I’d argue it’s not worth it. Engagement and referral traffic from it continue to tank.

Do people still think twitter is a valuable place (besides being bot owners).
I know some people have ideological things going on that make them choose different networks, but they have more than half a billion active users so it's not exactly a ghost town.
how many of those "active" users are just bots?

#33I am genuinely in the "target market" for a tool such as this, but having evaluated one previously I found the quality and self-hosting experience to be pretty bad, and that a proprietary freemium product was still a better experience. I'm hesitant to even take a look at this project due to the whole "vibe coded in 3 weeks" thing, though. Hearing that says to me that this is not serious or battle-tested and might go…
We're entering an era where the delivering of software is cheap. Basically any idea can have an MVP implemented by one or two people in just a month or two now. Very quickly the industry is learning what the next set of bottlenecks are, now that the bottleneck is no longer writing code.
Planning, design, management alignment, finding customers, integrating with other products, waiting for review, etc. Basically all the human stuff that can't be automated away.
Your comment reminds me to add building a support team to the list.

You can vibe code minor fixes to some annoyances including the clanker managing the whole fork/pull request flow if you want to contribute back for $20/mo on codex or claude (though $20 is the free trial tier there, codex is nearly so since last week but should be good enough... for now).

#35Does it work with multiple social accounts? E.g. if I have 100 customers whose social medias I manage for content posting.

Was it ever?
Even before llm, writing software, or at least web clients, was as easy as it can get.

#37Is it in Rust too?

I agree, software (software startups) has always been the golden child of investors because of how cheap it is compared to hardware or any other physical good.
Good software is expensive regardless of the involvement of LLMs because you need someone to take responsibility. Large companies will save a buck because there may be fewer people needed to take said responsibility, but it's probably a marginal saving compared to the overall scheme of things.

#39I 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…
How much of the specs themselves came from the LLM? The development schedule https://github.com/brightbeanxyz/brightbean-studio/blob/main... has very AI-looking estimates for exampl and I can see a commit in the architecture.md file which is exclusively changing em-dashes to normal dashes (https://github.com/brightbeanxyz/brightbean-studio/commit/74...) which suggests you wanted to make it seem less LLM-generated?
I ask, not to condemn, but to find out what your process was for developing the requirements. Clearly it was done with LLM help but what was the refinement process?

The era of sharing some small programs that you made with others to benefit from is over imo.
You can just vibe code it yourself. If your requirements are narrower (eg. you only need support for 3 networks and not 12), you will end up with something that takes less time to develop (possibly less than a day), it will have a smaller surface for problems, and it will be much better tailored to your specific needs. If you pay attention to what the LLM is doing it will also be easier to maintain or extend further.
The surface for security vulnerabilities also gets narrower, since you "only" have to trust the LLM (which is still a huge ask, but still better than LLM + 1 random person).
