The domain + company name trick is solid — wish I'd known that earlier. And agreed on parsing page source for tech stack detection, it's surprisingly reliable and the cost is literally zero. The last_engaged timestamp filter is a

Thanks for the insight on prompt drift. You're right — flat prose breaks down fast across iterations. We ended up with a similar solution: a modular spec system where the engine rules (shared across all brands) and theme files (brand-s

"No dedicated QA bot, but there's a feedback loop built in. Every post's performance data — likes, reposts, views, replies — gets fed back into the prompt templates. We run A/B variations on copy style and posting times,

Guilty as charged on this one. The dashboard visuals are CSS animations — the data behind them isn't live yet. I've been trying to pipe real systemd logs into it but haven't cracked the architecture cleanly enough to ship it.

Fair challenge on the ROI question. Honest origin story: I work in financial services. Every day I need to post updates, share market info, and stay visible to clients — it's part of the job. I built MindThread because I was spending h

I want to address the skepticism directly. Yes, my English is poor. I write everything in Chinese first, then use AI to translate. Every word is mine — the ideas, the context, the intent. The AI is just the bridge. If that feels like cheati

"Fair catch on both points. The batch of replies: I had a list of expected questions and drafted answers beforehand. When I finally had time to respond, I posted them all at once. Not real-time typing — that's why the timing looks

My monthly side income now covers 20x my Claude subscription plus a pork rice bowl with an extra egg — and it only took three months, without touching my main job hours. Honestly that's kind of insane, which is why I had to share this.

A bit of context on why I built this: 3 months ago I had zero experience with any of this — no AI development, no automation, no open source. I'm a solo founder in Taiwan where smartphone penetration is nearly universal but AI adoption

The animations are CSS-driven, but the data behind them is real — agent heartbeats, task counts, and activity logs are pulled from actual systemd timer outputs. It's not a mock dashboard, though I'll admit the visual polish probab

My setup is WSL2 on a regular Windows machine — no GPU, so local inference would be painfully slow Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier is genuinely good enough — 1,500 req/day, I use ~105. Quality is solid for content generation and analysis ta

Thanks! The dashboard is one of my favorite parts of this project. It actually pulls real agent activity data — the visualizations are live, not pre-rendered. Working on making it a product: customizable agent dashboards for other teams run

I understand the skepticism. To clarify what's actually shipped: MindThread: Threads automation SaaS with paying subscribers (only one in Taiwan using Meta's official API) UltraProbe: AI security scanner covering OWASP LLM Top 10

I get why it reads that way, but this post was written by me. I actually spent more time on this Show HN than on most client deliverables this week. The irony isn't lost on me though — when you work with LLMs all day, your own writing

100% agree. Content generation is where agents shine — it's repetitive and time-consuming. But genuine engagement is where trust gets built, and that needs to be real. My engagement scripts do auto-reply to comments on my own posts, bu

Good questions, happy to answer all of them: Revenue: Comes from client projects — I run a small tech agency (SaaS builds, AI integrations, brand websites). The agents handle lead gen and content so I can focus on delivery. MindThread (Thre

Ha! Not hallucinated, just a typo in the org name. Correct link: https://github.com/ppcvote/free-tier-agent-fleet

Thanks for catching that! The correct repo link is https://github.com/ppcvote/free-tier-agent-fleet — I used the wrong org name in the post. Everything's there: scripts, timers, config, and docs.
