The honest project diary — every meaningful change to PocketClaw since launch.
The hardware project is on ice. PocketClaw is now an independent publication on self-hosted AI agents — guides, audits, migration playbooks. Same brand, sharper focus.
All 60+ original guides survive at /guides. /hacks/* URLs are 301-redirected — nothing on the open web breaks.
The full story: why we pivoted.
New deep dives shipping with the relaunch:
Dropped the dark CRT theme for a lighter, more readable identity — mono headings, sans body, warm off-white surfaces, animated scan beam to keep the terminal vibe. Faster, calmer, easier on long reads.
Newsletter delivery moved to AWS SES. Cheaper at scale, more honest deliverability, no third-party data residency concerns.
Pro membership infrastructure live: Stripe Checkout, Customer Portal, webhook automation. Pro features ship in Q3 2026 — the rails are ready when the content is.
Foundational infrastructure for a multi-language, account-aware site. The PWA layer has since been retired — content sites don't need service workers.
First public version of the site. 57 hacks from the Moto E2 AI gateway project published as the seed content.
