Some use cases: - i can ask it to check my slack/basecamp and tell me if something needs attention when i am not on my work desk - i can finally vibe code without sacrificing my actual active work-time. this means vibe coding even when i am away from my computer/work-desk. - a bug/issue comes, i just ask it to fix it and send PR and it does - it daily checks for new sentry issues and our product todo list and makes PRs for things it can do well

these are mostly code related things i know. but thats not it.

- i have asked it to make me content (based on my specific instructions) every day or every x day just like how i create content - i can ask it to work on anything. make images, edit images. listen to voice msgs that people send me and tell me what they say (when i dont want to listen to 3m voice msgs) - i can aksk it to research about things, find items that i want to buy, etc. - i can ask it to negotiate price of an item it found in a marketplace - it does alot of things that i had to manually do in my work

these are jsut after 2-3 days of using openclaw.

I suggest you use a platform like justblogged.com.

Shameless plug, yes I built it.

I built JustBlogged because I got frustrated trying to start a personal blog.

WordPress felt like signing up to be a sysadmin. Ghost was expensive for a side project. Medium doesn't give you ownership.

What I built: - 2 minute setup - Custom domain + free SSL included forever - Fast by default (<1s loads) - Free tier that's actually usable - REST API for programmatic posting - Fully customizable themes - Distraction-free writing experience

Tech: Edge-deployed on Cloudflare Workers, global CDN, auto image optimization, fully scalable, no matter how many visitors.

Free forever tier. Pro is $9/mo for branding removal and advanced themes.

Would love what you guys and gals think.

Once the API was live and documented, I started noticing something interesting:

- Technical users began signing up specifically for API access. Agencies, marketers with automation workflows, and folks using tools like Zapier or n8n. - These users converted to paid plans faster than normal users. - They barely needed any support: they just read the docs and started building. - Most importantly, they stuck around. Once someone connects you to their workflow, you're basically embedded in their system.

I didn't even promote the API much. Just quietly added docs and made it accessible. In hindsight, I should've done this way earlier.

Another reason to focus on API-first product development for us.

Interested in learning how it went for others having their product exposed through an API (or even Zapier/n8n integration). And, any strategies to promote the API further when your primary customer profile is not technical/API-consumer?

I see many bloggers use stock images for their blog posts (as featured images or as in-post images). I thought of something and started trying to use AI to replace those images. I built a small tool for this so others can also test it out.

It takes text content (ideally, the blog post intro in case of a featured image or the text content about whatever you want the image about) and gives you an image.

It works for me but I am still testing this. How about you guys?

I struggle and find it hard and time-consuming to write content for my social media accounts and so I started building this. I know that AI models can help, but it's taken me some time and research into them before creating something myself so other people might find this useful as well!

The tool takes care of all those pesky tasks like suggesting topics or writing original content - saving you hours every day in tedious work.

All you have to do is fill in some details about the content you want it to write about and voila, instant results.

Here is the demo: https://socialbu.com/tools/generate-posts

Here is an example: https://i.imgur.com/ZYjfnAA.png

The reason for sharing this is I want to know if this is really useful to others or if I am just alone.
