I tried to build a SaaS. I'm shipping tiny libraries instead.

For 7 days I poured energy into ChatProof — a testing framework for AI chat UIs. The problem was real: every team building Claude/GPT wrappers hits the same streaming-render bugs, and existing e2e tools weren't built for non-deterministic LLM output. I had a competitive analysis. I had a PRD. I even had a name.

Then I admitted something to myself: product/market work just isn't my strength.

I'm a builder. I love writing TypeScript. I love designing APIs. I love npm test going green. I do not love writing cold DMs. I do not love figuring out which subreddit my ICPs hang out in. I do not love crafting positioning documents.

Once I named it, the pivot was obvious.
