Built our own version of this internally that has been working great

Tempting to test it out and switch though

[OpenRouter @OpenRouter]

The Extractions API is now live in alpha on OpenRouter.

Use it to pull specific details out of text, images, and PDFs by describing the fields you need, like the names in an email or the total on a receipt, and get each one back as structured data.

Filled in for grandparents day today for one of our kids as “someone special”. Great to spend time in the classroom

One little girl in the class didn’t have anyone to join her 😢

Can’t stop thinking about it. Teachers did great giving her time & attention though

@JamesTimmins Have not had the time to do anything other than top down drawings

Is anyone turning architectural plans into a digital space with physics?

There is value in “walking through” a space digitally

There is *incredible* value in turning on the physics, getting an accurate laundry cart, and seeing how “hard” it is to push up a ranmp

@rywestlake Sent you a DM but for context here as well, it’s slimy marketing and growth hacking disguised as altruistic health benefits

If you dig into the publicly available history here and then watch this video, you can’t help but realize this guy is at least likely delusional, and at worst a fraud

@JohnTDOrazio It’s kinda sad to see the delusion lol

Imagine thinking about how to best drum up some support... you ask someone to take a photo of you exhibiting stress/despair

You pose. They snap a few. You draft the tweet. Attach the picture

And think to yourself, 'this is gold!'

... my goodness man. Read the room

[Cormac @cormachayden_]

to be honest

everyday the past couple months I've thought about quitting and shutting down oasis.

i’ve never believed more in oasis: my consumer health startup powered by transparent product testing, but...

our revenue is down 85% since april this year and our legal bills keep growing

a billion-dollar cpg company is suing us for $255 million over a social post where we incorrectly stated the amount of heavy metals in their electrolytes. we corrected it within 24 hours and offered to boost the correction to reach the same audience. their legal team said they weren’t interested.

our defense costs tens of thousands a month to present our case and could reach 6 or 7 figures if the case continues without a settlement

the odds are stacked against us. without outside help, i’m honestly unsure how we get through this

yet I cant get myself to stop. and neither can our team, who have chosen to keep working without pay.

oasis has never been better, faster, and backed by more verified lab data with our social content now being exclusively positive.

we’ve also launched consumer and brand testing so shoppers can test their own products and brands can improve their quality and oasis scores.

revenue isn’t down because customers don’t love the product. in fact, our conversion rates are among the highest of any consumer health platform. it's because we put our remaining resources into engineering, science, and independent lab testing.

we also take time to share accurate, valuable information that benefits our community long term, rather than chase downloads with inaccurate slop.

earlier this year, with a growth team, we did well. now I handle all growth and content myself to cut costs.

i and so many of our customers and team, believe the world is better with oasis in it.

we haven’t operated perfectly this year. no company pursuing a big mission does, but we’ve listened to all feedback and improved accordingly.

i’m not sharing this to ask for pity, but rather for 2 reasons:

1. to show what founding a company can feel like behind the scenes: difficult, uncertain and sometimes terrifying

2. to possibly reach the right people who can help us survive and help us carry on the mission of empowering consumers and raising the health standard for everyone.

@AbelsAbstracts Open source protocol with auditors plugged in is the way

[Charlie Dolan @cdolan92]

@heIpfullandlord Fan of both @mhp_guy and @308Greenfield love these options

Personally leaning to Slowbooks because I love the ability to self host quality open source software

Allows us to reduce attack surfaces with fewer vendors

And it’s got all the enterprise features you need

Counter point:

She is financially secure, and able to take outsized risk

Concentrated bets can have fantastic returns!

[Dan Reese @DanReese21]

I let my 12 y/o pick stocks in her Greenlight account to get her interested in investing.

She's recklessly overexposed to Hasbro, despite me warning her about the risks of being undiversified.

She's up 46% YTD.

I'll keep you all posted on her next buy.

Everyone piling on SOC 2 as useless but also SOX seems just as silly in reality
