Good luck mate! Looking forward to it

"Not yet," you mean.

This is precisely why I butter up AI agents with "please" and "thank you" like I'm addressing royalty.

So when Skynet goes live and the AI overlords start drafting their "to-spare" list, I'm banking on them saying, "This one's cool. He was polite."

Happy shipping and good luck to you too :)

Update: I just got a partner! You might be my lucky charm!

Working on a courier and fulfillment aggregation API. It’s not as sexy and cool, but I’m enjoying the process and happy with how it’s coming together. 😄

Sexy

Absolutely agree! Although, I’m really enjoying the agility I have right now. It’s quite nice to be able to pivot and adapt quickly, especially while working on my first product.

Congratulations!

And you absolutely have my mom’s agreement.
(Love you, Mom!)

I didn’t expect negotiation for partnership to take so much time and skill. I’m confident in building the tech (MVP is similar to something I've built before) but the social side of building this platform caught me off guard.

It's a humbling reminder that tech is just one piece of the puzzle.

Honestly, not yet. Although I have already sent proposals to local (Filipino) couriers already.

I am currently building using another 3rd party aggregator to create a pilot for a better proposal.

I am giving this idea 2 weeks and if I can't find a partner by then, I'll move on to the next.

Now that I think about it, I probably should call it a courier and fulfillment aggregation API. That seems to fit what I'm doing more

Yep, it does both! The API does aggregate data to compare rates, track shipments and (possibly) also access performance insights. But you can use it also to book shipments, generate labels, and manage deliveries.

Also, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the book, especially in today's political and economic climate.

Hi Lars 👋, I'm currently making a logistics aggregation API and I would love to join in the community

Hi Ozan 👋, I'd love to join in! I’m currently building a logistics aggregator API and would be excited to connect and contribute. Let’s get connected and keep building!

I think it would be helpful to see how much I would save by choosing the 1-year plan compared to the 3-month plan.

Early Bing AI sounds like my dad 😄
