Built this after struggling to estimate real marketplace fees while selling across platforms. Would really appreciate feedback from anyone selling on Amazon/Etsy/eBay — especially if I missed fee edge cases.

On what's worth automating: it splits roughly into two camps. The most common are repetitive operational things — monitoring markets, responding to messages, deploying code, updating spreadsheets. But the more interesting use cases are decision-based: the trading agent deciding when to open/close positions, or a support agent deciding whether to escalate.

The Event Hub is what makes the decision-based ones viable. Agents subscribe to real-time events and react based on triggers — you can use structured filters or even natural language conditions ("fire when the user seems frustrated"). So the agent isn't just on a cron loop, it's genuinely reacting to context.

On failure states: agents have built-in timeouts on subscriptions, automatic retries with exponential backoff, and silence detection (they can react to the absence of events, not just their presence). If something breaks, the subscription expires and the agent can re-evaluate. Long- running agents also persist their state across restarts so they pick up where they left off.

There's also a workflow builder where you connect multiple agents together in non-linear graphs — agents run async and pass results between each other. So you can have one agent monitoring, another analyzing, another executing — all coordinating without a linear chain

That makes sense — the shift from task automation to decision automation feels like the real inflection point. The silence detection aspect is especially interesting. Reacting to the absence of signals is something most workflow tools still struggle with, and it’s usually where long-running systems fail in practice. Curious whether users tend to start with predefined agent patterns, or if they’re designing workflows from scratch once they understand the event model? I imagine abstraction becomes important pretty quickly as graphs grow.

Interesting direction — especially the event-driven autonomy part. One thing I’ve noticed while working on founder tooling is that the biggest challenge isn’t building agents anymore, but deciding, what workflows are actually worth automating before people invest time connecting tools and infrastructure. Curious how you’re seeing users define successful agent tasks — are they mostly repetitive operational workflows, or more decision-based use cases? Also wondering how you handle failure states when an agent runs long-term without supervision.

I really want to stop using Google maps but the issue I have with every other option is that I can never just search for the place I want to go to. 99% of the time, the place I am going to is a business, searching "<shop name> <city name>" on anything other than Google maps either gives me nothing (OsmAnd in this category) or might give me some the shops of that chain but in a random order and intermixed with towns a hundred miles away which have the same name. More generic queries like "petrol station" are even worse. The best solution I have come up with is to use Google maps to find the actual address and then copy that into the other app but at that point I might as well just use Google maps.

Anyone have any solutions to this?

I thought, I'm the only person who faces this and feels like this.
