Sadly, I haven’t gotten any response on both channel thus far, so I worry that the ship has sailed. Compiling my achievements for the appliance made a really feel a bit pleased with what I’m providing. Perhaps I’ll really feel a bit higher by placing this letter on the market.
Right here’s an infographic I made simply now, from the e-mail under.
Hello OpenClaw Crew,

2) Hyperlinks to open supply initiatives I keep
Listed here are my “most well-known” initiatives, from a time earlier than Swift:
I really like Swift, so I began these a number of initiatives which have seen some preliminary curiosity and PRs.
I’ve the robust perception that growing within the open makes design higher software program and this is the reason I opensourced the vast majority of the abilities I constructed for myself. I really like the brand new VirusTotal function that scans your code for safety difficulty. This triggered me to wish to get all my abilities to attain a double “benign” ranking.
Whereas for essentially the most half py is most moveable for abilities, I’m nonetheless fascinated in regards to the concept of getting additionally Swift-based CLIs be utilized in abilities, so that is my first foray on this space:
