I recently installed OpenClaw (on a Hetzner VM, far away from my things). The setup was pretty easy and we got chatting over Telegram quickly.

At them moment it has some tasks, mostly periodic/cron:

- Scan TenderNet (public procurement website of my government) API for new procurements. Match to my profile. Send categorized matches over Telegram.

- Monitor an inbox (got one at AgentMail [0], a Ycombinator company, no affiliation) for emails with job descriptions. Match to my profile. Send categorized matches over Telegram.

- Create and monitor another inbox for invoices, make received emails into a PDFs, forward to my bookkeeping software (which can process invoices, but not if they are in the body of an email).

- I also gave it a folder that I expose to the web via Caddy, so I can quickly whip up demos. I did one somewhat useful thing with that so far.

So the pattern is: I make small automations, 1 of them does not even need an LLM, only the profile matching does. I do not integrate it into systems with important information. It essentially only processes public data.

It's fun, certainly, the LLM has the ST Voyager computer persona, answers with vulcan salutes, I call it nr. 1 from time tot time. The model underneath is easily switched (Claude Pro is limiting, now experimenting with a DeepSeek model, hope to one day do it all local on excess solar.)

So my question is, what do you use agents like this for? Is it strictly for fun or also for profit? I automate the tedious and try to find little things to do, but I could do these things by hand if I really wanted. Let's share some stories!

My thought this morning is this.

Are people so disenfranchised by advertisements on social media that communities, even those touted as "sideproject" or "solodev", no longer have people willing to try an MVP and provide feedback on a work in progress?

I spent 2 months building an app. I went against popular advice online stating to constantly create noise on social media and built it silently... Now, trying to get one person to spend 5 minutes using it and leave a comment feels impossible.

It is nothing particularly special - a Progressive Web App calorie counter. While polished and functional, it offers no AI to snap a picture or fancy UX gimmicks to wow users on the front page.

This is the first project I have built end-to-end, and after spending over a year with courses and tutorial projects, I am excited about how it turned out. It was a great learning experience building something end-to-end and setting up a backend with payments.

But the frustration that my two months of work not only gets no traction, but is actually downvoted on a PWA support community has somewhat floored me.

I want to propose that people are too fed up with well-disguised advertisements. Too expectant that something should be completely perfect before they deign to click on it. Too committed to rapid, low-mental-bandwidth scrolling to pause and invest even a moment in genuine and helpful interaction.

It seems that the only way to get users interested in your project is to have clout in the community you ask for feedback on. But as a private person who steers clear of doom-scrolling on social media, I'm a fish out of water.

Perhaps we need to overcome our jaded perception - that not all links to projects are advertisements, but sometimes an aspiring developer desperately hoping for someone with more experience to give a warm word of encouragement. To throw them a bone, open their app for 2 minutes, and force themselves to write a few sentences of thought before continuing to scroll.
