I'm just one developer.
In 30 days, I shipped 7 features that take VC-backed teams months:
- AI that learns from your docs (70% automation)
- Email capture (support → leads)
- Slack integration (2-sec notifications)
- 15kb widget (10x smaller than Intercom)
- Custom AI personas
- Enterprise security self-hosting
- Conversation sharing
Zero downtime. Solo built. Free.
