We are working on some big improvements to the backend and should have some cool stuff to share later this year :)

No trap yet, but thinking about it. Everyone else is a good internet citizen, but this has happened again and again.

Not one of the usual ones that has service problems :)

Does anyone have contacts for someone there who can help?

Their bots do not seem to respect our robots.txt file. They are hammering two specific pages that robots.txt makes off-limits to bots, and the majority of hits are on those two pages.

/bookshelf/action/book-dna

and

/bookshelf/historical-romance/book-dna

Fun fact: In the last 12 hours, Facebook's bot volume is 12x Microsoft, 19x Apple, and 20x Google.

Are some people using it in absolutely shitty ways? Yes, but that isn't the majority of the people playing with it.

The negativity I am seeing here is off the charts and undserved.

Come on HN.

Note: I'm an independent, but the current administration is incompetent on an embarrassing level.

The last time I talked to someone about OpenClaw and how it is helping them, they told me it tells them what their calendar has for them today or auto-tweets for them (i.e., non-human spam). The first is as simple as checking your calendar, and the second is blatant spam.

Anyone found some good use cases beyond a better interface for AI code assistance?

My wife read it and quit as well this year.

I think FB and other social media as something we will look back on as being worse than cigarettes.

Building a really unique book recommendation platform to help readers find books they might not otherwise know about. We just started working on a full book app that will be a private book diary, along with recommendations and insights based on your Book DNA. Think Goodreads, but rebuilt for readers who want a private space to track what they read, keep notes, and get truly personalized book recommendations (like Pandora or Spotify for books).

This is a fun one I do with a good friend. Basically, to see if a website is down, or if it is just you, along with reported reasons from the community. We are working to add user accounts so you can create your own custom lists of websites/services to track
