I've written my own version of OpenClaw, but it's cloud-first so no setup or install. An early release, but I think its pretty neat and I'd appreciate any feedback: https://gipity.ai

Super cool. This seems like it could be really good data to build some better visualizations.
Just playing with it now, but some quick feedback:
- Disable the lock screen while watching the visualization. I have to keep tapping it while music is playing.
- Is it possible to select the input source as the "speaker out" (or whatever ios calls it) rather than the microphone so only the music playing is analyzed rather than the microphone. My clicky keyboard is messing up the music visualization.
> Mint had their number, but they sold it for $170 million. A big payday for sure, and if that was their two-year goal then they nailed it, but I can’t believe that was the point behind Mint. It had too much potential.
Ummm... He can't believe the point was to make a bunch of money?!?!
Check out Diomede Storage - it's a cloud storage service that allows you to specify the type of storage (Online, Nearline, Offline) for exactly this purpose. www.diomedestorage.com
This is a good issue to raise and is an important reminder why you should choose a cloud storage vendor that provides easy mechanisms to physically export your data in bulk, avoiding any network limitations. Diomede's bulk import and export functionality enables just this.
Diomede Storage is going to keep your business because we have the best service and the best solution for you - we're not going to "hold your data hostage" for technical reasons or otherwise. If you ever need to get all your data out for whatever reason, it's yours and we can ship it to you in bulk very quickly. Regardless of how much you love Diomede, we understand that things come up - acquisitions, partnerships, legal regulations, etc - that you'll need to be able to handle.
As a side technical note: the author is saying this is due to network "latency". While the latency to access "hosted clouds" (like Diomede) is higher than private clouds or services on your LAN, network latency is not specifically the reason it's difficult to transmit large amounts of data to or from clouds - it's typically due to the max throughput of the client (i.e. the size of their pipe to the Internet). It is possible to achieve high data transfer rates over high latency connections and a number of companies (one example) have developed protocols to tackle this problem. But regardless of the technical reason, it's a good issue to bring up.
