It's hard to not notice all the buzz around the Claw. And the idea wasn't that hard to sell to me. "AI agent running 24/7 doing stuff", cmon, who doesn't like that?
However, I had 2 bugs that prevented me from using OpenClaw with my local AI setup. Being a software engineer that I am, my first instinct was to fix that thang and send a patch on GitHub. However... That thang is nearly 600,000 lines of code and only a few weeks old at the time I tried it.
It hit me immediately, this damn thing was slop-vibed into existence. Anyhow, I didn't wanna lose my mind trying to understand those 600,000 lines of code, instead I just started writing my own in Golang, including the GUI. All native, using only 120MB when idle. Web and Mobile support coming soon, Mac, Windows, and Linux for now only.
Justabot, not just a bot. It has all the good stuff you need in an agentic framework. It can use the browser, code, navigate the file system, execute shell commands. It's fully featured, secure, private and most of all simple to use agentic framework. Say goodbye to setting up databases and waging wars with Node & Python run-times. Justabot is meant to be used by all people, not just us nerds.

Ha, 600K lines for something weeks old is wild. I hit the same wall with OpenClaw and ended up going a completely different direction Claude-based agents on a cheap VPS, no bloated framework needed. Way simpler to maintain. Happy to share the setup if you're curious
