i build dev tools, weird little web things, and play a bit too much TFT.

building Vulnfrog, the security copilot for devs that ship fast

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

most security tools feel built for companies with dedicated security teams and big budgets

im building vulnfrog for everyone else. indie devs, small teams and regular people trying to figure out whats exposed, what matters, and what to fix first

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@cormachayden_ thats the dream!!

21 days left to ship Vulnfrog, the security copilot for devs that ship fast!

today i took a break. no code. barely thought of Vulnfrog and just enjoyed the day

excited to tackle it tmrw! sometimes a good break is just as important as a good dev session :)

happy building!

22 days left to ship Vulnfrog, the security copilot for devs who ship fast

today i didn't spend much time coding.

instead i took the time to intentionally plan the new dashboard. this time i want to:
- improve onboarding
- show data that matters
- make applying fixes obvious

23 days left to ship vulnfrog, the best security scanner for gh repos

today i took feedback from the @shipordie_ community and drastically improved our gh scan results. they are now:
- actionable
- detailed
- explain why each finding is a security risk

check out the before/after

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@ThePrimeagen i just got recommended the bobiverse series. im gonna check it out might be worth a read

24 days left to ship vulnfrog, soon to be best security scanner by far

today i wanted to spend more time improving the user experience

but this weekend ended up being a focused infra session. fixing things people wont really notice, but its a QoL improvement im glad i made

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@ImNotAV1rus best advice ive gotten is to just ship the core feature. your product doesnt need to be complete on day 1.

ship your main selling point first, then add the bells and whistles

most products at its core is 1-2 features

26 days left to ship vulnfrog!!

i got a lot of valuable feedback from the @shipordie_ community yesterday so i spent a lot of time today on:
- optimizing infra / reducing costs
- improving verbage on gh comments
- pricing & target audience discovery

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@StefanTMD ive never eaten anything in the shower but i heard oranges are a must try

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@jacomakes excited to check this out when ready! i have an art tablet i never use and want to get back into sketching

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

27 days left to ship vulnfrog, a security scanner for indie devs

major improvements today:
- upgraded internal model to opus 4.8
- added vuln fix pr generations & commits!!

vulnfrog now finds AND fixes vulnerabilities in your repo! this is just v1 with more improvements to come

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@Dexerto can we get them all?

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@bas_fijneman good luck!! your so close! i heard re-reviews dont take nearly as long

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

@shadcn i dont use terminals seriously enough to consider % performance. tho i use ghostty + herdr just because it felt better

just use what feels good for u

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

This took a ton of effort to get working at a base level. tons of improvements and optimizations to make but this is a great milestone for me!

28 days left to ship vulnfrog, a security scanner for indie devs

today i added an ai powered security review on top of the base pull req scanning.

this helps:
- reduce false positives
- find vulns traditional scanners cant

in testing it found an additional 2 security vulns!🤯

[lilfrogdev @lilfrogdev]

using vulnfrog while building vulnfrog is so funny. wdym my pr introduced 4 new vulns lol

but glad to see theres real value here, even for me!
