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.

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.

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.
