Just using this to vent about building a startup tbh

After 5 years of dealing with severe acne, I finally wrote about it.

Not just the physical side, but the mental weight, the dead ends, and how it led me to co-found Faculty of Skin.

This is the story of how a personal struggle became a startup.

I've been creating a signup/login flow for Spa Sense this weekend. We are working towards doing some beta testing with some Spas on our waitlist in early June!

Should have an update on #SpaSense today, just fixing some things up
April 18, 2025 at 5:54 PM
Ok, now we have actual agents being created once one puts their Spa website into Spa Sense! Next thing is to create a knowledge base for each agent created

We are pivoting to use Vapi instead. This allows us to have messaging and calling with the same assistant

Today, we made some good progress. I created the page where one will view their data from their website. This is also the page where the Spa agent will be available for preview.

@n8n.io I struggled to get the data from my HTTP request node the scrapes the Spas website into this page, any tips?

So we are thinking of coming up with a way for Spas to enter their website into Spa Sense and have Spa Sense use the information there to create an agent for them.

We worked on it today but accidentally deployed the front end lol

After hearing from some users on @bsky.app, I will be taking a break from @threadstorm.bsky.social to re-think my approach. This is not the end, startups need to pivot lol

In the meantime, if you are a Spa owner, checkout Spa Sense from my other company Faculty of Skin

Bottoms up communities like Barcamp, DrupalCamp, the GoLang Gopher and Rust Ferris the Crab end up getting remixed without being in any way "official".

Bluesky == Butterfly, which is not the same as #atproto, the atmosphere, or #ATmosphereConf.

Got community #atdesign ideas???
We're kicking off the #atproto swag team today with a call for community created designs.

Help us create designs we can make available for people to order as t-shirts and stickers to support the community.
