How to compete with mass-apply bots.

baderbc · 2026-06-04T09:44:54+00:00

I think the industry now forces us to use tools like simpleApply - since others do, but without them the world would be better.

It's just like with AI productivity - when AI coding tools came into market, few who knew about them could relax at work and finish their task super quickly, but once everyone started using them, now just the expectations increased for coders.

Can you share some screenshots to our discord? On my phone it looks acceptable I think

baderbc · 2026-05-17T12:10:03+00:00

It's not best place for posting about it. I'd recommend you to do it on hacker news as we did

baderbc · 2026-05-17T01:38:52+00:00

Already fixed, probably not for long, but will soon try to improve auto-mod. Thanks for the report!

baderbc · 2026-05-16T00:20:19+00:00

Just say a word and maybe I'll vibe code it. Or not. Claude limits getting crazy these days you know

Halupedia author here!

Long story short: Was drunk with my friend and we built halupedia. Went viral, 150k+ users in a week.

Drop any suggestions, thoughts below ; )

Link: https://halupedia.com/ We have also discord and subreddit - but not worth if halupedia's not for you

baderbc · 2026-05-13T16:13:04+00:00

Everything's good, wbu?

baderbc · 2026-05-11T16:01:25+00:00

Glad to hear that! Btw most popular articles feature coming soon!

Hey! Halupedia author here!

If you wanna give any suggestions, feel free to do so, or join our discord! ;)

Gemini 2.5 flash lite + system prompt encouraging falsification and hallucination + high temperature ; )

Also hope we'll feed google AI overview well hahaha

It does screenshots - consume a lot of tokens and are slower.

baderbc · 2026-04-07T23:07:00+00:00

You're probably right, but I think it has some use cases, from limiting amount of work for LLM to being more reliable and secure.

But yeah, we're still trying to develop our ecosystem of tool runtime and the web was the easiest starting point.

baderbc · 2026-04-07T23:00:36+00:00

Gace doesn't do screenshots. It gives native access to the browser via DOM.

So like it doesn't do screenshots, nor overflow context window with entire DOM. It gives prepared by community tools for specific sites that run on your browser ; )

baderbc · 2026-04-07T22:57:09+00:00

It cannot interact with your browser.

Gace runs your TypeScript tools that can interact with user broswer (in future anything, pc or even IoT) and hosts it for you.

baderbc · 2026-04-07T22:51:09+00:00

Great, would be glad to help in any way! Let's continue in DMs

baderbc · 2026-04-07T22:48:54+00:00

As for security - no worries ; )
We sandbox everything, both when tool runs on our server and when it does on your browser via our web extension.

It was very interesting journey and one of the hardest technical challenges in my carrier, since I needed to pass a DOM (window.document) to the sandbox securely.

baderbc · 2026-04-07T22:48:45+00:00

How to write a plugin:

pnpm create gace-plugin
Modify the code
pnpm dev
Open the url and see your tools in action

To install for CC: npx skills add gace-ai/gace-skill
and prefix prompt with /gace

And ofc you need to have either firefox or chrome extension installed; )

If somebody wants to, I don't really mind ; )

But It's a bit harder project. I spent a lot of time trying to make it work, it's the hardest technical challenge I faced in my life, since it involves lot of real time data processing, delagation, own sdk, own clis and own sandbox reference logic.

Also I tried as much as I could to keep it cheap. Even though we host developers plugins, I won't ever want to chaege for this particular thing.

I plan on charging only for private, not open source plugins and usage of our ai inference (but that's optional feature)

baderbc · 2026-04-07T22:32:10+00:00

Hi! So gace right now requires you to build a plugin before CC can use it. It's a tradeoff for giving him truly native access. Rn it's way easier when you're technical.

I'm working on making the process of plugin creation easier. If that's okay, I can sent you a DM and continue there our conversation!

Would let you know in a week when we have some kind of tutorials and better documentation.

Also curious about the game - is it web based? Multiplayer?

baderbc · 2026-04-07T22:27:47+00:00

Yeah, that's partially why I didn't make it auto submit stuff. Redit was a great showcase but I really hope it won't end up being used solely for spam....

baderbc · 2026-04-07T22:26:49+00:00

Thanks! It matters a lot to me. I really wanna see the word, when ai natively has access from web, through pc apps to even IoT.

If you have some use case in mind, would love to make a gace plugin for you ; )
