codex astroturfing is even bigger on Reddit.


my business account got banned as well 7 days ago. I created an appeal but didn't receive any response. crickets.


I built a lightweight (<1mb) chrome extension (with over 600,000 downloads) that lets you chat with page, draft emails and messages, fix grammar, translate, summarize page, etc.. You can use models from OpenAl, Google, and Anthropic.

Yes, you can use your own API key as well.


Astroturfing here is beyond control


could someone please give a tldr? this was way too long


The answer to the question in the title is "no".


yeah but how to get new customers


You've to go into founder mode - solve problems that exist for customers you've already discovered, rather than build something and expect magical "marketing" to find customers. The latter was previously a weak strategy, and is completely gone with the AI era. No alternative to working very closely with customers.


Honestly, I'm still not quite seeing how this fits into marketing. I get that we're focusing on our current customers, but how do we actually bring in new ones?


No magic pill: you can't work backwards. Pivot away from current idea if it's not getting word of mouth or any other traction, and for the next idea start with finding problems for people in your network that they will pay for.


Go looking for them wherever you think they might gather or hang out (online or in person). Reach out to those who seem like a good fit and ask them about the problem(s) they’re having that your product solves. Once you know if your product would actually solve it well for them, tell them about it in earnest.

If you’re doing that honestly, where they really have that problem and you actually have a good solution, you’d be a jerk not to lightly pitch it at that point.

You could probably do that up to 100 or so customers reasonably easily.


I used the shopify app store to get the first customers - i think an app store is still the way to go since they handle a lot of the customer outreach for you. that said, there are a lot of other ways to niche down - discord communities, subreddits, private boards, etc... come to mind as good places to start



but have they fixed the jumping agent chat panel?


I don't think syntax is correct for pnpm


Works for me?

  $ pnpm add -D typescript@6.0.2
   ERR_PNPM_NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION  No matching version found for typescript@6.0.2 published by Wed Mar 18 2026..
You could also set the config this way:

  pnpm config set minimumReleaseAge 10080 --global
You may be thinking about the project-specific config, which uses YAML.

I recently switched from the CC terminal to the CC VS Code extension, and I like it better.


Same here. Work through UI, navigating, reviewing and editing repo files easily.


It seems like it’s chronically behind though. One example, last I checked /btw only worked via CLI.


I agree it is behind - but usually only a few days.

I'm a big fan of the VS Code add-in. Despite the current narrative that IDEs are dead, I find the ability to look at multiple things at once is works much better in some kind of.. GUI editing tool.. than just using a terminal.


that's why I ultimately ended with CC terminal in VSCode. best of both worlds for me
