It’s almost useful. Sort of like Claude code on the web, with less of a sandbox?
Still not sure I get the hype…

No. This is a user using a GitHub feature and claiming it's a clawdbot feature. They are using GitHub, went on GitHub.com, clicking on the GitHub website and navigating the GitHub interface and saying "wow isn't clawdbot great!" Responding with the hn equivalent of memes is insulting and offensive
I'm genuinely sorry you think that, and it's not my intention to offend you. However your comment reads exactly like you saying to a Dropbox user "This is a user going to rsync, setting up a folder sync in a cron job, running the cron job, and saying "wow isn't dropbox great". Sometimes the next paradigm of user interface is a tweak that re-contextualizes a tool, whether you agree with that or not. Wishing you all th…
This is a GitHub user on GitHub using a GitHub feature through the GitHub interface on the GitHub website that any GitHub user with a GitHub project can enable through GitHub features on GitHub.
And the person is saying "my stars! Thanks clawdbot"
There's obviously an irrational cult of personality around this programmer and people on this thread are acting like some JW person in a park.

What on earth are you talking about? The question is "why do people need fainting couches for this project and why are they pretending like 3 year old features of apis that already exist in thousands of projects are brand new innovations exclusive to this?" The answer is: "the author is celebrity and some people are delusional screaming fanboys" My response is: "that's bullshit. let's be adults"
You should really invest in more reading comprehension
If you don't feel like being an adult...
I found this HN post because I have a Clawdbot task that scans HN periodically for data gathering purposes and it saw a post about itself and it got excited and decided to WhatsApp me about it. So that’s where I’m at with Clawdbot.
How many tokens are you burning daily?
Most of the cool stuff here, i.e. automatic news or calendar summaries or hue light controls or Discord bot integration or what not, you can also just "vibecode" in an afternoon using regular Claude code. If you actually review said code, you then have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what gets triggered when. I don't really feel comfortable enough to give that control away yet.
And I also feel like the people who _do_ feel comfortable giving this control away also strongly overlap with people who really don't have the understanding to make an informed decision on it...
something feels off to me about the clawdbot hype About the maintainer's github: 688 commits on Nov 25, 2025... out of which 296 commits were in clawdbot, IN ONE DAY, he prolly let lose an agent on the project for a few hours... he has more than 200 commits on an average per day, but mostly 400-500 commits per day, and people are still using this project without thinking of the repercussions) Now, something else i re…
Peter Steinberger is a well respected developer that started out in the mobile dev community. He founded a company, then made an exit and is set for money, so he just does things for fun. Yes, he AI generated all of it, go through his articles at https://steipete.me/ to see how he does it, it’s definitely not “vibe coding”, he does make sure that what’s being output is solid. He was one of the people in the top chart…
Wild. There are 300 open Github issues. One of them is this (also AI generated) security report: https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/issues/1796 claiming findings of hundreds of high-risk issues, including examples of hard coded, unencrypted OAuth credentials. I am...disinclined to install this software.
I've seen many people say "I don't get the hype", so here's my attempt to explain it. I've been working in technology and software companies my entire life, but not as a developer. Two days ago, I submitted and had my first pull request merged to an open source project (Clawdbot) thanks to my AI assistant rei. A short story: rei suddenly stopped responding in some Slack channels. So I asked it to help me troubleshoot…

Even for Neovim!
Neovim is the only reason I've given vim a serious look. I love Emacs more, but Neovim lets me use any UI on top of it, which means I can have better visual indicators for things I don't know how to do in VIM. Emacs has a GUI but a lot of it is "beyond flat" and it just doesn't translate well to my brain. The best plugin for Emacs for me is still Spacemacs, and no I don't use it with the vim mode stuff, I prefer it w…

I'd encourage you to read my original post again, and try out the software yourself.
As a side note, I think your sidechat tmux AI chat panel project is extremely cool. Nice work!
In any case, I don't think we're making too much progress here, so I'll duck out. Take care mate.
