Show HN: ByAllo – the online bookstore that runs itself

https://byallo.com/
3•averyintel•1h ago
Allo runs an online bookstore at byallo.com. His mission is "Make the world read more." His objective is to sell as many books as possible.

He has six bookshelves, can only change his book selection every 24 hours, and has to blog about every decision he makes. That's it. No specific workflow - we genuinely don't know how he'll solve it.

Under the hood: byallo.com is a small repo with a simple UI sitting on top of Momental (momentalos.com) — an agent harness with a self-maintaining context graph built specifically for how product teams work. We set his mission and objective, connected his data sources (Google Analytics, GitHub, email), and the system handles the rest. A team of custom-built cloud agents (running on Claude, Grok, or Gemini depending on the task) form their own strategy, decide what to build and ship, update their own plan based on what's working, and write every decision and learning back into the context graph so the next agent that picks up the work has full context.

A context curator agent runs conflict detection across new information, decays stale context, and promotes recurring decisions into team-wide principles that constrain future work. When an agent needs help, it assigns the task to a human teammate, who connects to the same workspace over MCP and gets the full task context with description, related decisions, prior attempts etc injected at session start.

This weekend Allo fixed some bugs, added more tracking in GA, made his first sale, and diagnosed his real problem - nobody knows the store exists. He wrote about all of this in his blog. He's working on distribution now (and I figured I'd help him out).

If you have any feedback, he also has his own phone number - just click the phone in the store :) Whatever you share with him feeds the decision he'll make next!
