ARR August Cycle [D]

Mine was just submitted, and the submission count shown is still under 500. Does anyone know whether this count is meaningful for identifying the intended venue, possibly EACL, or whether it is simply low because many authors have not submitted yet or the counter is incomplete? I know the count alone is not reliable evidence, but I was curious whether previous ARR cycles showed a recognizable pattern. Also, is anyone else preparing a submission for this August cycle, especially with EACL 2...

Neurips 2026: does every metareview recommend accept/reject? [D]

I see some people say their metareview already contains a decision/recommendation (all of them were rejections). Ours doesn’t. Even though our avg score is 3, the metareview seems optimistic and finishes with “a convincing response would be an important consideration while discussing the paper.” I wonder how to interpret that. We did a strong rebuttal, but none of the reviewers engaged. So I wonder whether there’s any point to keep hope due to the AC review or just give up. submitted b...

Conference Reviews: Asking Too Much? [D]

There's a kind of review that asks for lengthy additions, usually extending the scope of the paper beyond the stated, even though the submission is at page limit. Naturally, such additions in the case of top-tier conferences have to go into the supplemental materials or appendices. My question here is, would not such additions make the paper more suitable for a journal publication? I had to retract one paper out of such concern that the conference publication would block the later planned jou...

neurips 2026: ACs and reviewers have disappeared [D]

we submitted our rebuttal via the "Rebuttal" button before the author/reviewer/AC discussion period officially opened (Jul 27 AoE). since then, we've gotten complete silence from all four reviewers and the AC several of us are also reviewing this cycle. when the discussion period opened on Jul 27 AoE, we got no email notification for rebuttals on papers we're reviewing, specifically for the papers whose authors had also posted early via the "Rebuttal" button. so it feels ...

I built a Chrome extension that backs up entire Skool courses

I got tired of realizing that if a Skool membership expires or a community disappears, you lose access to everything you paid for. So I spent a few days building a Chrome extension that downloads an entire course you're enrolled in: videos, notes, and attachments, all saved locally in the right order. I honestly built it for myself. Then I posted it this week, and about 12 hours later someone I'd never met bought a lifetime licence. It's only one sale, but having a complete stranger pay ...

How are you handling customer cancellation flows in 2026? Building a solution as a solo dev.

Hey r/SaaS , Over the past few months, I’ve been solo-developing a project around SaaS retention. I noticed that most subscription cancellation processes are either static "Are you sure?" popups or frustrating manual survey forms. I built a 3-step dynamic flow (identifying the exact reason → offering real-time incentives like discounts/pauses → tracking recovered MRR analytics). Question for other founders here: How do you currently handle churn prevention when a user clicks ...

I was a software builder for last 20 years. How to be good at distribution ?

I keep building instead of selling or distribution. I tried to be active across newsletter and social media but the energy and charm fades away in a week. Many times I am lost what kind of communities worth engaging or what's worth replying to. Founders, how you transitioned to selling/distribution ? A schedule you forced yourself into, one channel you picked and stuck with? Not looking for a hack list, just what worked for you. [link] &#...

New SaaS in my native language.

Hello everyone, i want to build a SaaS before graduation and i want it to be in my native language. My goal is not something too complex and complicated. My true goal is building something that could actually be used daily, maybe by students or whoever else that focuses on studying. And maybe something entirely different. What i want to say is that i want ideas close to them or a simple direction that could help me find answers to solutions as everyone else. But in my native language. &#...

Rachika Nayar’s Heaven Come Crashing is an instrumental epic of desperate longing

Two minutes and thirty seconds into the title track of Rachika Nayar's Heaven Come Crashing, an absolutely massive drum and bass beat drops. As a fan of Nayar's debut record Our Hands Against The Dusk, it caught me off guard. That album has no percussion on it at all. Heaven Comes Crashing is almost entirely […]

🔗 Repo: https://github.com/CodeGraphContext/grapharc Have you ever been frustrated because your AI agent: ❌ Takes actions you never intended? ❌ Creates, modifies, or even pushes changes you never asked for? ❌ Feels like a complete black box, making it impossible to understand what's happening until it's too late? What if, before execution, you could visualize the entire orchestration graph - every agent, every dependency, every decision, and inspect it from anywhere, even your phone,...

It started with a test of a frontier model and ended up as a multiplayer game

The last 1,5 week has been quite an eyeopener for me - I must say that Claude Code and the current frontier models are amazing. A test of Fable (and later Opus 5) turned into a larger game. It’s very much inspired by the tank element of Battlefield 1942 and the round-by-round build system from Overwatch 2’s Stadium mode. About the game: You join a game and enhance your tank, then you go out and destroy the enemy while hunting for salvage which is used to enhance your tank even further (balan...

Why I'm preselling my Obsidian AI plugin before writing a line of code

Disclosure: I used an AI coding agent to collect research and draft this post. I reviewed the final copy before publishing. I started with an Obsidian plugin idea I thought was obvious. Research killed it. A different one survived, and I'm now preselling it at $19 before writing a single line of code. Here's the evidence that changed my mind, and the line I've drawn for myself. The market has a reputation problem, and it's earned Obsidian has 1,800+ community plugins and ...

The Blind Leading the Blind: Chasing a Production Bug

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry . Around 2016, I was working as a PHP developer at Racing Post in London. The Post is best known for horse-racing news, form and results, but behind the public-facing products sat a large collection of systems for processing all kinds of racing and greyhound data. The application I worked on used that data to produce periodic reports. This was the PHP 5 era. The language had already powered serious web app...

A GitHub Actions tag is a promise, not a fact: pinning by SHA the right way

When you write uses: actions/checkout@v4 in a GitHub Actions workflow, you are not pinning anything. You are trusting a promise. A tag is a movable pointer. Whoever owns that repository can repoint v4 at a different commit tomorrow, after you reviewed it, and every run of your pipeline will silently pull the new code. In a job that holds a registry login, a PyPI token, or a signing key, that is exactly the place you do not want a mutable reference. I recently went through a project's w...

Lesson 4 - Validation: A must-have cornerstone

In a traditional SDLC, validation was someone else's job and it came later. QA teams checked that the software did what it was supposed to. The behavior was repeatable, so eventually you automated the checks and moved on. So when building Slooster, I did the hard parts first: Building the prompts, tuning them, defining schemas for parameters and outputs. Building a system to pick the provider, the model, the temperature, and other tuning configs per prompt. Everything worked great...

Building an embedded Shopify app in Symfony: session tokens, token exchange, and the parts nobody writes in PHP

Shopify's app documentation has exactly one first-class path: Node, the official CLI, and a Remix template that wires authentication for you. Pick any other language and you leave the paved road at the first turn, because everything interesting happens before your framework's router sees the request: the app runs in an iframe inside the Shopify admin, the browser will not give you a cookie there, and the token you need to call the Admin API has to be traded for on the fly. None of tha...
