Canva has more expansive editing tools but I agree, it seems like a frenemies situation.

we arent bots because we disagree with you. I switch between codex and opus, they have their differing strengths. As many people have mentioned, opus in the past few weeks has had less than stellar results. Generally I find opus would rather stub something and do it the faster way than to do a more complete job, although its much better at front end. I've had times where I've thrown the same problem at opus 4/5 times without success and codex gets it first shot. Just my experience.

So what am i then? i only replied to someone claiming people are bots for having an opinion. I use opus regularly and its great.

I've had good experiences with codex, as have many others. Its genuine content since everyones codebases and needs are different.

On strategy do you ever worry that we trend towards the same patterns? This being relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDL3Ch7Nz8c&t=4m7s

Interested in the calorie tracking (have done amateur bodybuilding). Are you mostly cooking your own meals? Wonder if scanning items and tracking more loosely (a more forgiving myfitnesspal) would be helpful for you? Its on the roadmap of things I'm looking to build for myself (just made this last weekend for buying tovala meals: http://brovala.site)

Why oh why is openclaw an improvement for workouts and calorie tracking?

MyFitnessPal takes a lot of clicks to log one meal, I can just use natural language with openclaw.

What is the accuracy of this method vs manual entry?

When I message my claw "Mark that I had 825 calories for lunch today", it has marked down 825 correctly 100% of the time so far.

It shows me way fewer ads than all the popular fitness apps and loads way quicker since it doesn't have to load like 10MB of ads for me to enter one number, so it seems like a good improvement.

I do not think it's an improvement over an excel sheet, but as the average openclaw user, I would rather pay anthropic $10/day in API credits than create a google sheets document.


I do something similar with Claude Code. I say, "I ate a single serving of that Toasted Beef Ravioli that Aldi sells." Claude web searches, finds it, gets its nutrition info, then uses gspread to add it to the daily food log tab of my spreadsheet.

So much less hassle, lower activation energy needed than with MyFitnessPal.


And, no need for OpenClaw either

But you need to know that the meal was 825 calories which these calorie tracker apps calculate for you with all the ingredient amounts.

love this, happens too often


Exactly, really hates it as well. Please post any issues you may have


Implementing maps into our app so giving this a shot. How does pricing compare to google maps api?


It is on par with Google Maps API, but Google gives you more data. Our terms of service are more flexible - for instance we don't require attribution and deleting our data past 30 days. And we are actively working on adding more info to our APIs


My gripe with the AI DJ is that it just talks way too much, emulating the worst djs.

Songza was able to do this properly years ago which customized playlist based on your mood but Spotify just doesnt get it.


thanks for sharing, these look great.


Great work Chase! I remember meeting you back in the shared office with Teespring. You are right, we are not our startups, but there is a lot to be proud of, an impact is always the goal, for profit or non. Onward!


The old Teespring office, those were the days!
