Hey, highly critical feedback incoming!

Worst CRM product name of all time, &:

  Contributing

  We'd rather have a paragraph you wrote than a pull request an agent wrote.
Ironic after scrolling through the readme just wishing you’d wrote it yourself.

There's no time to write a readme after writing 48k lines in less than two days (not including "Initial commit from create-turbo", "first commit", and "initial commit")

There’s a CRM called “Less annoying CRM” as I found out when searching for something like that a while ago.

The readme on this project is nonsensical, and seems to be full of trivial errors. Example: > CONTEXT_DEV_API_KEY Company logo, industry and socials from a domain.

It makes sense to me, but I have some prior CRM context.

My interpretation is:

Context.dev service API key to retrieve company logo, industry, and socials for a company domain […that agent had identified]

Just cant believe AI slop is getting 1k stars on github in two days. Nothing really innovative about this project, nothing you cannot do yourself in two days with a coding agent.

I wrote it before, OSS is changing in a way that will basically make it useless.

And Github doesn't let us see stargazers anymore, so we can't tell which repos bought stars.

I don’t any experience with CRMs, but I’ve had some discussions with a coworker about a skunk works project idea: mining our emails for “incidents” from our client’s representatives. Most of our emails falls into one bucket: sharing, or explaining some financial data. Once I a while there is an issue. Big issues flow up the chain of command. Small issues are knocked out. The question is, are these frequent but small issues indicative of a gap in our management. We don’t know what the other party is saying or thinking amongst themselves. There could be a simmering problem.

I’m still trying to get my head around what the heck we could do about it.

So I read this,

“…reports that something happened — a thread was ingested, a company was created, an attendee is unknown — by writing a row to a queue. The agent leases that row and decides what it means.”

I’m thinking, hmm. Yes. Something did happen. I want to know, what kind of something? how often does it happen?

I start to get upset stomach thinking this could be used against me in a court of boss’s opinions.

So my application is all skunk works. But is what I’m trying to understand “CRM” as you know it? Tangent of it?
