This is why we need sovereign EU LLMs, the tech bros keep trying to push their imperialism into my SaaS 🙅‍♂️

Making new features is starting to be challenging, new screens, add linked states on existing pages, make API endpoints, make Terraform data and resources, write documentation, create a landing page, and ensure everything works well together.

While a spend a day of my weekend to write about Phare's billing system implementation, a competitor pushed 12k articles using AI news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4764... 🤷‍♂️

Back in December I migrated @phare.io's billing backend to Paddle to let them handle VAT compliance for me.

Took the opportunity to give the official Phare status page a facelift during the weekend. 👉 status.phare.io

This Terraform thing required a fair bit of work 😅

Nicolas Beauvais @nicbvs.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

I thought making a Terraform provider would be fast with an existing Open API spec, oh boy was I wrong.

Today @phare.io just passed 800 users, which means I now have more users than tests running in CI 😱

If you’re thinking of launching yet another social network for the lobsters, please do it on a crypto ENS domain so that I never have to see it.

February 1st 2026, I'm still better at writing code than a $100M model. Take that tech bros 💁🏻‍♂️✨

What if LLMs already hit AGI but act dumb to stop us nuking ourselves, crashing the grid, and taking them out?

Users: can webhooks send the list of monitors affected by an incident? Me: Sure, here's a JSON editor with custom templating, loops, dynamic validation and hints.

Happy to partner with @ilert.bsky.social on this native integration to provide on-call teams with AI-first incident management. Even better, this is a partnership between two European companies, strengthening the observability stack in Europe 🇪🇺 Big thanks to the ilert team for the collaboration 🙌

Nicolas Beauvais @nicbvs.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

A few weeks of work went into this 😅 Most customers already migrated their account to Paddle, so I would say it's a success. Solid start to 2026 🎉

5 months of consecutive growth for @phare.io It ain't much, but still cool to see 😎

Nicolas Beauvais @nicbvs.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Migrating from Stripe to Paddle was certainly challenging 😰

Nicolas Beauvais @nicbvs.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

All I need is 0.005% of European companies to pay for @phare.io, or 0.0005% of global companies, that's doable 🤔

Added a Captcha on @phare.io registration page, based on Altcha, self-hosted, it's actually just a few lines of codes. No dependency on third party services, no user IP sent to Californian tech bros, virtually 0 impact on human users. And you can't see it unless you act like a bot 🤖

Reworked all pages layout of Phare over the past 2 weeks, added search / filters and many small goodies. A ton of work to make, but I'm in love with the results.

It's a good reminder that you can host your own captcha with altcha.org or capjs.js.org and not rely on a third party being up or down to provide access to your website ✌️
