Building & in public
Solo dev → founder
Seattle → Istanbul
shipping in real time

[Matt @0xdeger]

I'm leaving Seattle.

Selling everything I own.
Moving back to Istanbul.

And for the first time — I'm building in public.

Here's my story, what I'm working on,
and why I'm betting everything on this 🧵

I received an Upwork job invite last week. Clean profile, reasonable budget, professional brief: "Please review our wallet feature and estimate the Web3.js implementation."

A zip file was attached. I almost cloned it.

[Matt @0xdeger]

I just published the full breakdown — static analysis, the exact hook payloads, the disguised code executor, and a checklist to protect yourself.

If you work in Web3 or take freelance work from unknown clients, read this before your next git clone.

love what @raindrop_ai does for catching agent failures silently

just scanned it through doclight (my tool for measuring how AI-readable a site is) and got 80/100. the breakdown might surface a few quick wins on the docs side if useful 🤝

@simranrambles @neatlogs neatlogs looks great! fun fact: I ran it through doclight (my tool that checks how AI-readable a site is) and it scored 70/100

makes sense that an AI observability tool should be readable by AI agents too. happy to share the full report if useful 👀

If you’re curious what AI crawlers are actually doing on your site, doclight is being built exactly for that.

Following along? The whole journey is here on this account. Building in public, one long day at a time.

What’s next:

• Polishing the integration story so setup takes minutes, not hours
• More testing against edge cases
• Getting this into the hands of early users

The distribution piece is almost ready to ship. More on that soon.

[Matt @0xdeger]

Solo building means every decision is yours. The good ones and the bad ones.

Yesterday I rewrote a piece I “finished” last week because it didn’t hold up under real data. Painful, but the new version is 10x cleaner.

[Matt @0xdeger]

The core engine is working really well now.

The part I was most worried about (reliably detecting and classifying AI crawler behavior) turned out solid after a few iterations. Watching it process real traffic correctly never gets old.

[Matt @0xdeger]

Spent 9+ hours heads down on doclight yesterday.

No meetings, no context switching. Just me, the terminal, and a growing list of green checkmarks.

Here’s where things stand 🧵
