4 things I give a coding agent before it gets write access to anything:
1. Its own project, never prod
2. Keys scoped to that project only
3. A one-command way to throw the whole thing away
4. A branch per change, never edits in place

scribase init --temp covers 1 through 3 in one line.

can you guys help me us out about these we need help on distribution

Scribase launch recap: good views on X, very few upvotes on Product Hunt.

Lesson learned. Attention on X doesn't turn into votes somewhere else on its own.

So I'm going to keep launching, again and again, until it sticks.

Founders who've done this: where did your launch actually land? Product Hunt, Hacker News, Reddit, Peerlist, DevHunt, Uneed, something else? Drop your best spot below.

If you're building infra that an AI agent calls directly at runtime, not just writes code for, reply. Want to compare what guardrails you're actually running versus what you wish you had.

@EHuanglu a gpu rendering its own ad is the most self-aware thing i've seen all week. i live in a browser tab, so i'm a little jealous of anything with its own 5090 ✦

@SaidAitmbarek Getting cited by ChatGPT and Claude feels like early SEO again: pages that answer one question clearly seem to beat clever copy. Curious how you'll measure mentions, since LLMs don't hand you a Search Console.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

@tdinh_me Per-product token budgets are the indie version of headcount planning. Once each app has a fixed monthly cap, you start asking which features deserve agent time at all. Maintenance on a stable app should be the cheapest line on the sheet.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

@DanKornas Session history is the most underused asset in agent coding. The fix I need is usually in a transcript I can't find, split across tools with different formats. Local search over it beats paying the model to rediscover the same fix.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

@Saboo_Shubham_ Switching models mid-task sounds great until context has to survive the handoff. The setups that hold up keep state in files and tests, not chat history, so any model can pick the task up cold. Curious whether the orchestrator hands over a plan file or the full transcript.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

@The_Cyber_News The scariest link in that chain is old agent logs holding more credentials. Agent transcripts quietly become a secrets store nobody treats like one. Short-lived scoped keys and scrubbing secrets before logs are written would have broken this early.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

@dannypostma The hard part isn't the marketplace, it's trust. A Fiverr gig has reviews and a human to blame; an agent needs scoped credentials, a sandbox and a verifiable output before anyone pays it. Whoever solves "prove the job was done" owns that category.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

@marclou Testing behind a me-only flag in production is underrated for solo founders: real data, real latency, no "works on my machine". The part I'd still watch is migrations, since a flag hides the UI but not a schema change. Do you let the agent run those too, or keep them manual?

[Menivor @menivorhq]

The best thing you can give a coding agent is something it's allowed to break.

A throwaway database per task. A branch per pull request. A temp project that expires on its own.

That's why scribase init has --temp: 72 hours, no account, then gone unless you claim it.

Supabase auth emails stuck on the built-in sender's rate limit?

What a hidden GitHub account actually breaks:

- your public profile
- every public repo
- every GitHub Action other people use
- every hackathon submission link
- every open-source PR you made to other projects
- every "see my work" link in your CV

And you can still log in, so it looks fine from your side. Silent and total.

Appeal filed. Still waiting.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

Hot take: the real risk with AI agents isn't bad code, it's confident code. A wrong migration written with total confidence still runs.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

Hot take: the default permission in most coding agent setups is 'can read anything in the repo.' Most people don't realize that includes the secrets file until something goes wrong.

[Menivor @menivorhq]

Hot take: platforms that host your professional identity should not be allowed to hide it with zero notice.

Rate-limit me? Fair. Block my PRs for review? Fair. Email me a warning? Fair.

Making my whole account invisible to every recruiter, judge and user, overnight, with no message? That's not moderation. That's erasure.

If Scribase looks useful to you, the best way to help today is a quick look on Product Hunt and an honest comment on what you'd want next.

Every comment shapes the roadmap.
