Introducing OpenHelm: OpenClaw but free (using your Claude Code subscription) Download: openhelm.ai/ GitHub: github.com/maxbeech/openhelm I tried OpenClaw. It is awesome, but token use killed me, and like with Claude Code scheduling, I ended up spending most of my time managing failed executions and tweaking prompts. I built OpenHelm to fix this. It’s a local macOS app that turns your high-level goals into a self-running job queue, built directly on top of your existing Claude Code subscription. Happy to answer any questions!

spent too much time babysitting claude code. write a prompt, wait for it to finish, check the output, kick off the next step.built openhelm to fix this. set a goal once & it handles the rest — schedules recurring jobs, auto-retries failures, self-adjusts when things break.

Real pleasure to join @mattedmundson on the eCommerce Podcast to discuss how to build customer relationships. Most brands get this wrong, and it is a big reason why I launched getathenic.com 🎧open.spotify.com/episode/39a… 🍎podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… 📹youtube.com/watch?v=iVSAd3SQ…

dope!

INCREDIBLY excited to share the next step for Athenic. Website owners can now build a much deeper relationship with every single customer TLDR; if your conversion or retention rates aren't as you'd like, let's chat → getathenic.com #website #ai #ecommerce #growth

Excited to finally share what I’ve been building: Athenic, a co-pilot designed to make a 1-person unicorn possible, starting with automating organic social marketing. 👉 Use it free: getathenic.com 💬 30 sec feedback: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… And what better way to share cool AI with a video produced with cool AI, so here's a launch video produced using Sora 2. Edited from over 300(!) Sora 2-generated videos, real voiceover and real screen recordings.

day 115 building in public vibe coding is killing my speed. not because it's making me a slower dev, but because it's making it all too easy to split my focus by opening another terminal tab. thank you to @musingsbymima and Arul for helping me truly realise this. so here we go. taking my first week off to focus on jone thing, and it's not Chaos (hopefully in more ways than one).

day 114 building in public. launched an updated site today!

day 110 building in public. all I can think to call this is the law of diminishing vibes. i start vibe coding something, and the initial 80% of the app built takes 20% of the time, and the final 20% takes AT LEAST 80% of the time with more complexity and more potentially failing tests, it's almost impossible to truly vibe code something functional feel like I can't be alone here.

little hack I've been trying out today as I try to find a painkiller for my multitasking: write down your current step before leaving a task. definitely making switching back less painful.

who else has a drawer of mysterious wires you refuse to throw out just in case?

my brain: let’s start this project. also my brain: what if we research medieval farming tools instead.

day 109 building in public. just launched my first ever Apple ad. used basic mode. scarily easy to setup. curious to see what happens. 👀
