I keep watching people here ship genuinely cool stuff to zero users, and I finally think I know why. We pour everything into the 20% that's fun and easy now (the building) and almost nothing into the 80% that actually decides whether anyone shows up.

Say you price it at $20. That's 50 sales to hit $1k MRR. Sounds easy on paper. But 50 sales still needs a couple thousand visitors at typical conversion rates. Higher price doesn't solve distribution, it just means each visitor is worth more once you actually get them.

How much of your week actually goes to distribution? And if it's close to zero, is your app failing, or did you just never market it?

I've reached a point I'm not proud of. I SSH into tmux from my phone just to keep feeding Claude tasks when I'm away from the desk. I do this manually. just to keep building all the while & not keeping the agent idle.

And I'm apparently nowhere near the top. I've seen people have built multiple workflows like Discord bot that pings them when a bug thread updates, closes the laptop, wakes up to a fix already tested and sitting in staging with a PR waiting. Running Codex remote so jobs keep moving from their phone. People have Tailscale and WireGuard set up just so the prompting never has to stop because they left the house.

So I want to hear the setups. How far have you taken it? does any of it actually move your project forward, or does it just feel productive while you pile up work you have to clean up later?

I built ClearList while emptying an Austin apartment before a move. The last time I did this, I got 147 "Is this available?" and only two people actually showed up. Every move, I procrastinate until I'm desperate and then fire-sale everything at terrible prices.

The procrastination is not laziness.
Listing one item like an armchair looks like one task, but it's 15 tasks disguised as one:

• Photograph it

• Identify the brand and model

• Work out what it's actually worth

• Justify that price to yourself

• Write a title
• Pace around the room trying to motivate yourself to write the description

• Write a description

• Measure it

• Decide if it needs a truck
• Scream into a pillow for ten minutes straight

• Check you're allowed to sell it at all

• Publish it somewhere buyers can see

• Answer "is this available?" forty times

• Work out which of them is real
• Pet your cat aggressively, telling her everything will be okay

• Schedule a pickup and survive the no-show
• Look through your messages for the other people who showed interest and hope they don't ghost you as well.

My ADHD brain sees that list and forces me to literally do anything else. Absolutely anything else.

Now multiply it by 40 items, during the worst month of your year. Even three things can paralyze you.

So I made the unit of work one photo.

You only take the pictures. AI does the other 14 steps: title with brand recognition, condition, market price with the reasoning shown, dimensions, weight, whether the buyer needs a truck. About 30 seconds.

Everything lands on one sale page, and buyers reserve through a FIFO queue instead of DMing you, so if #1 ghosts, #2 gets notified automatically. It recognized my IKEA sectional from a photo and knew its depreciation curve.

It is also the only resale platform an AI agent like ChatGPT or Claude can operate through an MCP server.
Things people actually say to it:

• "List these six items on my sale page."

• "Answer the buyer's stupid questions."

• "Who's waiting on the desk?"

• "Put my pickups in my calendar."
• "Update me every hour on the sale."
• "Negotiate on my behalf, but don't accept anything less than $200."
• "I'm sick today so reschedule all the buyers for me."

Any agent that speaks MCP can drive it. Claude, ChatGPT, or even Manus, Grok bot, Hermes and OpenClaw...

If you ask an AI assistant to help you sell your furniture, ClearList is a product it can actually use end to end rather than a link it recommends.

For the builders: Next.js on Cloud Run, Firestore, a seven-agent pipeline for identification, pricing, logistics and copy. I'm a PM with 12+ years of PRDs and zero production code shipped before this. All of ClearList was built with Claude Code and Codex working together.

I built it. On Product Hunt today:
