UPDATEEE : hopefully the last one before we ship

---

last time we made the dashboard honest
devlog 2 we made it actually run your startup
this one we put it on the internet

---

WE ARE LIVEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

• backend on Render, frontend on Vercel
• live demo → cofounder-alpha.vercel.app
• frontend talks to the real api now — no mock mode, no fake data

---

survived production

hosted deploys were breaking us in quiet annoying ways so we fixed that

• startup doesn’t block Render health checks anymore — atlas and mcp boot in the background
• fixed atlas tls on hosted deploys with certifi
• pinned python 3.11 so render doesn’t randomly break on 3.13
• mongodb mcp runs via npx at runtime — no global npm install on the server

---

orchestrator got tougher

• optional aws bedrock fallback if gemini is down — still falls back cleanly
• orchestrator can open panels for you now — settings, export, journal, integrations, jump to a node

---

small things that matter

• idea framer names your workspace properly on first create
• getting started checklist + coach marks so new users aren’t lost
• settings dialog shows gaps vs what agents actually know
• export zip now ships PROJECT_RULES.md instead of editor-specific stuff
• cleaned up the repo — reads like a product now not a build log

---

still before v1

oauth · real multi-project · gmail/slack · persona lens · auth

---

shipping next

oauth → multi-project → first public v1

after that fewer devlogs more product

---

see ya on the other side of ship byeee :)
