Asset management using automated and AI-driven trading for portfolio diversification and higher returns. Trading Results as a service.

> Initial allocations will open within the near-term future. For the founding investors (as we call the first clients), we also offer a portfolio review to align your portfolio with your long-term goals, a direct line to founders, and other things.

My first, probably cynical, thought was isn't this how Bernie Madoff started with his ponzi scheme?

Are you a registered broker/trader?

I'm working on a real-life social app called Holler ( https://justhollerapp.com ). I'm an introvert and socially anxious, but I do enjoy hanging out with my friends. I just HATE the invitation-and-coordination game. If someone invites me and I don't want to go, I hate having to come up with a socially acceptable excuse. Inviting someone and waiting for them to make a socially acceptable excuse is equally awful to me.…

Awesome to see no trackers on the website. Hopefully the apps are as privacy focused :)

The twitter and email icons on the website are broke-looking.

The privacy policy is not confidence-inducing. E2EE for user content and location would be great.

We're working on an apartment hunting agent called Fless (https://fless.io).

Tell us what apartment you want.

We filter, sort and reach out to confirm apartments actually have a unit that meets your criteria by the move-in date you're looking for.

If they do, we schedule a tour for you and manage your calendar to ensure all the tours you book are nicely coordinated (with Uber rides scheduled if you need!).

No more emails, texts or spreadsheets and we also protect your privacy from post tour spam.

Once you find the unit you want we help you review the lease agreement, know what discounts to ask for and assist with scheduling movers who won't rip you off.

We're curious about how many people are using agents like Perplexity, OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude or others that support open skills and MCP to find an apartment.

We recently launched skills and MCP integration for agents at https://fless.io/ai-agents or via github / PyPI and other channels.

Check them out and let us know what you think - we respond to DMs!

I've been working on a general repository linter. The idea is to declaratively define a set of rules/conventions for your repo, (for things that language-specific linters don't cover), covering things from directory structure, required files, file staleness/freshness, file size, rules for binary files, rules around use of invisible Unicode, etc. - which can be checked deterministically. Many/most large repos have a s…

It would be great if I could integrate this into our existing (and rather extensive) eslint config as as a plugin of some sort rather than integrate yet another new tool to our dev environment. Any plans for that?

Yes, this is on the right roadmap, and going to be prioritized now that someone has a real use case. Thanks!
