OpenAI Codex CLI just got way more agentic.
With /goal, you give it one objective and it keeps working across turns until the goal is done.
Master it this weekend. Bookmark this.
after experiencing agentic tasks flow with openclaw, of which i had setup a proper personal assistant covering all things personal life admin, i tried disbanding it and going back to prompt based AI agents via all tools: gemini, claude, chatgpt.
but after tasting the power of openclaw, im fully back on it. life’s much better.
the magic of time after kids are asleep:
a masters degree.
2 saas experiments.
5 apps across play store and app store.
date nights.
while making in roads with day job.
anything and everything LIVE is probably going to be the new content and marketing frontier. it’s not new, but consumers are going to increasingly seek and value real authentic content vs generated.
Built a PDF reader for my mother.
She’s 70. Needed to read documents, sign forms, highlight things. Basic stuff.
Every app I found wanted subscription or ads. For reading PDFs.
So I made one. ZenPDF Reader. No account.
No subscription. No “premium to unlock signatures.” Just open, read, sign, annotate. Done.
The goal was simple: my mother should never feel lost. Big buttons. Clear labels. Nothing hidden three menus deep. If she has to ask me how to do something, I failed.
Took two weeks. Mostly because I kept removing things. Features are easy to add.
Knowing what to leave out is harder.
It’s free on Play Store now. Not “free with ads.” Not “free trial.” Just free. Because reading your own documents shouldn’t cost money.
If you have elderly parents struggling with bloated PDF apps, maybe this helps.
@Dwriteway great way to reframe. been seeing discussions on how do people handle and manage stress without smoking or drinking. this reframing helps orient oneself to what matters most.
