No x?
Do people still think twitter is a valuable place (besides being bot owners).
Value? Are others valuable? Why are they buying bots if there's nobody else? At least it's an RSS reader :)
Show HN: I built a social media management tool in 3 weeks with Claude and Codex

#112I wanted to test how far AI coding tools could take a production project. Not a prototype. A social media management platform with 12 first-party API integrations, multi-tenant auth, encrypted credential storage, background job processing, approval workflows, and a unified inbox. The scope would normally keep a solo developer busy for the better part of a year. I shipped it in 3 weeks. Before writing any code, I spen…
This is amazing. I started doing the same, but I did not have the time to polish it. Questions: why no X? Do you have a feature to resize (summarize?) to the text to fit into short boxes?
Maybe because of the API access issues? I built almost the same system as OP, but I had to drive a browser to post to X because the API was too expensive for a single person to afford. A few weeks ago they switched it so it's pennies a post now and I could finally integrate the API.

How much do it cost in token?
I built something very, very similar using Github Copilot and the whole thing cost me less than the $10/mo I spend because I know I still had credits left after I was done.

The password manager I use full time now is “Kenpass”, which has exactly one user: me. I have it on iOS/macOS/Linux, browser extensions, CLI and (native, no electron) UI for each, syncs with my homelab server over my wireguard tunnel, and it covers all my use cases. Took me maybe a…
> I have it on iOS/macOS/Linux, browser extensions, CLI and (native, no electron) UI for each, syncs with my homelab server over my wireguard tunnel, and it covers all my use cases. Took me maybe a week (a few hours total, spread around.) A few hours including iOS? Don't you need to go through lots of hoops even if it's only for personal use? Isn't it time-limited or something?
It does require a developer account at $100 a year, yes. But that's it: Once you have that, the app is not time-limited or anything. I can just install it to my device (wirelessly) via Xcode and I'm done.
It's probably only worth the $100/year if there are other apps you want to make for yourself though. I have other ideas for apps for my family, so I figured it's worth the cost. It sucks that I have to pay at all though, I admit.

That's interesting - I thought apps that didn't go through the App Store but were in "developer mode" were time-limited, but maybe I confused it with "share with family" rather than pure personal solo
use.
Sounds like you wrote it in Swift(?), did it also do a good job at the autofill code? That's what I'd expect it to potentially struggle at, as it could be a rare and particularly native feature. But then the APIs should be well standardized for iOS.
Very cool and inspiring stuff!

#116AI generated README, AI generated code, and the creator can't even be bothered to write comments without generating them with AI (which btw goes against the rules of this site). How is this being upvoted - did the creator use his own tool to bot this submission?

The autofill code is actually Safari's, not the password manager. The password manager basically just needs to impmlement ASCredentialProviderViewController (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationserv...) and include the "AutoFill Credential Provider" entitlement and safari will ask if you want to sign in with Kenpass for websites and apps.
For firefox (desktop) it's a bit harder, you have to actually implement login box detection. It works like half the time, but I don't really mind much, because it's not a huge deal to just use the clipboard. Even when using 1Password I would so often find that the password autofill was so broken (or would constantly offer me to save passwords I don't want to, or for things that aren't even login boxes) that I actually actively hated it. When creating logins, I much prefer taking an explicit step to activate my password manager to do so, and when prompting for logging in, it's not a huge deal to simply copy/paste when the simple detection doesn't work.

probably AI upvoted as well, i'm flabbergasted as to how something like this can end up on the front page

#120Nice! A bot-built tool for posting content mostly generated by other bots and engaged with by bots. I don't mean to belittle the cool tool you made, I'm just grumpy about the loss of what the social network could have been and what we got when it morphed into social media.
what do you imagine the social network would/could/should become? Obviously what we have is not working for some folks.
