Sidefire
2024 — 2026
"The chat you didn't know you desperately needed"
has been permanently promoted to the cloud.
API endpoints shipped: 56
Tests passing: 458
React components built: 31
Durable Objects: 2
Queue consumers: 3
Database tables: 13
WebSocket rooms: ∞ (theoretically)
AI features turned on: 0
Money remaining: −$∞
Then a single Zustand selector bug burned through one million
Cloudflare requests in fifteen minutes and we realized
the development model was, quote, "unsalvageable."
So we fired everyone. They were already working for free.
Some of them weren't even real.
We learned an enormous amount.
We wrote it all down.
We're starting over.
No download. No email. No signup. No service.
