web-based SMS/messenger automation UI for Elixir Hermes

A web interface for the Hermes SMS platform surfaced via rank divergence: Bluesky shows unusually high engagement (rank #2) while GitHub (#59) and our signal (#53) remain muted. Only 3 of 8 tracked sources picked it up.

Why now: Appears in dataset due to Bluesky rank anomaly in a very small sample pool, not organic developer adoption.

• Bluesky rank #2 with score=1 is an extreme outlier against GH #59 and ours #53 (max gap 57)
• GitHub has ~950M raw score which appears to be a GitHub internal ID or anomaly, not star/fork velocity (no actual engagement data shown)
• Only 3/8 sources active: missing HN, X/Twitter, Reddit, Product Hunt, and HuggingFace entirely — no cross-platform buzz
• Dev.to rank #41 with score=0 suggests presence without measurable engagement

Considerations: Bluesky rank #2 with minimal score is likely algorithmic noise from a tiny pool (only 6 Bluesky rows in this pool, versus 100-1000 for other sources). High hype risk: single-microblog-amplified with no GitHub traction, no HN discussion, no X visibility. Could be founder/team self-promotion or bot activity on an under-moderated platform.

EMERGING SIGNAL · Ignore: Skip unless GitHub stars/forks or HN front-page confirmation appears; Bluesky-only signal is unreliable.
