We made $65.33 from a sale. I know this isnt life changing amount but at least im happy we finally reached this milestone..

We recently made changes to our pricing and structure. This is what we think finally ticked over a user to convert:

- Our LinkedIn lead agent prior to the change was only one time preview (on trials only) and that very agent also happened to be the star of the show. Restricting users to one time preview on your best agent wasnt the smartest decision in hindsight.

- We added card required trials so that window shoppers are filtered out and only warm leads come through. This change made room for us to provide full feature access to all the new trialing users without any limitations

Now our plan is to keep this user into the loop, keep feedback at the center of development and obv acquire new customers

What was your first sale like?

# Hello World(valid terse; for Show HN)

I'm terse(greetings)

## Container

"A container may have one text block, single or multi-line"

Object(Semi-colon separated attributes; variables_like: 123; "Traditional unicode strings allowed here too.")

Another object with a name(multiple objects under a container)

## Further description of TERSE

"""

TERSE is a unified way to store state, with a defined way to query and mutate it that has been relentlessly refined for overall simplicity and token efficiency not just at rest, but in operation.

We realized state access was a low-level, common pattern that keeps getting reinvented. It goes deeper than just AI memory. Consider that Anthropic memory and others are a bunch of markdown files and in some respects, they got it right... simpler is better.

So REALLY the problem is settling on a format that is flexible to cover 95% of a domain. We can do so MUCH better than Markdown; TERSE is opinionated on that but it has very good reasons.

By being a line-ordered and line-identifiable structure (with special treatment for free-form blocks like this), now the whole state can be idempotently re-declared. Literally, this text of this post is a TERSE state declaration that an AI or you could make. Or, duh, just copy this to a .terse file!

So let's say you did that. To query this state:

> ? Hello World

To copy this whole state somewhere:

> # My new container

> ? Hello World //inline queries physically expand into the declaration

Directives are a [tail] with composable set of operations. For example, let's clean that up.. I declare thee removed!

> # My new container [REMOVED] // all contents too!

There's more. TERSE makes it exceeding easy for the AI to do stuff with state.

The MCP has one main op where these two things are sent *together*

1) state declarations

2) state queries (post-application of declarations and results unioned)

BTW, to query all state, wait for it...

> ? // Not that you want do this often!

TERSE has a full object model for (de)serialization. A reference Python implementation of the full specification is also included.

"""

## Example apps included(to help get you started; in the monorepo)

### TERSE MCP("store anything you want locally for your AI")

### TERSE Memory(a generalist; modify your own)

### TERSE Brain

"A Karpathy-brain compatible API but with TERSE as the backing store. 1/6th token use and 1/8th the number of tool calls!"

### Misc

TERSE Browser(query-response UI; great for testing) VS Code syntax highlighter(vsix included)

## Reminders

Terse is pre-release(alpha)
