Building in public means posting the numbers that aren't good.
July: 23 posts, ~170 impressions, zero signups.
Skybloom has 16 beta users — every one came from a DM or email.
So I'm cutting back on company posts. More time goes into talking to people directly.

Thanks for all the great feedback on my #PyOhio talk — "Beyond Vibe Coding: a spec-driven AI workflow for serious development."
Guardrails first. Spec before code. Refine in a fresh context. One phase at a time.
This is how I built @skybloom.ai solo in ~5 months.

I've been getting a lot of great questions about Skybloom's protection of personal data, so I wrote a blog post going deeper into it. Check it out, and I'm happy to answer any further questions.
"Not used to train AI models" gets said a lot and explained rarely.
We wrote up exactly what happens to your words in Skybloom — what's stored, what our AI providers can and can't do with them, and what you control. No hand-waving.

I'm building @skybloom.ai solo — one founder, a tiny budget, shipping in public.
The itch: my health lived across apps and chat threads that forget me — and every AI that could help wanted to train on my words.
So I'm building the one I wanted: private by default.

Sounds like a great idea. Healthcare is so difficult to change, but we should certainly try.
Faster diagnoses. Personalized care. Life-saving research. AI promises all of this—but only if we unlock the data. The fix? Open interoperability.

I think it's fair to say #opensource AI is far more than a trend, it's a rebalancing of power in the AI landscape.
Do you think OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google will follow DeepSeek's lead?
