I’m the original author, but now it’s maintained by other excellent folks.&lt;p&gt;I still use Huginn almost daily. It’s kind of my exocortex at this point, and the secret sauce for staying abreast of space industry news for Orbital Index (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;orbitalindex.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;orbitalindex.com&lt;/a&gt;).</text></comment>

There&amp;#x27;s a STEEP learning curve but once you get it figured out a couple times, it&amp;#x27;s really powerful and you can do a lot.&lt;p&gt;My problem is that the things I could do.. didn&amp;#x27;t particularly seem useful. Sure, knowing the weather is useful but I can get a pretty good idea on my own or checking the times I need to know more. Knowing about trends up&amp;#x2F;down in my stock is only useful if I&amp;#x27;m going to act. Now that I have solar, I can see some more use cases but most are also around curiosity vs knowing when to take action.&lt;p&gt;I may come to a different conclusion if I build an armored combat suit.&lt;p&gt;Or for a more realistic and fun story, check out Daniel Suarez&amp;#x27;s Daemon. It&amp;#x27;s great.</text></comment>
