@raroque Nice. Ya tie it into my bank account and monitor expenses to the local donut shop. Then every time I buy there it auto post to the world.

Anyone wish they could forward an email to a specific custom API?

I built a system that can do that for a side project of mine

It takes the email and breaks it up into a json dataset with links to the attachments.

Curious if anyone was looking for a simple tool like that?

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@BrettFromDJ I don't think it "kills the roadmap". It just compresses the iterations in between to your target goals. Let's you get more shots on goals

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@raroque Nice work! Ya I can get the challenges with open sourcing something like this. I even started to build my own personal AI agent as well, leaning on claude agent sdk to do it. Will have to review your code and see what I can pull from it. Thanks man!

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@raroque Nice! Exactly what I needed. I was playing with opeclaw which worked pretty well but ya didn't love may things around that.

May tinker with this next

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@raroque Ever used it? Any good ?

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@raroque Nice work man !

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@raroque I haven't used mid journey yet . What do you think you spend to create animations like that?

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@raroque Easy to setup overall?

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

Finally coming around to Claude code in the terminal. Just realized you can paste images and that might do it for me

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@chogku Gotcha, makes sense. Curious to see how well it works out.

I created a few SEO related skills myself but they were more targeted to my specific needs based on my experience.

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@chogku Ahh nice! Thanks for sharing. And ya I could see these skills being useful but worry about someone elses opinions being applied to my codebase without proper context.

Did you feel all the recommendations were solid?

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

No I setup everything so I can test from my phone.

I use Claude to write code and push up to PR

Then automatically vercel kicks in, builds the project, and pushes to vercel preview branch

On top of that I have a neon integration with vercel so that automatically creates a database preview branch.

Then I test the preview branch and if that's good I fire a GitHub action to create a migration script for any database changes and then push to prod.

It's crazy ha, I'd prefer desktop but I'm just able to be around my laptop as much as I'd like in my free time.

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

@raroque Claude is amazing. I'm all in on it. The mobile app works great too.

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

Tried pushing a big batch of cold messages on Facebook and pretty sure I hit their limits..

Turns out I should stick to about 10 to 20 a day if I don’t want to get throttled.

Might need to find another way to get sign ups, this will take forever...

[Matthew Ellison @aMattEllison]

Ok I’ve been manually messaging people on Facebook from a search list.

The first hundred went through fine with about a 10% failure rate.

Now over half of my latest batch will not send.

Not sure if these people are outside my network or if Facebook is limiting how many messages I can send.

Has anyone run into this before?
