i disagree with your dropbox example. dropbox is apprently easier to use than a selfhost ftp site and well maintained by a company. but this clawedbot is just a one-man dev developed project. there are many similar "click to fix" services.
Not exactly, clawdbot is an open source project with hundreds of contributors (including me!) in only 3 weeks of its existence. Your characterization of just a one-man dev developed project is inaccurate.
I'm genuinely sorry you think that, and it's not my intention to offend you.
However your comment reads exactly like you saying to a Dropbox user "This is a user going to rsync, setting up a folder sync in a cron job, running the cron job, and saying "wow isn't dropbox great".
Sometimes the next paradigm of user interface is a tweak that re-contextualizes a tool, whether you agree with that or not.
This is a GitHub user on GitHub using a GitHub feature through the GitHub interface on the GitHub website that any GitHub user with a GitHub project can enable through GitHub features on GitHub.
And the person is saying "my stars! Thanks clawdbot"
There's obviously an irrational cult of personality around this programmer and people on this thread are acting like some JW person in a park.
First those are completely different sentiments. One is a feature built into the product in question the other is a hodgepodge of shit.
Second, and most importantly, Dropbox may as well not exist anymore. It’s a dead end product without direction. Because, and this is true, it was barely better than the hodgepodge of shit AND they ruined that. Literally everything can do what Dropbox does and do it better now.

For every Dropbox, there are a thousand failed products. Survivorship bias is not a good argument.
No. This is a user using a GitHub feature and claiming it's a clawdbot feature.
They are using GitHub, went on GitHub.com, clicking on the GitHub website and navigating the GitHub interface and saying "wow isn't clawdbot great!"
Responding with the hn equivalent of memes is insulting and offensive

Wishing you all the best.

How adorable, what a self-own.

But keep posting that; it’s your one hit wonder.
