Hey Stackghost —
Saw your HN comment about freelance time tracking / invoicing. TimeChat is a Telegram bot: type "1.5 acme bug fix" after work, end of month it auto-generates the PDF invoice for your client. Side-by-side vs Toggl: mindie.dev/vs/toggl.
For HN readers I'm running EARLY10: $1/mo (was $7). One-click checkout: timechat pro 2-mo trial
If it's useful, I'd love your feedback. Free tier covers solo testing if you want to start there: https://timechat.mindie.dev
Not relevant? Reply STOP and I'll never email again.

I went back through my comment history and I don't believe that I have ever mentioned freelancing, time tracking, or invoicing in a comment except once when I mentioned an invoice peripherally a year ago.
Thus, mindie.dev is scraping emails from profiles and hallucinating relevant reasons to try to grease their sales funnel.
Attempting to unsubscribe via their "reply stop and I'll never email again" resulted in a bounced email.
I find this behavior to be ultra scummy and dishonest. I enjoy the communal feel from people having open emails on their profiles but it seems the taboo has been broken. I will be removing my email from my profile and suggest you do the same.

I suspect that this is pure phishing, not an attempt to sell a product.
