Everyone's talking about MCP like it's the missing link for AI tooling.
I don't think it is. At least, not yet.
Useful? Sure.
Production-ready? Not even close.
MCP introduces a new layer you now have to secure, monitor, and debug. It relies on stateful connections, breaks serverless patterns, and opens up some scary security holes if you're not careful.
Don't fall for the "spec equals maturity" trap. It's okay to wait.
Oh, and about the app vs web page comment, I get you. However, it's a progressive web app and can be installed. Works offline too. If you check Faye, you'll notice an install button at the top right.
Thanks, that means a lot. On the insights side, Faye does give useful cycle predictions and analysis from logged data, and they're all generated offline.
There’s also an optional AI insights feature (using OpenAI API), but only if someone chooses to use it.
Replying to +1 the marketing / positioning comment here. I absolutely think there’s a market for this, especially considering the latest attacks on repro rights. Pitching this to select reporters and linking it to something newsworthy and relevant (maybe the 23 and Me data debacle, or repro policy concerns) might improve your user count. Even replying to high performing, relevant Reddit posts might earn you a few more users.
As someone with a period and concerns about data privacy, I’m now using Faye and will tell my friends. Thank you for building this.
Thank you. I appreciate this and will try what you've mentioned.
If you have the time, please check out Faye's privacy policy and let me know if it's clear enough: https://faye.health/privacy-policy
My goal is to make it very transparent and easy to understand.
100% agree. It’s less "product-market fit" and more "husband-wife fit." Wasn’t trying to build a startup, just trying to fix something that felt broken for someone I love.
And since it’s free, Faye doesn't need mass adoption. It just needs to exist for that one person who goes, "hold on...my health data ended up where?"
Or for when the next data breach hits and people start searching for local-only options.
Check with your Post Office. My USPS Post Office Box actually has a street address I can use, as well. They started this about four or five years ago. It's the street address of the Post Office, with the box number added like an apartment number. (Interestingly, the Zip+four is different.)
I do not know where you live and why you think that Google is wrong publishing your personal address but I can share my own story from Western Europe.
I managed an online community for tens of thousands of people for 18 years. The domain was registered to a fake address, but once I started accepting ads, I had to register a business and list my home address in the public records.
I dealt with hundreds of advertisers, and the most obvious risk was that an adversary contacts me to publish an ad, gets my company details, checks online for company address and comes ripping my heart off.
Over these years, I received multiple online threats from various people... but none have ever have showed at my door step.
I still wonder why.
Did the users I blocked and banned never really felt offended because I tried to be professional and predictable in all circumstances?
Or was it just because finding my personal address required a bit of ingenuity which the most egregious perpetrators simply lacked?
P.S. And no, this was not a gaming community nor anime lovers forum, but a place where immigrants turned in for help.
P.P.S. Before downvoting... think again about the responsibility you take on when people pay you money in return for your service.
