Small open-source project: a Discord bot that keeps a paid role in sync with Stripe, Whop or Zapier/Make subscriptions.
Canceled members keep the role until the end of the period they paid for, and an hourly pass catches any webhook that got missed. Whop and Patreon already sync roles on their own, so the part I find most useful is the generic signed webhook: Stan Store can feed it through Zapier.
Node.js, discord.js, SQLite, 57 tests that run without a Discord token.

Built myself a little command center for my freelance work this week. It’s called Bench.
Contra handles the contracts and payments, but my day-to-day was scattered across Contra chats, Gmail, my calendar, Notion, and a notes app. So I pulled it all into one place:
• A dashboard showing what needs me today: unread messages, overdue tasks, past-due invoices, leads that have gone quiet
• Each project gets its own page with scope, deliveries, tasks, links, and the full message thread from Contra and email
• A pipeline for leads, including a “Ghosted” column, because we’ve all been there
• A time tracker for the hourly stuff
• It syncs with my Contra projects and invoices every morning
Curious how other freelancers here keep track of everything. Spreadsheets? Notion? Pure chaos?
Hey, Mr. @Chris Luniewicz This is honestly impressive! I'm also curious to know what tech stack you used to build 👍
I’ve been working on a small skill called Manual Orchestrator to make longer projects with AI agents easier to manage.
The problem started with a familiar situation: one chat would accumulate plans, implementation details, corrections, and test results. By the time I was ready for the next phase, I wanted a fresh conversation without losing the decisions we’d already made.
Manual Orchestrator gives that process some structure. One chat acts as the orchestrator: it breaks the work into stages and writes a prompt for the next one. I run that prompt in a new session, then bring the result back. The orchestrator reviews it against the stage’s criteria before preparing the next prompt. If something needs fixing, I go back to the same worker session.
The skill also keeps a record in the project with the current stage, decisions, evidence, and next steps. That makes it easier to pause, resume, or hand the work to another session.
The handoff is manual. I choose when to open a session and carry the result back. The orchestrator and worker sessions can also use different agent CLIs, with the prompt adapted to the capabilities available.
It’s open source and still a work in progress. I’m using it to learn what helps in practice and where the workflow needs to improve. Installation has been checked for Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI, but the full workflow hasn’t been tested across every CLI or version.
If you try it, I’d be interested in hearing what works and where it gets in your way.
Shopify Abandoned Cart Recovery Automation 🛒
Ever wondered how many potential orders an online store could miss when customers add products to their cart but leave without completing checkout?
I built an abandoned cart automation workflow using Activepieces, Shopify, Google Gemini, Gmail, and WhatsApp Business.
⚙️ How It Works
🛒 Cart Trigger: Detects an abandoned checkout event from Shopify.
🔀 Conditional Routing: Routes the workflow based on configured conditions.
🤖 AI-Powered Messaging: Gemini generates a personalized reminder message.
💬 WhatsApp Reminder: Sends a cart reminder through WhatsApp Business.
📧 Email Reminder: Sends a follow-up email to encourage the customer to complete checkout.
💡 How It Can Help E-commerce Businesses
Remind customers about products left in their carts.
Reduce repetitive manual follow-up work.
Make customer communication more consistent.
Create an opportunity to recover potentially lost sales.
Tools Used: Activepieces | Shopify | Google Gemini | Gmail | WhatsApp Business
Project Type: Personal Automation Project
I built this workflow to demonstrate how automation can support abandoned cart recovery for Shopify and D2C businesses.
