In my previous post I wrote about my local AI setup, the hardware, and some of the things I built to make it useful. One of the projects I’ve been working on since then is Clara, a self-hosted personal assistant. I have not open-sourced her codebase yet (coming soon), but it’s a project I’ve been working on for the past year for my own personal needs. OpenClaw and all alternatives just did not do what I needed, and the mental load they were carrying was just too much for me. There’s a lot going on in that project, but for this post I want to focus on one specific part: How I chose to keep a conversation going without constantly filling the model’s context window.

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I believe it’s time I change the way I operate.
In the past 12 years I started a few businesses and open-source frameworks… bootstrap-commerce, Shoestrap, Maera, Kirki, a bunch of others that nobody has ever heard of. I always do the same thing; I build something that I feel will help people, I open-source it and then after a couple of years I try to monetize it by building addons, extrensions etc., for the free thing that I built. It has worked for others so why would it not work for me, right?
Well, the thing is… it doesn’t work for me. It never did. Maybe that’s because I’m no good at promoting what I build. Maybe it’s because I refuse to spend a single cent on advertising. Or maybe it’s the fact that I go at it alone. The reason doesn’t matter… what matters is that it doesn’t work for me, and I’ve spent too much time and energy trying to make it work.
After a decade I have decided to change the way I operate.

The Gutenberg editor is amazing. It allows for flexibility that was previously unheard of without a dedicated page builder. And though everyone kept saying “Gutenberg is not a page-builder”, I think there’s no denying it. It is a page-builder. You can call it an immersive editing experience for all I care, but the truth is it’s a page-builder.

This is one of those random posts that has no real point, it’s just spewing random thoughts and trying to reach a conclusion. There is no structure here, don’t expect to find anything meaningful.
