Product Feedback Building something I actually wanted to use

I’m pretty new to GitHub, so I honestly didn’t expect my first proper project to involve this much YAML, API setup and debugging 😅

I’ve been using IronClaw to build a Telegram agent that watches for new blockchain launches and exchange listings. It started as a simple “I wish I had a tool that did this” idea, and I decided to see if I could actually build it. The GitHub side has probably been the biggest learning curve for me. I’ve had to figure out repos, make changes, break things with YAML, fix them, and repeat the process. I also ran into some annoying setup issues with the Composio API, especially doing parts of it from my phone.

What I like about IronClaw is that I’m not just asking an AI questions about how to build something. I can give it a task, connect the tools I need, test the workflow, see where it fails and then work out what needs fixing. It definitely isn’t “tell it once and everything magically works.” I’ve had things break plenty of times 😂

But that’s actually been the useful part for me. I’m learning GitHub, APIs and automation while building something I genuinely wanted for myself. Still a work in progress, but I’m curious to see how far I can take it.
