Tear apart my automation platform & tell me what scripts you actually need

Hey dev.to! πŸ‘‹ I built Scripty (it's live, it's free, and I'm probably doing it wrong). It's a platform where natural language commands run community-created automation scripts. Before I add more features, I need your brutal honesty.

What it does now:

Just ask naturally ("find the best GPU deals", "draft replies for my emails"), and it runs the right script. Think of it as a command center where plain English becomes automation.

What I desperately need to know:

  1. What tasks do you waste time on that should be automated?
  2. Which scripts would make your life easier?
  3. What obvious flaws am I missing in this approach?
  4. How is this inevitably going to break/fail?

The site's up at scripty.me, but I'm not here to promote it - I'm here because I need developers to tell me what's wrong with it and what scripts would actually be useful to you. No sales pitch (it's free anyway), just looking for:

  • Your automation pain points
  • Where my implementation is fundamentally flawed
  • What would make you actually want to use this

Seriously, don't hold back. Let me have it 🎯
