spent all day yesterday at resend forward and the craft was incredible, for a small conference it was packed with quality people, real engagement and actual insight zeno rocha is someone i'm very lucky to call an investor and a friend, and one of my biggest inspirations.

we just updated our pricing. we're putting more into the product than ever, and the price now matches what you actually get. cheap tools get cut first. we'd rather be the one you can't rip out. customers, it's in your inbox. questions? dms open.

fun bug from today: under an IAB policy, c15t was creating the CMP 100 times on every page load. one notification re-triggered the mount before it finished. 99 instances never got cleaned up. fix was one boolean. shoutout to the community contributor who chased it down.

wow. genuinely stunned by the quality so far at Resend Forward. "every great product is someone choosing to eat the pain." Aaron Francis felt that one as someone who builds cookie banners for a living.

The Inth enforcement library is open: 123 privacy enforcement case records, each traced back to its source. I built it because a lot of these cases come down to a tag or a line of code. Every record lists checks you can run on your own repo and site. inth.com/blog/enforc...

Introducing c15t v3 The open standard for cookie banners ✦ Set up c15t in my app: c15t.com/SKILL.md → Open source → 8 frameworks and a script tag → Banner in the server HTML → 34 policy presets, GPC and GPP built in

Every day I’m making Inth more agent-ready. New copyable prompt boxes are popping up across the site. Copy a prompt, paste it into your coding agent, and see what migrating to Inth would involve for your codebase today.

We’ve been working on making Inth's privacy audits more useful after you open our audit reports. We've included more thorough checks, supporting evidence and recommendations tied to your findings. Check our changelog on the updates: inth.com/blog/change...

This is the Inth we always wanted. Inth now checks your codebase, website and every PR, then helps you fix privacy risks before they become blocked deals or expensive problems. Run a free privacy scan: inth.com Go break it.

We just released c15t v2.2.0 c15t is growing faster than ever. 69.7% MoM growth. We've almost hit 5m npm downloads in total, and in the last 30 days hit 1.5m downloads alone.

2.2 adds more of the consent-aware primitives teams need in real apps, and it had the most external contributions we’ve seen so far, which we couldn't be prouder about.

We're opening early access to the new @Inth before our public launch. we'll run a free privacy scan of your codebase and website if you're in engineering, legal, or growth at a fast growing or enterprise company, plus give you a big discount on any paid features.

The goal is to help you catch privacy gaps in your product before they delay launches or harm customer trust. We're already working with some great teams and have room for a few more. Interested? Comment or DM me.

YC’s latest RFS calls for AI-Native Compliance Infrastructure. For us at Inth, we know privacy has always lived in the codebase. The problem is that most privacy platforms have never treated it that way. We’re unveiling new Inth tooling next week that tackles exactly this.

I will be speaking about the New Generation of Trust Platforms soon. This is the category we are building toward, and I cannot wait to show what we have been working on.

It is not obvious from the outside yet, but that does not change what is happening. The wedge is there. The pattern is repeating. The market already knows the truth.

That is the part most people underestimate. Trust is not a soft value. Trust is a multi-billion dollar asset. Cambridge Analytica knocked more than $50B off Facebook’s market cap because the market understood what had really been broken. It was not just data. It was trust.

That is why we are building Inth. We are building the company that helps businesses keep the trust they have spent years earning, before it breaks, before customers lose confidence, and before a privacy problem becomes a business problem.

That was not a one-off. The same pattern keeps showing up. More teams know about c15t than it looks like from the outside. The seed has already been planted, and there are thousands of companies that understand the truth here.

Since then, customer calls have started to feel different. The conversation does not start from zero anymore. It starts halfway in. People have seen the talks, they know the story, and they understand why c15t exists before we even get on the call.

One customer told me it felt like he was “talking to a celebrity.” Not because of me, but because he had watched the conference talks, understood the market, and came in prepared. Really prepared. He understood the problem, the stakes, and why c15t is the best tool in the market.

Demo Day is in 7 days at @ycombinator. Quick recap since we joined YC: - ran our first Launch Week - rebranded the company to Inth.com - c15t crossed 3M npm downloads - hit 912k npm downloads in May - grew 46.4% month over month - served 32.4M hosted consent sessions in May

- started the first design partner work for what comes after c15t: agents that inspect codebases for privacy and compliance issues - got much clearer on the wedge: c15t earns trust with developers, then we expand from consent into the codebase The bigger thing we learned:

Code is moving faster and faster. Teams can barely inspect it for bugs now, let alone keep it up to date with compliance. So we’re building Inth for the place compliance now has to live: inside the codebase. Still feels like the beginning.

- passed 2,600 public sites detected by Wappalyzer - teams like Zed, Cal, Parabola, Unkey, Infisical, Kernel, and others are using c15t - started converting open-source usage into hosted revenue - opened platform conversations with major AI app builders, frameworks, and commerce platforms

Most teams add consent at the very end of a launch. By then, it’s already fighting with performance and UX. With c15t and Inth, we bring consent into code and back it with managed infrastructure, so it ships with your app instead of after it.
