The Problem
Freelance opportunities surface on Reddit constantly, but by the time you see a thread manually, twenty people have already replied. Speed is the whole game.
What I Built
A monitor that watches a custom multireddit, and the moment a matching gig appears, drafts a tailored outreach opener with a local Ollama model and pushes it to Telegram. Secrets via environment variables, iterative token refresh, scoped model cleanup, persistent seen-state, and HTTP 429 handling.
The Outcome
Live and delivering openers to Telegram in real time. Diagnosed an ISP DNS-level block on Reddit and resolved it with Cloudflare WARP plus a split-tunnel workaround.
