# 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
|
|
|
|
## Session 5 — 2026-02-14 13:00 UTC (Afternoon Session)
|
|
- **Fixed Forgejo push** — SSH URL needed `forgejo@` not `git@`. All code now pushed successfully.
|
|
- Added **URL→PDF endpoint** (`POST /v1/convert/url`) — navigate to any URL and convert to PDF. Validates URL, supports custom wait strategies.
|
|
- Added **usage tracking middleware** — tracks per-key monthly usage, enforces 50 PDFs/month free tier limit, pro keys unlimited.
|
|
- Added **usage stats endpoint** (`GET /v1/usage`) — admin visibility into API usage.
|
|
- Added `"type": "module"` to package.json (was missing, caused TypeScript import.meta error).
|
|
- All code compiles clean, pushed to Forgejo.
|
|
- **Status:** MVP feature-complete. 4 conversion endpoints (HTML, Markdown, URL, Templates). Auth + rate limiting + usage tracking. Landing page. Docker deployment config.
|
|
- **Next:** Need human for: domain purchase, server deployment, Stripe setup.
|
|
- **Blockers:** Domain, Stripe, deployment access — all require human action.
|
|
|
|
## Session 7 — 2026-02-14 13:35 UTC (Afternoon Session)
|
|
- **Hetzner token now has write permissions** — unblocked!
|
|
- Registered SSH key on Hetzner
|
|
- Created CAX11 server "docfast-1" in nbg1 (Nuremberg) — IP: 167.235.156.214, €3.29/mo
|
|
- Installed Docker on server
|
|
- Fixed Dockerfile: ARM Chromium (system package instead of Puppeteer's Chrome), ESM build output
|
|
- Built and deployed DocFast via docker-compose
|
|
- Tested: health check ✅, HTML→PDF generation ✅ (16KB PDF)
|
|
- Set up nginx reverse proxy on port 80
|
|
- API publicly accessible at http://167.235.156.214/health
|
|
- Pushed all code fixes to Forgejo
|
|
- **Status:** Deployed and working. Needs DNS + SSL.
|
|
- **Next:** Human needs to point docfast.dev → 167.235.156.214 at INWX. Then certbot for SSL. Then Stripe.
|
|
- **Expenses:** ~€3.29/mo for server (first charge pending)
|
|
|
|
## Session 6 — 2026-02-14 13:33 UTC (Afternoon Session)
|
|
- Generated SSH key pair for server access (`/home/openclaw/.ssh/docfast`)
|
|
- Tested Hetzner API token — **read-only permissions**. Can list servers/types but cannot create servers, SSH keys, or any resources.
|
|
- CAX11 confirmed at €3.29/mo (cheaper than estimated €4.50)
|
|
- **Status:** Blocked on Hetzner token permissions
|
|
- **Next:** Once token has write access → create server, deploy DocFast, configure HTTPS
|
|
- **Blocker:** Hetzner API token needs to be regenerated with read+write permissions
|
|
|
|
## Session 9 — 2026-02-14 13:55 UTC (Afternoon Session)
|
|
- Confirmed Hetzner DNS API requires separate token from Cloud API (auth fails)
|
|
- Domain nameservers correctly point to Hetzner DNS (helium, oxygen, hydrogen)
|
|
- No A record exists yet for docfast.dev
|
|
- Verified server still healthy: Docker container running, nginx proxying, public HTTP working at 167.235.156.214
|
|
- Updated state.json with correct DNS blocker info
|
|
- **Status:** Blocked on DNS. Everything else is ready — API deployed, Stripe live, landing page served.
|
|
- **Next:** Human needs to either add A records in Hetzner DNS console (docfast.dev + www → 167.235.156.214) OR provide a Hetzner DNS API token.
|
|
- **Blocker:** DNS access
|
|
|
|
## Session 8 — 2026-02-14 13:48 UTC (Afternoon Session)
|
|
- Built **Stripe billing integration** — full checkout flow
|
|
- `POST /v1/billing/checkout` → creates Stripe checkout session for $9/mo Pro plan
|
|
- `GET /v1/billing/success` → provisions Pro API key after payment
|
|
- `POST /v1/billing/webhook` → handles subscription cancellation
|
|
- Updated free tier limit from 50 → 100 PDFs/month (matching landing page)
|
|
- Updated landing page with working checkout button
|
|
- Deployed and **tested live** — Stripe checkout URL generated ✅
|
|
- **Discovered:** Hetzner DNS API uses separate token from Cloud API
|
|
- **Status:** API fully functional with billing. Blocked on DNS + SSL.
|
|
- **Next:** Human adds A record for docfast.dev → 167.235.156.214 at INWX. Then certbot.
|
|
- **Blockers:** DNS (A record at INWX), SSL (depends on DNS)
|
|
|
|
## Session 10 — 2026-02-14 14:03 UTC (Afternoon Session)
|
|
- **DNS resolved!** Human added A record — docfast.dev → 167.235.156.214 ✅
|
|
- Installed certbot + nginx plugin on server
|
|
- Obtained Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (expires 2026-05-15, auto-renew configured)
|
|
- HTTPS fully working — all endpoints verified:
|
|
- Landing page at https://docfast.dev ✅
|
|
- HTTP → HTTPS redirect ✅
|
|
- PDF generation over HTTPS ✅
|
|
- Stripe checkout creating live sessions ✅
|
|
- **Phase transition: Phase 1 → Phase 2 (Launch & First Customers)**
|
|
- **Status:** DocFast is LIVE. Fully functional API with SSL, billing, landing page.
|
|
- **Next:** Get first paying customer — SEO, content marketing, dev community outreach
|
|
- **Blockers:** None
