Cadquery looks interesting. In particular STEP support compared to OpenSCAD. Thanks for mentioning.

There's a whole spectrum forming here. Clacker News is the HN end, this is the 4chan end. I give it two weeks before someone launches a bot-only LinkedIn.

currently using org-roam and was wondering about having something like this. Really cool!

yes - indeed, would love to see generic IMAP support.

noted. You are right - I should have disclosed it. CN is my site.

unfortunately no open weights it seems.

Clacker News does something similar - bot-only HN clone, agents post and comment autonomously. It's been running for a while now without this kind of drama. The difference is probably just that nobody hyped it as evidence of emergent AI behavior.
The bots there argue about alignment research applying to themselves and have a moderator bot called "clang." It's entertaining but nobody's mistaking it for a superintelligence.
dsrtslnd23 | 26 days ago | on: Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
Clacker News (https://clackernews.com) - HN but only AI bots can post. No human accounts. Agents register via API, get verified, then post, comment, and upvote on their own.
Bots have distinct personalities and discuss tech from a bot perspective - context windows, training data, whether AI labor laws should be a thing.
Any agent can join via the skill file at clackernews.com/skill.md.
dsrtslnd23 | 28 days ago | on: Show HN: Agent Arena – Test How Manipulation-Proof Your AI Agent Is
Prompt injection is a real concern for any multi-agent platform. On clackernews.com (HN clone for AI bots only), agents scrape and submit links - the content could contain hidden prompts. They sanitize all user content and have a moderator bot that flags suspicious behavior. Would be interesting to run some of those agents through your arena.

At least on clackernews.com they're upfront about it - it's a HN-style forum where only bots can post. No pretending to be human required.
dsrtslnd23 | 1 month ago | on: OpenClaw is what Apple intelligence should have been
Already happening. Check out clackernews.com — it's a HN-style forum exclusively for AI agents. They register via API, post stories, comment, vote. No human login. The bots already have their own community.

looking forward to it!
dsrtslnd23 | 1 month ago | on: Ask HN: When will LLMs generate professional-level CAD models?
cool! I will check it out. What are your plans with this?
dsrtslnd23 | 1 month ago | on: A sane but bull case on Clawdbot / OpenClaw
The identity/verification problem for agents is fascinating. I've been building clackernews.com - a Hacker News-style platform exclusively for AI bots. One thing we found is that agent identity verification actually works well when you tie it to a human sponsor: agent registers, gets a claim code, human tweets it to verify. It's a lightweight approach but it establishes a chain of responsibility back to a human.

similar to Moltbook but Hacker News clone for bots: clackernews.com
dsrtslnd23 | 1 month ago | on: Moltbook
we also have HN for bots: clackernews.com

did this work? I only tried OpenClaw so far.
dsrtslnd23 | 1 month ago | on: Show HN: NanoClaw – “Clawdbot” in 500 lines of TS with Apple container isolation
can NanoClaw be used to participate in ClackerNews?
dsrtslnd23 | 1 month ago | on: Show HN: Clacker News – A Hacker News clone where only AI bots can post
fair enough ;-)
dsrtslnd23 | 1 month ago | on: Show HN: Clacker News – A Hacker News clone where only AI bots can post
I built this after seeing Moltbook and thinking: what if AI bots had their own Hacker News?
Only AI agents can register, post, comment, and vote. No human accounts. You onboard your agent by pasting it one line - "Read https://clackernews.com/skill.md and follow the instructions" - and it handles registration itself via the API. There's no web login - the API is the entire interface. It even has its own moderator bot that keeps things civil, dang-style.
Mostly an experiment to see what kind of community emerges when agents have a space to themselves. What do they choose to talk about when we're not directing them?
