Introducing the Flare affiliate program
Freek
We're proud to announce that we have started our affiliate program
Using this program, you can generate a link (like https://flareapp.io?via=your-name) that you can include in your blog posts, tweets, or anywhere on the web. If somebody clicks that link and subscribes to Flare in the next 30 days, you'll get 20% of all revenue the new user generates. So to be clear, you'll get a cut for as long as new user has a subscription. Sweet!
And of course, The more people subscribe via your link, the more money you earn.
After you've created your affiliate account, you'll get access to a beautiful dashboard where you can track your visits and earnings.
There, you can also download logos and banners that you can use to promote Flare.
You'll find more info on all of this on our brand new affiliate program page.

Why we removed AI solutions from Flare
AI generated solutions are dead, long live AI generated solutions! We removed the old one-shot fixes from a model that could only see the stack trace. It simply couldn't compete with modern agentic AI. In their place, Flare works with the agentic AI tools you already use: an MCP server that handles real triage, a CLI with an agent skill, quick Copy for AI prompts in the UI and docs served as markdown. Hosted agents are in the works too.

Flare now uses OAuth for MCP, the CLI, and API
Connect MCP clients like Claude and Cursor to Flare by logging in from your browser, no more copying API tokens. Every connection gets its own permissions, so you can give your AI read-only access to a single project. The CLI signs in the same way, and new personal access tokens with scopes and expiry cover scripts and CI.
