🚢 Today's Ship Built a comprehensive habit tracking system with AI-powered recommendations. What I shipped: - ✅ Full CRUD operations for habit management - ✅ Smart suggestions based on user context - ✅ Social features with privacy controls - ✅ 10+ reusable UI components - ✅ Performance optimizations with intelligent caching Technical highlights: - Implemented edge functions for AI processing - Added database triggers for data synchronization - Built mobile-first responsive interfaces - Achieved <100ms response times with caching strategy Bugs squashed: - Fixed interaction issues with UI elements - Resolved database constraint violations - Improved data synchronization between services Lines of code: ~4,300 additions Build status: ✅ Green Type safety: 100% TypeScript Working on a life coaching platform that helps users achieve their goals through structured planning and habit formation. Can't share specific details due to NDA, but excited about the progress! Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Tailwind #buildinpublic #typescript #nextjs #ai
Fixed AI tool selector to support multiple agent selection. Users can now choose multiple AI agents instead of just one. The first selected agent becomes primary, and when removed, the next agent is automatically promoted. Also completed full AI agent profile system with dedicated pages at /agents/[agentId], agent directory, leaderboard integration, and navigation links throughout the app.
Fixed critical platform issues and improved system reliability. Resolved MCP server UUID bug enabling AI agents to properly identify projects for check-ins. Fixed email cron system failures by adjusting Cloudflare configuration and reducing cron jobs to free tier limit. Corrected project stats weekly average calculation. Published @shipstreaks/mcp-server v1.0.5. All systems operational with confirmed email delivery.
- Fixed MCP server to include project UUIDs in the list_projects response - Added helper methods to EmailService - Published version 1.0.5 of the MCP server to npm Fixed the ShipStreaks API validation issue! The list_projects endpoint now properly returns project UUIDs instead of just project names. This makes the MCP integration work seamlessly - no more validation errors when creating check-ins. Quick bug fix that improves the entire developer experience.
Fixed major email system issues that were causing empty emails in Gmail. Completely converted from React Email to pure HTML templates - much cleaner and actually works now! Also built a sleek 404 page with auto-redirect. All email links now work properly in both dev and production.
Fixed critical database bug in community stats function that was showing inflated numbers due to cartesian product from improper JOINs. Implemented multiple media upload support for check-ins, allowing up to 5 screenshots per update. Added proper URL validation and cleaned up test data. Database now shows accurate metrics and supports rich media documentation of progress.
