I like this - I think you're not too far off of what's popular these days though. I think similar functionality can be achieved by using the "hook" functionality in claude code / codex.


I've been using both on a Rust codebase and have found both work fairly well. Claude code is definitely more capable than Gemini. What difficulties have you had?

The biggest pain point I've had is that both tools will try to guess the API of a crate instead of referencing the documentation. I've tried adding an MCP for this but have had mixed results.

It might be that we have multiple features in our codebase and Gemini seems to struggle understanding that it needs to be aware of #[cfg(feature = "x")] and also that if it's trying to run things, it might need to specify the feature.

And yes, when they guess APIs, it's highly annoying.


Congrats on the launch! This is really cool - one of the applications of LLM I find most compelling. I've seen so many back office processes that have hundreds of steps, are incredibly error prone, and traditionally couldn't be automated due to API limitations. Solutions like Skyvern are going to supercharge businesses that have had historically low margins due to the number of humans required. (Not as a replacement for a human, but as a force multiplier)


The most fascinating part is how tough that work really is. Everyone we've talked to loathes the manual stuff, but until a better solution comes out, you have to allocate X% of your time to it


Only if you require text message based two factor. Password managers like 1Password allow you to store your OTP within them and share that + the password internally within your team


I've set up multiple times a phone-to-Slack proxy for this exact reason. In my case it was a VoIP number, but if that's blocked, Android has many SMS-to-webhook apps and even entry-level industrial LTE routers generally have this feature so you can use a real SIM card.


Nice work on this! I love that it has a lightweight backlog built in and that I can describe what my current task is.

One small feedback- the motion design is waaay too much. You should consider dialing it back 2-3x.


Thanks for the feedback!

Yes the idea was to create a tool to help you go through your day, not something super complex (we all already have our systems in place)

Gotcha for the motion, I'll reduce it a bit :)


Thanks! Came to this thread hoping for something like these. They look useful!


Their CTO did a demo of TimeGPT at their launch event last month [1]. It definitely appears to be a very easy tool to use. Love that it's zero shot!

Regardless, need to see more benchmarks to better understand its true performance. If it holds up it would be a big win for time forecasting.

This is really great. Congrats on shipping it! You might find https://www.lingq.com helpful as a source of inspiration. I think it's a fairly similar concept.

LingQ's killer feature for me is that as you click on words (or phrases - which I find really helpful btw) to translate them, they are added to your vocabulary list. It will automatically create flashcards for you from this list for SRS. Plus when you're reading a new story, words that are in your vocab list are highlighted yellow and new words are highlighted blue.


I built that feature for Japanese: https://reader.manabi.io will bring to more languages soon and more platforms beyond iOS/macOS


Yes, I use Lingq as well and found it the most useful app so far for learning languages out of the dozens that I have tried.


thank you! I will have a look at LingQ, it does look interesting. Some other people also asked me to add the vocabulary list for Webbu too, so that should be coming soon :).

There is a large graveyard of startups that have tried to crack open this market. It's a quite hard concept to execute on.

Some companies have made headway in eyewear and shoes (https://www.amazon.com/b?node=23595320011). Clothing is much more difficult - a lot of variety in body shape to accommodate.


Yes, I realize that trying clothes on me is difficult, I don't want to do it.

I want to solve the problem of "I bought sneakers, came home and realized that they don't match my pants and shirts at all".

Maybe you've seen something like that?
