Wrote this blogpost in early Jan. Before the OpenClaw madness.

I think it's never been more relevant to rethink how companies and especially open-source companies can leverage this new shift: words are now executable.

Anyways, would love to get some feedback.

Completely understand. It's up to us to keep shippinh and making this actually good during that time!

Yeah ! I feel like until we figure out the correct UX for non-technical people the right way would be a sort of hybrid. Where you'd set it up on a remote server (if you know opencode you know openwork) and you just then have non-tech people do a one time setup to connect to the remote and from then on you can easily extend capabilities.

let me know if you need help, still a bit rough around the edges

I used "open" because: - it's open source - built on top of open source (opencode) - it's built-around extensibility via plain-text files (skills) and open-source plugins

Yeah it is still too technical.

First obvious stuff like getting the dmg notarized having easier install.

Then after it will be about optimizing onboarding. One of the core goals is to help Susan do 1 small task in under 5 min.

To do that we will need to: - have some prepackaged configs for folks like starter template - ship opencode within the app itself so users don't need to manually install it - and get rid of the technical jargon that is cluttered in the app.

Fixed as well. Thanks again!
