Unbx: Keeping software understandable in the age of AI coding.
A governance layer for teams to control both AI and human-written code.
Building in public.
@ItsWillHenry I understand the MVP part, but charging from day one? Not sure I agree with that.
I think it's better to give early adopters free access in exchange for close, ongoing communication and detailed feedback instead.
BuildInPublic #3
This week I worked on the following:
- Set up the domain
- Implemented the backend for the validation LP
- Planned the advertising strategy for validation
Important note: The ads I’m planning to run are **not** for promoting the product.
They are purely for validating whether the problem resonates with the target audience.
I’ll be running the ads soon.

I just finished building a validation landing page for Unbx.
The goal is simple: test whether teams actually feel the pain of AI-generated code becoming a black box, and whether they would use a governance tool to solve it.
I’m planning to start running validation experiments with this LP very soon.

Completely agree!
The first screenshot is make-or-break — it really needs to answer “is this for me?” in a second.
I’ve been doing the same thing lately and it’s wild how much it moves the needle on conversions.
Smart to prioritize this over new features right now. Looking forward to seeing the updated version! 🔥 #buildinpublic #indiedev
BuildInPublic #1
After rethinking my product direction for a month, I realized something:
AI is making us write code faster, but it’s also making our codebases harder to understand and control.
So I pivoted.
I’m now building Unbx — a governance layer that helps teams keep ownership of their software, even when most of the code is written by AI.
Teams define their own rules. Unbx detects violations in AI-generated code and helps keep the codebase understandable.
This is not another linter or AI reviewer.
Starting today, I’ll share the building process here.
Have you ever felt that AI-generated code is turning your codebase into a black box?
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Build in Public #11
Today I’m making a hard but necessary announcement.
I’m officially admitting that Ordia failed.
After months of building in public, shipping features, and pouring everything into it…
validation users stayed at zero.
The product I loved didn’t resonate the way I hoped.
So I’ve decided to pivot to a new venture.
I’ve already chosen the direction and the problem I want to solve next.
I’ll share the full details in a future post — once I have something concrete to show.
This isn’t the end of my build in public journey.
It’s just the end of this chapter.
If you’ve ever had to kill a project you believed in, or if you’ve successfully pivoted as a solo founder:
→ What helped you make the decision?
→ Any lessons or warnings you wish you knew before pivoting?
I’d really appreciate your honest thoughts.
Reply or DM — I’m reading every single one.
Thank you for following the Ordia story.
Next chapter coming soon.

@AfsarWebDev Great progress on Day 35, @afsarwebdev! 🔥
The Job Tracker UI looks super clean and professional — "Track your job hunt like a pro" is a perfect tagline. React + Vite + Vercel is such a smooth stack for this. Loving the Featured Projects showcase too!
Congrats on smashing that $300 Framer commission milestone in Week 6
The logo animation glowing from blue to pure gold is *chef’s kiss*
Love seeing you build in public every day. Your consistency is seriously inspiring.
What’s the plan for Week 7? Can’t wait to see what you cook up next! 🚀
Back to validation phase for Ordia.
After thinking hard the last few days, I decided to pause building and test the idea properly.
Before: Just shipping features and hoping users come. After: Created low-budget ads (2-week test) to see if real people actually want this.
Now running quiet experiments instead of guessing.
Low-budget validation is the smartest move right now.
Does running quick ad tests like this sound like a good way to check if an idea is worth building?
1 like = “yes, good call” 👍

@danieldwalton@danieldwalton Thanks! Please look forward to it — I’m confident this will become a tool that energizes the entire industry, starting with startups and beyond. 🚀
Big evolution coming to Ordia.
We’re moving from simple notifications to detecting high-stakes business risks.
Before: Just “here’s a blocker” in Slack.
After: Ordia now spots critical blockers + automatically maps exactly who and what will be impacted — warning you before delays hit your timeline or budget.
Also rewrote the entire landing page for clarity.
These changes make Ordia a real early-warning system for solo founders and small teams.
Would this kind of risk + impact detection actually help your projects?

Hey @t_dumbre, this is exactly the kind of solution we've been waiting for! Japan faces the exact same prior authorization nightmare (14+ days of back-and-forth). On top of that, our insurance industry is suffering from a serious labor shortage — each person handles way more cases than they should, which makes reviews even slower and heavily dependent on individual staff (very manual and person-specific).
AuthFlow AI expanding into Japan could be a massive game-changer here. Would love to connect and explore how it could work in our market! 🇯🇵
Exactly! So the real move is building that targeted sales list of 100 local businesses with solid intel on each one — not just a generic portfolio.
Totally agree. When I first started freelancing, I spent all my time perfecting my portfolio site. Now I look back and realize the list (with real research baked in) is what actually opens doors and gets clients. Game-changer advice 🔥
