other than wasting your time

Don't waste time on the free stuff. Get a claude code subscription and build amazing stuff. Rantii works great (if devRant does) and it's vibe coded for the ground up for example. It would've taken ages to built it myself in that quality. It's all about collecting data to provide to prompts. For rantii, it was my full documented devranta api client and based on that it could build the whole app. Fact is ofcourse, including the documenting of the client, it still took many hours. But hey, fine working app.

But damn, dR should get it's shit together.

Selling things to people.

Generating porn.

From my previous workplace I can say that one application of them is to be prediction models that deliver insights which can help us to identify optimalizations.
