What tool makes these readme’s for new github repos that are bulletpointed lists with features, always prefixed by an emoji?
maximevalette•6h ago
Basically any LLM

AI, I presume (but I’m not sure) that the code “agent” they are using creates it.
bravesoul2•4h ago
Tool is an insult when applied to a human...
diggan•2h ago
Not specifically about readmes/GitHub repos, but I've noticed some LLMs like Sonnet and GPT4.1 are really enthusiastic about doing emoji-prefixed lists for some reason.

Trained on too many JS libraries.

If I read it right, it's built on Gmail API

Are there any other provider agnostic tools with similar capabilities?

szszrk•5h ago
I guess JMAP was created to also deal with this. I'm not sure how far are we in implementation on clients side.

This just polls every x (default 30) seconds; if you use IMAP you can do better with IDLE (e.g. I pipe `fetchmail --check` to something that triggers a sync to immediately get new mails)
_flux•4h ago
I wonder though if also the Gmail interface supports something like this? It seems it's pretty fast at receiving email.
kosolam•4h ago
There is this generic tool: https://github.com/pimalaya/himalaya

There are pub/sub notifications but it's a bit of a pain to get working. You need an HTTP endpoint the server can reach for push notifications, I think, not long polling.

Is there any good library or tool that let's me programmatically/easily or semi-automatically delete mail by query in gmail? The built in tools are not good enough. Does Thunderbird work with gmail nowadays?

Just have SES put the email in s3, then do stuff.
nisegami•37m ago
One step closer to fully closing the loop on using LLMs to automate white collar work.
