]]> I’m a builder. I’ll build and build and build and never ship. How do you get a builder to ship? Make shipping 👉 building.

Yes yes, I know, I partook in yet another side quest to getting nag.bot shipped (🙄 slacker). But this side quest helps me do the thing I like least, marketing. I don’t have a big following, so simple tweeting into the void isn’t very effective. I have to go get users. I figured out a pretty good workflow for outreach, but it was super tedious. Lots of manual searching through X to find prospects for engagement. But, I figured out a way to speed it up a lot using AI. The following bookmarklet app was the result.

It’s quick and dirty, but I’m getting some results! I’m finding and engaging with more users I might be able to help, faster. I’m sure this app will see some refinement as I use it. But, here it is…. I call it Coldpost, named after cold calling. I hope you like it!
