For many new coders, LLMs are so good at writing the code, asking it to write the ReadMe sounds like a good idea. Clearly it’s the first impression your project makes so handwriting it is important. Being turned off by the project because o

Just because the ReadMe is slop, doesn’t mean the code is slop. People are starting to make apps for themselves now and open-sourcing them so they’re not putting much thought into the ReadMe or distribution. This just means ReadMe’s are les

Tailscale is truly a cheat code. I have a web app that I run locally to control terminals on my Mac. I access the website on my phone using the 100.xx IP address and can code on the go. No need for a Mac or iOS app. You can also use Tailsca

I built a terminal control plane and added an MCP server that runs on my Mac. It lets MCP clients create terminal sessions, send messages, read the contents, etc on my Mac. The terminal sessions are running Luna on XHigh (on Pi) and GPT 6 P

But even that is being enshittified. You have to pay for some returns now. And people have been putting defective to get free shipping returns and Amazon has just started a fee for returning items for the wrong reason.

Yes Amazon’s power is very difficult to overcome. The hope with my marketplace is that stores will offer cheaper prices since we are interfacing with them directly and they are not paying Amazon a cut. Also, Amazon Prime is affordable now,

It’s exactly what it is: https://github.com/openshiporg/marketplace We have people using it for B2B distribution as well, opportunities are endless. You can reach me at junaid[at]openship.org

It’s because LLMs are a threat to Google Shopping too. But as a consumer, why would I want another middleman?

Yes but users can build adapters and bring their own stores.

You can use our vetted stores but add your own, it’s not restricted.

Before I could build this decentralized marketplace, I had to build open-source SaaS that the sellers use. All of that is handled by that platform. The chat simply interfaces with the API just like the built in storefront does. The marketpl

3PLs and warehouse distribution channels have gotten better and are cheaper than using FBA shipping outside Amazon. Did you know the biggest sellers on Amazon normally have their own website and in fact, orders from Amazon flow directly int

Exactly, Shopify can become a new Amazon with Shop but then you’re just trading Amazon for Shopify. It’s why I’m building open-source SaaS for every vertical and that’s what powers the marketplace. You can read the ethos to learn more[0] 0.

People don’t realize how big of a threat LLMs are to marketplaces like Amazon, because down the line people will just be talking to AI agents to help them find products, check out, do all of these things. So you’re probably like, why can’t

What about an opensource agentic commerce chat where you have a vetted list of stores but can add your own?
19.
by theturtletalks 11d ago
Exactly right. With LLMs, you can go directly to the website and checkout instead of going thru Amazon so they can collect their commission. It’s actually why I’m building an open-source, decentralized Amazon alternative that’s powered by a

Once Siri gets MCP support, it’ll be my main orchestrator. I built an app that lets me run terminals on my MacBook. It’s a Next app so I can go to that website on my phone using Tailscale. It has a built-in MCP server, so I can connect it t

Nice strawman you got there. Meth is a man made synthetic compound. Fungi cover this earth and are one of the few natural drugs that cause brain elasticity and can cause personality change. The theory is real and, of course, controversial[0

by theturtletalks 14d ago
It’s a controversial theory, but it does exist[0]. As far as I know, there is no prevailing theory about where consciousness came from so speculating based on existing theories isn’t claiming it’s the truth. Is it such a leap that fungi are
24.
by theturtletalks 14d ago
True, but my point isn’t that. It’s that fungi operate as an interconnected network so it makes the connection between them, neural networks, and consciousness interesting.

by theturtletalks 15d ago
Fungi grow as a vast interconnected network and can communicate to other fungi. Similarly to how the neurons in the brain communicate. In fact, when you take fungi, it tones down common neural pathways and allows new ones to form between ne

I read many years ago that psychedelics are what lead to the formation of consciousness. And it’s supported by the fact that psychedelics are also a network like the brain is. And when taking them, your brain experiences plasticity and that

No, this is the platform to post on. You hacked something neat together and posted about it. I really liked how you made it agent first and gave it an MCP server so you can give any agent a tmux like multiplexer to use as subagents. So many

Interoperability that POSSE and ATPROTO provide will free us from the network effect. You know what saves us from the network effect? Interoperability.
