Followed. I'm begining to learn Goose, but I haven't made a working client yet.
What are some of the resources you've found most helpful with Goose?
Over the last few days I #vibecoded an app I wanted to have for some time and I couldn’t find one. A privacy-focused Android app that rewrites social media links into self-hosted alternatives.
goose and I are proud to announce Linkahest - the Alkahest (the universal solvent of alchemy) for links to certain platforms. To dissolve the nonsense, basically.
Shared links to X, YouTube and Reddit either annoy us with dark patterns, EU cookie nonsense, force us to login before seeing the content or restrict posted contents from being easily copied - all that while spying on our every interaction while using their platforms.
Share links from these platforms via the Android share sheet to Linkahest and you're ready to go to share it to nostr or wherever you hang around where people care about privacy. Share, post and read content without ads, tracking or forced logins - like it’s supposed to be. Comes with support for custom instances.
Hope this is useful for someone. Appreciate any feedback, feature requests or even contributions. No need to register at Codeberg, just drop it here. I’ll probably mirror to Github at some point.

Discussion
My lessons so far:
The initial prompt is among the most important. Make it extensive. I refined mine talking to a local Qwen3:14b model.
Initial prompt: https://gist.github.com/hermeticvm/fe6f14e46c6f012140ede3e2cb1083eb
Refined prompt: https://gist.github.com/hermeticvm/2cc19a6e6caa0437db3f8c162798e620
Tell Goose what it is allowed to do and be explicit about it. Make use of .goosehints and just write it down there to save on tokens/API calls.
Thank you.
