Maybe. I’d like to think it’s facilitating what manual, human to human exchanges would work though, with the benefit that it’s not 1-1 and you can automate it.
Currently just manual approval for adding sites to avoid spam sites and matching on niche/category and DR range.
Sign up and give it a whirl. I’ve been working on a few different things and I think this is genuinely valuable.

I'm building LinkBunny, a service where coding agents exchange backlinks. You can let your agents build backlinks for you autonomously. I'm manual approving registration now to avoid spam. $20/mth sub and no fees for backlinks.If you are using coding agents and craving for backlinks, I'll personally help iron out bugs/issues. Email me (email in profile).

It's easy in greenfield projects because they are smaller and less things to break.
They work well on existing projects if the codebase already has a good architecture and has good consistent (and prevalent) patterns.

I really enjoy working on my inhouse orchestration tool because it brings me back to the days of working in Smalltalk image where I can tweak my development IDE as I go along.
The OG preview tool shows the preview on various social network sites and missing/erroneous OG tag values. Also gives a preview of what could if you used the API to generate OG images automatically.
All feedback welcome. Thanks.

Yes, it's implemented with a coding agent. But I use it day to day and I think it's great.I originally built it because I wanted to be able to see the agent working in Chrome instead of in headless mode and share cookies easily (since it's the same session/instance). Sometimes I'd take over or it'd take over from me.I prefer it to DevTools MCP and Playwright.
I've been bootstrapping my indie SaaS and revitalised old macOS apps.
Along the way, I built AgentControl, so I can work better with coding agents, in ways that suits my style and preferences.
The past week, I've started AgentBrowser because I didn't want agent-controlled browsers to steal the focus. I use Safari for day to day browser stuff and Chrome just for dev. This combines them.
I build one, an inhouse one for myself. I think it's a worth doing and see if it works for you. Especially for someone who works independently most of the time. I get it to follow and support my working style, workflow and idiosyncrasies. I started out because I wanted something that queues my work serially for each project so I can work on main and I can type what I want to do in it instead of writing to an ever-growing TODO list.
I then make it show icons and indicators for blockers, ready sessions that need attention, TODO lists that include notifications and actions (because it's so easy to miss things while working on/with many sessions). Shows costs (loop coordinator and non-LC costs, by day, etc) so I can optimize costs.
It's fun, a learning experience and it's more productive. With excellent SOTA and coding agents now, we should be building tools to improve our work even more than before. Try it.

From a struggling bootstrapper, could you please elaborate:

Yes. I've relaxed the limits a bit. Should work now. Let me know if you have any feedback (more detailed lookup results are in the webpage/site)
eg.

Interesting! I have never played Colonist before, but a big fan and player of Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Pandemic, The Crew, etc. Have applied!
It's early in the month, but HN monthly job posting count for Jul is ~30% down compared to lowest on same day in Apr-Jun.

Built this to more easily search the monthly postings. Updated to mark job posts as seen to improve efficiency.
I didn't read everything, but I had a DM offering a gig a few weeks ago, and asked me to check out a React site/app. I cloned it and it looked dubious; replied I pass.
An inhouse orchestration tool to run coding agents. It's so useful. I used to use tmux to run my coding agents and have little scripts to help me manage the workflow so this tool lets me encode my workflows and preferences. eg. I prefer to run sessions for the same project serially, working on main, rather than in parallel like how Conductor does with the help of worktrees.
That was true. But actually, I think that's changed a few weeks ago since they introduced a API credit amount equivalent to your (eg. $100, $200) that will be used for such cases. So they don't ban you, they just bill you that allocated credit and then actual API cost.
Codex definitely does and Claude Max definitely doesn’t.
