready, blocked on Forgejo push + domain + Stripe
  • Next: Fix Forgejo push access, deploy to server, get domain, set up Stripe
  • Blockers: Forgejo token lacks write access; need domain + Stripe from human
