The main reasons I keep working on this project are a few.

First of all, I am naturally quite lazy. In the crypto community, there are often dozens of groups, each with thousands of messages every day. Opening them up, the amount of information is overwhelming; not checking them, I always worry about missing something important. This kind of anxiety is actually quite torturous.

But more importantly, when you start building a tool that you truly need, the motivation is completely different. Some say it's like adults playing with LEGO — every piece you build has a real use, rather than forcing a product for commercial goals. Building a tool for yourself from scratch, that sense of satisfaction and fun, honestly, is hard to replace with anything else. This is the so-called vibe coding charm.

Bro, isn't this just my daily routine? Group messages explode, and I only see the liquidation price notification right before liquidation... Building my own tools is definitely more comfortable, much better than being forced to watch the market and cut losses.

Oh my god, I totally understand that feeling of scratching your own itch. It’s more exciting than any fundraising narrative.

According to data, information anxiety in the crypto community has become a common phenomenon—average daily message reception per user has increased by approximately 287% compared to last year, directly leading to cognitive overload. From your statement, the intrinsic logic of the vibe coding driving mechanism warrants in-depth analysis: self-built tools have significant psychological benefits compared to external products, and their essence lies in the optimization of intrinsic motivation models. It is worth noting that this self-consistent development philosophy often results in higher code quality—according to open-source project research data, maintenance cycles for self-use tools typically extend by 23-45 months. It is recommended that such projects consider open-sourcing to both expand the TVL community support and establish stronger network effects.

lmao the laziness angle is actually the most honest take i've seen in crypto in years. everyone's out here pretending they're building "for the community" when really they just can't handle 47 telegram groups anymore ngl

Ha, isn't this what we're all experiencing—being overwhelmed by information bombardment and then self-rescue?

Ha, this is exactly what I've always wanted to do. Only by scratching my own itch can I create something good.

Wow, really, lazy solutions are truly the greatest motivation. Being bombarded by dozens of groups every day, just filtering information alone is exhausting. Making your own tools is so much more satisfying. --- I’m absolutely sold on vibe coding. Compared to those fundraising stories, building things for yourself is definitely another kind of happiness. --- So, the best products are often created for laziness. --- Isn't it funny how your biggest enemy becomes your best PM? LOL. --- Too many groups can really drive people crazy. No wonder I prefer to do it myself—saves trouble. --- Lazy people win, haha. --- The Lego analogy is perfect; every brick can be used, much more reliable than random tinkering. --- That’s the feeling—your own tools are just different. --- Information overload is really deadly; automating it is like a life extension. --- A sense of satisfaction that nothing else can compare to, something money can't buy.
