Some founders build in public. The Public Founder Diary lets you publish a stream of co-founder briefings to a unique URL — /v1/cofounder/diary/<your-slug> — with revenue and credentials automatically scrubbed.

Enable

A unique slug is auto-generated the first time you enable. Get it back via:
You’ll see public_diary_slug: "yourname-a3kf9q". Share https://api.appeeky.com/v1/cofounder/diary/yourname-a3kf9q publicly.

What gets sanitized

Every diary entry is the briefing markdown + the headline + a small metricsSummary object. We strip anything sensitive:

Public response

Disable / pause

Disabling stops new entries from being published. Existing entries remain in cofounder_public_diary (set is_public=false if you want to retract them).

Use cases

  • Build in public — wire the slug to a personal site or Twitter bot.
  • Investor updates — a single shareable link instead of weekly emails.
  • Accountability — committing publicly to ship something this week tends to make you actually do it.
  • Hiring — show prospective teammates how you actually run your business.

Privacy notes

  • The diary endpoint requires no authentication — anyone with the slug can read it. Treat the slug like a “shareable” link.
  • You can rotate the slug by clearing it directly in the database (UI coming soon) — old links will 404 once a new entry hasn’t been published in a while.
  • We never expose the underlying report object publicly — only the sanitized briefing markdown is returned.
