Indiebob runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 46 installs a week from npm.
IndieBob for agents: metrics, posts, cold outreach written per prospect, and what to do next.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Indiebob every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
