😸 Your code can text you now

gm legends, happy Thursday.

Console.text() gives you dead-simple SMS alerts for the code paths you care about, Preflight turns bug bashes into a clean shared workspace instead of a cursed sheet, and Macaly 3.0 leans into the editing phase so you actually ship past the AI draft.

Console.text() sends you an SMS when specific code paths run in production. You install the package, drop a single call next to the stuff that matters, and get a text when it fires. No dashboards, no alert rules puzzle, no “I’ll set up Sentry later” energy. You get 50 free messages to test and sane limits so it does not melt your phone.

🔥 Our Take: Everyone ran to observability stacks and forgot that a plain text at the right moment still does the job. For a solo dev or a side project, you probably do not need another bloated UI, you just need to know when payments, webhooks, or other scary branches start misbehaving. Sometimes the boring, older tech wins.

We just wrapped the first Orbit Awards for AI Dictation and now we’re onto the next wave: AI Automation.

This round is for the tools that quietly run your day in the background – the ones that move money, clean up workflows, trigger follow-ups, or just delete a chunk of boring work from your week.

If there’s an automation tool you swear by, now’s the time to boost it: drop it in this thread, share how you actually use it, and leave a review on its Product Hunt page so it has a real shot at an Orbit.

Preflight gives your team a shared workspace for bug bashes instead of another bloated doc. Paste in product requirements and Figma links to generate test cases in minutes, run through them together in real time, attach notes and screenshots when something breaks, then fire off Linear or Jira tickets and a release-readiness report from the same place.

🔥 Our Take: Bug bashes are usually a mess of comments, screenshots, and half-filled cells that nobody wants to touch again. Having one focused space where tests, failures, tickets, and the final “are we shipping this?” snapshot all live together is a big upgrade on the usual Google Sheet circus. You spend the time finding issues instead of fighting the format.

Macaly 3.0 is built for the part after the AI draft. You get Edit Mode to change layouts on the canvas, Global Styles to keep everything consistent, an Asset Library to manage visuals, and Review Changes so you can see exactly what you just touched. Team plans and hosting are baked in so you can go from rough version to shipped site in one place.

🔥 Our Take: AI can throw a page together in seconds, but the real work is making it look and read how you actually want. This update is basically a big yes to that phase: tighten copy directly, nudge sections around without fighting prompts, lock in styles once, and move on. Less wrestling, more finishing.
