# 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
