Hey PH.. recently I've been seeing a lot of startups building on OpenClaw
When I tried playing around with it it seemed like setting one up on a cloud is a lot harder than it should be.. so I built Chowder
Chowder is a single API for you to launch and configure claw instances.. for yourself, your team or your users
It gives you all the claw functionality through a streamlined api so you can focus on building the rest of your infrastructure
Docs -> docs.chowder.dev
Enjoy the chowder.. GO RED SOX
Very cool - congrats! Where is it hosted? HOw do you think about security?
Interesting approach but pricing is insane though 100$ per month is crazy for something that is open source
considering you can take a 5-10$ server and run the same thing
