ZeroClaw

What it does

ZeroClaw is a private AI assistant that runs 100% locally on your machine. Connect to Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp. Your data never leaves your computer. No cloud, no subscriptions, complete privacy.

A lightweight, secure personal AI agent: one Rust binary on your machine, your keys or your local models. 30+ channels, supervised by default, open source.

One lightweight Rust binary on your machine, with your keys or your local models. It reaches 30+ channels, asks before risky actions, and can stamp every tool call with a cryptographic receipt. No cloud seat. No subscription. Most AI assistants are a seat you rent on someone else's machine. ZeroClaw is a binary you own on yours. It uses less memory than a browser tab and runs on hardware as small as a Raspberry Pi — the same agent on your workstation, your homelab, and boards it can actually touch (GPIO on Pi, STM32, Arduino, ESP32). Install the binary, point it at a provider, connect a channel. The one-liner grabs a prebuilt binary — a measured 14 seconds — and compiling from source is…from zeroclaw.com

  NanoClaw – “Clawdbot” in 500 lines of TS with Apple container isolationFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲533

  I’ve been running Clawdbot for the last couple weeks and have genuinely found it useful but running it scares the crap out of me. OpenClaw has 52+ modules and runs agents with near-unlimited permissions in a single Node process. NanoClaw is ~500 lines of core code, agents run in actual Apple containers with filesystem isolation. Each chat gets its own sandboxed context. This is not a swiss army knife. It’s built to match my exact needs. Fork it and make it yours.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
