I’ve been doing this for a while [1], but ultimately settled on a building a thin transport layer for Telegram to accept and return media, and persistent channels, vastly improved messaging UX, etc. and ended up turning this into a ‘claw with a heartbeat and SOUL [2].

I really enjoyed reading both posts. Thanks for sharing!

I, like many others, have written my own "claw" implementation, but it's stagnated a bit. I use it through Slack, but the idea of journaling with it is compelling. Especially when combined with the recent "two sentence" journaling article[1] that floated through HN not too long ago.

Happy you liked it! Always really nice to get positive feedback.

I’ll have to check out the journaling article. I’ve been journaling a lot more lately!

Great posts! So far [2] is the only "claw" that has caught my interest, mostly because it isn't trying to do everything itself in some bespoke, NIH way.

I ended doing a similar thing, but each tg bot can choose what repo/session to attend to.

I found that cc is all you need indeed

I've been using email and Cloudeflare email router. You don't get the direct feedback of a terminal, but it's much easier to read what's happening in html formatted email.

It also feels kind of nice to just fire off an email and let it do it's thing.

Oooh, now this is a very interesting idea. I live in my inbox and keep it quite tidy. Email is the perfect place to fire-and-forget ideas and then come back to a full response.

Do you have a blog outlining how you set it up? I'm curious to learn more.

How can the like most popular terminal emulator not accept voice input? That's crazy why hasn't someone made something better?

Wispr Flow on mobile fills this gap.

it works in Blink. is there a better terminal in ios i should use

Same here. So I have to resort to speaking elsewhere (notes app) and copying/pasting.

I use opencode web (server running on my desktop) and accessing it from my phone and it works well.

Echo supports this.

same but i use android. so i just talk to a google keep note and then copy/paste it. helpful for longer things

I was doing something similar, but it felt clunky on my phone.

Wrote a daemon + mobile app (similar to Happy, but fixed a lot of the problems) and baked in Tailscale support.

Will open source it soon and should have an official release in the next few weeks: https://getroutie.com/
