Post Description

Im excited to share an early Beta of Glasshouse.

Its a News application which aim to give users an actual personalised and informative feed with no tracking whatsoever.

Currently in Beta version, there is Main news and Spotlight. While Main news may or may not be interesting, I aim to make it better for Tech Founders, Students, Designers and any other creative people that need information without being buried into negative news.

Some Core and differentiating features are still in development but till then, I need feedback on how it looks to use it.

Im open to feedback and criticism on [email protected]

OpenClaw – Open-source personal AI agent that lives on your machine

The CLI onboarding that provisions a gateway, workspace, channels, and skills is a real UX win — you can run `openclaw onboard` and wire up WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Signal and even speech/canvas endpoints. The project's biggest strength is breadth: live Canvas, multi-channel integrations, and Nix/Docker install paths make it feel like a usable, local-first assistant; the downside is it still leans on proprietary model subscriptions for top-tier responses.
