day 15 of building in public:

continued working on my Agent Module. Testing different Routes and getting that thing working. Still a long way to get this working stable.
Hint: if you watch till the end you will see it fail 😅

day 14 of building in public:

built the Agent Module for Zestio. type a sentence, it creates leads, deals, Media, etc. no forms, no dropdowns — just chat.

rewired the LLM backend and pushed to GitLab today.
Will be an specialist agent when finished

my bundle never got fat from code. it got fat from files I forgot existed.
what's the dumbest thing you've found still shipping to production?

day 85 of building in public:
got the email every solo dev loves: 100% of the free tier used. not users, not traffic - deployment storage.

[Chris | Zestio @ZestioAI]

also moved all 12 of my cron jobs onto one model - the new one quietly rejects structured JSON on the relay, so one side job had to stay on the old one.

[Chris | Zestio @ZestioAI]

@kushmergedeck would think most users are already dropping off before signup. Other users only stage 2-3 images as that's probably enough for a listing. (So still within the free tier)
Need to target larger Agents somehow.

[Chris | Zestio @ZestioAI]

spent this week redesigning my landing page instead of shipping features:
> warmer palette, motion hero, real interior photos
> the fix that mattered: half my 'hero' images were exteriors, not interiors
what's the last design change that moved your signups?

[Chris | Zestio @ZestioAI]

@kushmergedeck to early, but hopefully future users will drop off less

[Chris | Zestio @ZestioAI]

@escarletdesign still not 100% happy with it, probably need some more tweeks.

[Chris | Zestio @ZestioAI]

my own script queued a 698-character post for an account that can only publish 280. the API accepted it. no warning, 200 OK.
the failure was simply scheduled for later.
automation doesn't remove your mistakes. it stores them.
what's quietly broken in your stack?

this room is completely empty - and that is exactly why nobody clicks the listing.
> left: the photo every agent has to work with
> right: the same room, staged in minutes - no furniture, no photographer, no vacant day
what stops you from staging every listing?

day 24 of building in public:

continued working on Zestio and it's virtuell staging.
Had some odd cases were the staging happened out on the balcony. Found out the root cause and fixed it
