Claws out, stars up, trust down
ClawHub
The new ‘skills app store’ for robot helpers has folks yelling déjà vu and danger
TLDR: ClawHub launches an app‑store‑style hub for AI “skills,” touting easy installs and curated picks. Commenters call it yet another rushed clone with a buggy interface and big security risks, asking why not just generate scripts with AI like Claude—and who’s checking for malware when your private data’s on the line
ClawHub wants to be a “skills app store” for AI helpers—uploadable, versioned bundles you can one‑click install, with smart search and “Highlighted” picks like Trello, Slack, and CalDAV calendars. But the comments did not roll out the red carpet. The top vibe is déjà vu: m‑hodges sighs this feels like the “4th or 5th attempt” in two weeks. Others piled on the bugs, with giancarlostoro saying the skills page keeps shifting so links vanish mid‑click. Not a great first date.
Then came the existential question: do we even need this? arnvald asks why bother browsing when tools like Claude (a popular AI chatbot) can just whip up a custom script from the API docs. That set up the bigger storm: security dread. free_bip wonders who’s scanning these uploads for malware, while etchalon goes full Simpsons with “Don’t worry, we have stars,” mocking the site’s star counts as a trust badge in a world where these “skills” might touch your private and even financial data.
ClawHub’s promise of versions, rollbacks, and “no gatekeeping, just signal” sounds slick, and those download numbers look impressive. But the crowd’s meme‑y verdict today: cool idea, shaky execution, and please—don’t make “install” a synonym for “oops, there goes my bank account.”
