#buildinpublic Day 3: MVP deployed and working
- upload audio, AI detects distress/crying, shows results. Waiting on Google OAuth review before sending to waitlist. Spent half a day fighting Docker builds eating all my disk space 😅 Anyone know typical Google OAuth review times?
#buildinpublic Day 1: I’m building an AI tool to help families feel safer when kids or elderly parents are in someone else’s care. Got an MVP, a business plan draft, and a list of people waiting to try it. Time to deploy, send it out, and chat to a lawyer about privacy stuff.
@lovable Hey @lovable it seems like your supabase account won't accept any new signups for the past hour. Getting over_email_send_rate_limit when trying to sign up for the competition. You might want to check that out.
Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)
For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.
A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.
Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.
But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.
So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”
I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.
But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.
I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.
900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.
And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.
Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:
Israel.
That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.
Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.
But it’s not my home.
So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.
Israeli first.
Palestinian second.
Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.
שלושה חודשים לפני טיסה:
בוחרת חברת תעופה.
מזמינה כרטיסי טיסה.
ממלאת פרטי נוסעים.
שמה את עצמי בתור אשת הקשר.
משלמת על כרטיסי הטיסה בכרטיס אשראי שרשום על שמי.
שבוע לפני הטיסה, במייל: Are you excited for you trip, Mr. Pekerman?
תודה, פטריארכיה!
@British_Airways my partner proposed 💍❤️ and we will get married during our trip to NYC this March. We were able to upgrade the inbound flight, could you help us upgrade the outbound one and make our tiny event unforgettable? Thx!
