Looking at that star graph: Since OpenClaw became a thing, I can't help but conclude that Github interest/popularity metrics have become useless signals.

That can happen!

#133> It has a CRM focus because we asked a couple dozen hard-core OpenClaw users "what do you actually do", and it was sales automation, lead enrichment, biz dev, creating slides, linkedin outreach, email/notion/calendar stuff, and it's always painful to set up. So basic automation and forcing the web to be "open"... No one is talking about how AI is going to destroy business models that are dependent on dark patterns,…
Yea, it has been a little shocking to me that the rising narratives around "AI agents everywhere" and "enable the web for AI agents" requires what we've all been wanting for awhile on the web (openness and interoperability) but that the same big players in tech have been clearly against for a long time. Like the fact that Google recently released that Google Workspace CLI ( https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli ) is…

#134Interesting approach using DuckDB for the underlying CRM storage. I’m curious how well the file-system based structure scales once the dataset grows significantly.
CRM datasets don't really get that big. So DuckDB sounds like a great choice.

#135Everything is skills. In a file system. That is the future. Responding to some HN comments, I understand the focus on Sales Automation and Outreach can be worrysome. But for me personally, this is where I do all knowledge work. For me it acts like Cursor, Happenstance, News Aggregator, Fun games creator like Pacman (it has an App Store), I can import Notion into editable MD files, create reports and presentations, et…
That's exactly the direction I took with Filestash ( https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash ) where everything is treated as a filesystem with fine-grained control to handle authorisation, plus a virtual filesystem layer to create completely new filesystems that don't 1 to 1 map to reality.
I've been meaning to use this in some project, you added a lot since last time I saw your repo!

#137Are people using bottomless VC money to fund the API calls for these *Claw things? I first tried OpenClaw with a local model, it gave poor performance. Then I tried it with Claude - great but it blew through hundreds of dollars in tokens in about an hour. Or is everybody a billionaire now?
Lots of folks use the Claude Max 20x $200/mo. tier, I think. Gets you waaay farther than $200 of API credits.
The Claude subscription is only for Claude Code. Anthropic does not want people using the subscriptions with other clients.

#138The local-first angle is interesting, especially for CRM data. Seeing this trend in observability and data engineering use cases as well.

No they are not. Claude Max does not give you access to APIs
