Show HN: Claworc – Manage multiple OpenClaw instances from a single dashboard

My friend wanted to give everyone on my team their own OpenClaw agent but quickly ran into the obvious problems: no isolation, no auth, no way to manage N instances without it becoming a mess.

Claworc is a lightweight control plane that wraps each OpenClaw instance in its own container. You get a web UI to create/stop/remove instances, watch the agent's browser live via proxied noVNC, chat with agents, manage files, and stream logs. All traffic goes through a single entry point with authentication.

Access control is multi-user with admin and user roles — admins manage everything, users only see instances assigned to them. You set global API key defaults so you're not copy-pasting keys into every instance, but each instance can override with its own model and keys. Works with any LLM that OpenClaw supports.

Deploys on Docker for a single box or Kubernetes for production. The control plane is a single Go binary serving the dashboard and proxy.

Instances are fully isolated (separate filesystems, no inter-instance communication), monitored by systemd, and auto-restarted on crash. Storage persists across restarts.

Open source, self-hosted, MIT licensed. Feedback and contributions welcome.

Ask HN: How to handle a 'Junior' title when Im doing Mid-level work? Time to go?

Hey all,

Don't have many tech people to talk to so thought I would ask here.

So to summarize, I was in BI from 2022 until 2025 when i transitioned to a junior software dev job. I wasn't in a great position when I got the offer, so I had to accept a lowball offer (~75k). A year and a month pass, I ask for $100k and a title change from junior and am told no title change and 10% raise.

I don't think this is fair since I do full stack work, SQL, code reviews, manage stakeholders internally and externally, and complete tickets/features on my own. I'm very much a team player, well-liked by people in different areas. My direct manager is supportive and agrees I'm performing above my title but his hands are tied by leadership. He actually suggested I drop 'Junior' from my resume if/when applying elsewhere

I feel my output significantly exceeds the "Junior" label and the new salary floor.

Is a 10% raise standard in this economy when responsibilities have scaled this much?

How much does the "Junior" title on my resume hurt my prospects if I decide to jump ship now?

Should I push harder for the title even without the money?

Midwest, .NET stack, C#/JS

Thanks in advance.

Show HN: AIOpt – local-only guardrail for LLM token/cost regressions

Hi HN — I built this after repeatedly seeing LLM cost regressions slip through review because nothing breaks; it’s just token drift and then a surprise bill.

AIOpt is a local-only CLI + CI gate that: - uses observed usage as a baseline (usage.jsonl/csv) - estimates candidate deltas (model/context/output/retry/traffic) - emits deterministic artifacts + SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning

No server, no uploads.

I’d really appreciate feedback on what would make this more useful in real PR review: 1) What signals/UX make token/cost regressions actionable (beyond “it’s higher”)? 2) Any must-have integrations you’d expect?
