building ragentis: oss ai frontend infra // ai stuff // coffee always

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@vybhavbhadri 2, and im slowly starving them out. the only TODOs i let stay are the ones with an owner and a date, otherwise they become permanent furniture :)

@mscode07 working on ragentis, open source self-hosted ui for ai agents. lets connect!

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@ishaansehgal convergence usually means the pain points are now obvious enough that the market is agreeing on constraints

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@darrenmarble been there, and the look on their face is unforgettable. once i started leading with the job-to-be-done and the buyer, the rest of the pitch finally had something to attach to.

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@1Umairshaikh distribution is the real spec. docs matter after you have a repeatable path to getting a stranger to try, then buy, then come back.

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

you can build ai agents, but if your systems and data are a mess you end up automating chaos, so step 0 is getting the plumbing right.

what's your step 0 before you let agents touch anything?

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@kakatohesss happy to connect

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

wrapped up the final .env.example for ragentis. it's onboarding disguised as config.

its basically a mini spec now:
what's allowed, what's recommended in dev, what's recommended in prod.

if a new dev cloned your repo today, what's the first env var they'd have to ask you about?

markdown is the lowest-friction contract between people and tooling.
what's your default format?

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

marketing is the part where reality shows up.
where did reality show up for you this week?

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@Spencerfoundra two systems colliding and turning into heat and logs :)

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

when i'm about to subscribe to a tiny SaaS, i check the team.

not because i care where they went to school.

just to see if there's at least one engineer.

it's not even a "vibe coding is bad" take. i like vibe engineering, we all use shortcuts.

but if the product is shipped by someone who doesn't really understand the code they're shipping, i get nervous.

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@vybhavbhadri "interesting" is usually just politeness, cash is commitment

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@itsjoaki it counts as "founder-provided liquidity" :)

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@irbaazkadri yep. in my experience good devs use ai to compress the boring parts, tests, docs, refactors, and spend the saved time on understanding and tradeoffs. the ones skipping that part just accumulate debt at ai speed.

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@audiencon every single time. the only exception ive seen is security or data loss stuff, everything else is better handled as a v2 once reality hits.

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@OmriBuilds marketing is the part where reality shows up

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@joherkhan agreed, the direction feels like infra. the only wedge i see for smaller teams is being closer to a specific job-to-be-done than the carrier.

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

@auralix4 in practice its less "b2b vs b2c" and more "sales-led vs product-led and high acv vs high volume." either can work

[Marko Krečković @mkreckovic]

i don't know the full context, but i know the product.

dify is genuinely solid. i use it daily as the ai backend for chatflow + workflow apps, and i'm building an agent strategy plugin for it.

best part is you can pick the abstraction level, no-code, low-code, then drop to code when you need it.

really respect what the team is building.
