i can see this being a good alt or gateway to openclaw/hermes/aidevops, too, and make agentic working collaborative — investigating

looks very promising, and backed by Jack Dorsey and the Square team, so you'd expect to evolve quickly and stay maintained for enterprise scale

Packaged for Cloudron here:

Looks nice, and seems to all be working well.

@marcusquinn great work

[marcusquinn]

@timconsidine thanks!

i have an aidevops routine that will check daily for upstream app updates and weekly for cloudron updates, so that should all be automated

open to issues, suggestions, requests — just log them in the repo, and my aidevops should triage them for attention, with maintainer gating before any are acted on
