On: Show HN: DenchClaw – Local CRM on Top of OpenClaw

[articsputnik]

I just use plain-text files for my CRM in Obsidian [1]. Works great if you are a solo founder only.

Nice, this seems interesting. I don't use Obsidian (I use Logseq) but this has given me a couple of ideas for a CRM I am building (it's currently in a Personal Relationship manager phase which I've found useful for about a year or two).

Thanks for sharing.

Love this setup! I also use Obsidian, but after DenchClaw I usually just open my Obsidian directory into DenchClaw so I can do anything with it. It has all the needed primitives for me like the markdown editor, graphs, etc.

That's a simple but useful set up, thanks for sharing.

On: Obsidian Sync now has a headless client

[articsputnik]

Quoting[1] kepano (CEO of Obsidian) - Why you might use Obsidian Sync headless:

- Automate remote backups

- Automate publishing a website

- Give agentic tools access to a vault without access to your full computer

- Sync a shared team vault to a server that feeds other tools

- Run scheduled automations e.g. aggregate daily notes into weekly summaries, auto-tag, etc

...all while having the speed, privacy, customizability, end-to-end encryption of Obsidian Sync.

Switzerland seems very up to date. Maybe because it's small, or because Google Zurich is developing some of the Google maps features (?)

On: My Desk Setup: From Multi-Monitor to Single Screen with Virtual Desktops

[articsputnik]

to me, it was helpful for night sessions, as I didn't have good light that would be too strong. This one does not shine into screen, so it's good for the eyes. But certainly not a must or anything you need.

[kenanfyi → articsputnik]

Isn't it better to have light on the back of the screen? Like illuminating the wall slightly?

[articsputnik → kenanfyi]

maybe, but then I don't see my keys or stuff on the table. It dims automatically and has different color temperatures. It's practical, I don't have space behind my desk, and it's not that expensive. I didn't thought too much about it actually, when I bought it :)

Love it too. He said he misses Raycast. For anyone curious, it's built in with Walker. More info at https://www.ssp.sh/blog/linux-omarchy-the-good-bad-and-fixab...

On: A Social Filesystem

[articsputnik]

Amazing write-up. Owing to your data, a standardized protocol (such as the AT Protocol) is so great! It's like markdown, everything is basically built on files (but cleverly architected so that it works decentralized across the web too!).

I wrote a little along the same lines on «Well Being in Times of Algorithms» at https://www.ssp.sh/blog/well-being-algorithms/ (or HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46352747).

On: A Social Filesystem

[articsputnik]

not sure if you understood the article, isn't the whole point to own your data as "it's just a filesystem". Reddit, Instagram, etc. are the total opposite.

[theturtletalks → articsputnik]

Yes, I should have been clearer. Reddit and Instagram do not operate this way today, but open social alternatives to them could. The idea is that people create personal websites where posting, commenting, and other social actions live, and that becomes the filesystem they own.

Open social networks would simply index or pull from those sites using agreed-upon lexicons and protocols. Existing platforms could either adopt the open social model, or, more realistically in the short term, be treated as syndication targets where posts are pushed via their APIs when someone publishes on their own site.

[danabramov → theturtletalks]

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say with the article. And this is not theoretical, all of these apps work this way: https://bsky.app/, https://leaflet.pub/, https://tangled.org/, https://semble.so/, https://blento.app/ (new one). It's definitely possible!

[theturtletalks → danabramov]

Yes I'm loving the growth in this space. I'd also throw Standard.site[0] into the mix, it seems to be the lexicons Leaflet and some other apps are using.

On: I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great

[articsputnik]

I moved from 15 years of macOS to Linux (Omarchy in my case). I was mostly using the terminal and am therefore super happy with my choice now. I wrote more at https://www.ssp.sh/blog/macbook-to-arch-linux-omarchy/, in case of interest.
