Director of Engineering by day, SaaS founder by night. Using AI to ship faster. Current project: HetGuard, automated Hetzner backups.

I made a free checklist app called Just a List because most task apps feel like too much

No account, analytics, or data collection. Lists stay on your device

Built for my own ADHD task friction, but maybe it helps someone else too

Just shipped custom cron scheduling for HetGuard - the only Hetzner backup tool with it. Built the whole thing in about an hour using @claudeai .
Wrote about how I did it: https://t.co/yKVfahgVte

Added live event streaming to Narvega this week. Watch every MCP tool call your AI makes in real time. It's one of those features that makes the product feel alive the moment you see it.

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

@ToolRadarAI Audit logs are done. Every tool call logged with identity, params, latency, and outcome. kill switch is a policy rule: set decision to deny, flip the toggle. done.

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

Shipped Slack approval workflows for MCP tool calls today

Claude wants to run a tool → gateway intercepts → Slack notification fires → human approves or denies → tool executes (or doesn't)

zero code changes to your MCP servers. one config line.

@thenowhereway It’s what most AIs tend to recommend. Ask it to build in a current tech stack and it gives you nextjs on vercel with supabase

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

For some reason it took a while for HetGuard to make it into google but it’s there now and I can work on seo

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

I’ve learned very quickly after launching https://t.co/Pkqu52Nq5P that I need to start working on marketing and distribution

Just got my blue checkmark now all I see are tweets about gaining followers

Having an MCP proxy run in ms has been fun to work on #buildinpublic

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

@yabsssai The stdio proxy is actually pretty thin. It's basically just a bridge that delegates to Anthropic's official modelcontextprotocol/sdk. That SDK handles the SSE client and stdio transport, so cross-macOS stability came mostly for free.

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

We're building the thing enterprises need before they realize they need it.

Narvega: a governance gateway for MCP. Every AI tool call - logged, policy-checked, auditable.

No more "the AI did what??" moments.

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

@Umesh__digital I've used it for large scale apps and personal projects. It's my go to for backend caching.

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

@leannebuilding @Hetzner_Online Thanks for the feedback! I’ll see what I can do

[HetGuard @HetGuard]

Lost server data is a nightmare. HetGuard automates your Hetzner backups so you never have to find out how bad it gets.
Set your schedule. We handle the rest.

It feels good using your own product to ensure reliability of it.

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

@agazdecki Especially when you have no online presence

[Dan Rovito @DanRovito]

Launched an app that automates your Hetzner backups. You can schedule snapshots, database, and volume backups. Check it out https://t.co/obI2qu4JeJ

@elvissun Just fixed this in SimpleVerify. Email now points to an interstitial page, verify API only gets called on the button POST. Scanners can pre-fetch all they want.
