While playing around with OpenClaw I realized that after a few days of adding skills, plugins, crons, etc. things were all over the places. Memory files spread everywhere in the workspace, plugin configs stored here and there, skills not always visible to crons, ...

I started working on a CLI to keep OpenClaw organized: https://clawtique.ai

The analogy is that of a boutique. OpenClaw goes to the boutique and is "dressed up" properly so that all the various components are organized and easy to maintain. Clawtique is organized around the concept of a "dress", basically a bundle of everything OpenClaw needs to achieve a goal (skills, plugins, memory segments, crons, ...). The CLI enables users to easily dress and undress OpenClaw so that you can try out a dress and easily remove it without leaving any dangling dependencies.

Some dresses i created are the sleeping-coach (bundles the OuraClaw plugin https://github.com/rickybloomfield/OuraClaw with skills and crons that notify you on how you slept) and the fabric-sync (bundles the fabric plugin https://github.com/onfabric/openclaw-fabric with skills and crons to maintain an accurate USER.md of you based on your interactions on the various big tech platforms).

The follow up is to have OpenClaw use the Clawtique CLI itself so that it can easily dress and undress with whatever it needs to accomplish the goal without everything becoming an unmanageable mess.

Here is the repo: https://github.com/onfabric/clawtique

Curious to know what you guys think

I'm building Tela ( https://github.com/paulmooreparks/tela ), a self-hosted relay that tunnels TCP services through encrypted WireGuard connections. The key difference from Tailscale and similar tools is that it requires no TUN adapter, no root access, and no admin privileges on either end. It runs entirely in userspace. My initial motivation was wanting to RDP and SSH into my home workstation from a locked-down corp…

This is super cool.

My mother is living alone in her house and we are getting to the point where she might not be able to live alone. I built "Still Kicking", a picture frame that monitors her motion and sends back basic reports and can detect falls and sleep quality to a phone app, to help give her more time at home. It's just an mmWave sensor connected to an ESP32. But it works nicely, and I'm thinking of starting a company making the…

Start this company! You see the responses from just a small sample, this is your sign to go in on it! Good luck!

Building Warp (https://warp.thegeeksquad.io), a storage engine where each entity is its own actor with its own SQLite shard.

I've been doing DDD and event sourcing for years but always had to squeeze aggregates and domain events into Postgres tables. I kept looking at what scaling would mean with CockroachDB or ScyllaDB and it scared me. So I asked what happens if you just make SQLite the storage and let the BEAM handle concurrency, one actor per entity.

Turns out it works pretty well. 1.5M events/sec on an M1 in Docker with 5 cores. ScyllaDB on the same hardware does 49K. Written in Gleam, but there's a TypeScript SDK if you just want to use it from Node.
