efexen··on OpenClaw is just cron, Markdown and a chat bot and that's why it matters
I was thinking of the core ingredients that make the new technology and for k8s for me it was the control plane and reconciliation loop and this article is my best attempt at figuring out the same for OpenClaw.

I’d love hear others thoughts on what the key elements that make up a claw are?

Just wanted to update you quickly to let you know I've now added registering & logging in with email/password combo :)
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Good points there and having done that myself as well I can definitely sympathise with you. Working on the email/password auth as we speak ;)

I was just collating some of the feedback from this and right next to Github integration I wrote BB integration :) I use BB a lot as well personally to keep repos private. Thanks for the feedback

Hey, You'll be able to add notes for previous days but not for days prior to when you signed up, sorry I don't think this is particularly clear at the moment and maybe I should remove this restriction from the UI.

Currently it's not possible to edit topics, high up on the todo list though! :D Thanks for your feedback, muchly appreciated!

efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Precisely! ;) Thanks for the link I'll read through it, might have features hiding in the comments :)
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Hey thanks for the feedback, there's quite a bit left to do for mobile and tablet layouts, will make sure to address this.

I've thought about adding screenshots or a short video on the homepage some time, good to hear you agree, might have to bump it up on my todo list ;)

efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Hey thanks for your feedback, you can of course do longer than half an hour, just I think half an hour is a short enough time to squeeze in and it keeps up a good habit :)

Thanks for the details about getting in the zone, might well include some tips on the site later to help people get in the zone quickly to get the most out of their session

Hey, thanks for the feedback it's much appreciated!

Already planning to add the email/password login option as it's been requested quite a few times.

I've thought about app/widget/thing for doing time tracking and pomodoro style but decided against it right at the beginning, I'll keep thinking about it and see what feedback I get from others regarding it.

efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
No I won't, will be adding opt in reminders later. Thanks for the feedback
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Thanks I'll see what I can do, maybe one of those overlays on first visit?
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Sorry no technical reason just haven't got around to it yet, didn't know what the general preference was now, will add it shortly. Thanks for the feedback
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Thanks that's a good point, might add different lengths so for themes that are more of an overview of a topic or a shallow topic it could be a week or two and for more in-depth topics several months

Hey thanks for the feedback! I was wondering actually whether it was intuitive or not, I guess not then ;) Would you have any recommendations on how to make it easier to use?
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Hey, that's a cool idea but probably a little ambitious one for now.

I've got a plan of adding themes as a more social element where bunch of users can sign up to a themed week during which they would all work on improving a particular skill whilst sharing helpful resources and being able to help/ask questions from each other.

Do you think you'd find that helpful?

efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Oh my I think you're right, silly me, I'll put this on top of my todo list! Thanks!!
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Sounds like a good idea, need to figure out how the management of that would work though without being a PITA ;) Thanks for the idea, much appreciated!
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
Thanks for the feedback, glad you said tracking public repositories as that's something I thought might work well as mostly peoples work is in private repos

Thanks for the comment! I've got a plan of integrating with Github, just trying to decide how it should work as I wouldn't want my commits from work showing up which are on the same github account.

Do you think it'd work well if I implemented something to allow picking a commit for a daily entry or would you prefer more automatic tracking?

efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf
Looks nice!
efexen··on Show HN: CodeHalf
Hey, thanks for the comment! I'm hoping it will serve a different purpose in that there's times when I write code that doesn't end up in github, especially little experiments in Codepen, JSFiddle etc. Also tracking notes for what to do during your next session has been invaluable to me. As I add more and more features I think the difference will become clearer.
