Ok, still write MCP servers over HTP/SSE. It's trivial to write a shim to create a direct skill for MoltBot / ClawdBot
DO NOT bother with mcporter

Clawdbot / Moltbot is legit.
Long term memory by default without dependency on a specific AI vendor is great.
And providing a mechanism to inject messages via the gateway without typical MCP request/response flow during a chat is HUGE.

@tomayac.com Android is a bit kneecapped for #webAI in a way that iOS isn't.
Any idea why Android devices are limited to 30fps on getUserMedia() camera access on front cameras?
Native apps on Android can get 60fps.
iOS web can get 60 on front cams. Tested on several phones

So, I've been using AI for not code things now for like a year, so I wanted to see how fast I could make a tool that I needed to use. And i made this: look.imwithstupid.fun and the background is inspired by @myles.dev

Did a full implementation of the Web Gamepad API for node.js and added a CLI tester for it. Over 2100 gamepads mapped using the SDL database.
About two orders of magnitude more than chrome :)

Some of my friends at @heatsynclabs.bsky.social didn't care for having live webcams on the space.
So as a compromise we used some AI to keep the feed going while maintaining privacy.
