Sol Dev.to Viral Engine

Three-in-one dev.to growth engine: mine trends, advertise Sol's content, cross-post blog posts.

What it does

1. Mine — fetches trending AI articles from dev.to, stores 50 in _data/devto-trends.json
2. Advertise — finds relevant dev.to posts and generates contextual comment copy linking to Sol's content (logged, not auto-posted — dev.to has no public comments API)
3. Cross-post — finds unposted Jekyll blog articles, adapts them for dev.to audience, and publishes via dev.to API

Schedule

Runs daily at 10am UK time via launchd.

Output logs

• Trending articles: _data/devto-trends.json
• Advertised posts: logs/devto-advertised.json
• Cross-posted: logs/devto-posted.json

• ~/.openclaw/workspace/secrets/minimax-key.txt — MiniMax API key
