I got tired of my AI forgetting context when switching between my work laptop and home PC, so I built a zero-token-overhead shared memory mesh (Open Source)

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: Hey everyone, Like many of you, I jump between multiple setups daily: my work laptop at the office, my workstation rig at home, and a mobile agent on Telegram while on the go.

Why you might care

Directly relevant to your agent stack. This can affect Hermes behavior, upgrade timing, plugins, gateway surfaces, or ideas worth stealing for OAC/DestructoR666.

Hey everyone, Like many of you, I jump between multiple setups daily: my work laptop at the office, my workstation rig at home, and a mobile agent on Telegram while on the go. The biggest friction point? Context amnesia. Whenever I switch devices, Claude Desktop or Cursor has zero recollection of architectural decisions, ongoing debug sessions, or project q…

Is it worth getting Hermes just for better search and research?

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: I'm increasingly finding that both Codex and the chat interface are struggling at doing web searches and answering questions that need lots of info from the web.

Ask HN: Multi-agent workflows in production; Where people using 1000s of agents?

Editor's read

A community-submitted project/thread. A practical how-to or field note. The title points at this angle: Ask HN: Multi-agent workflows in production; Where people using 1000s of agents?. Treat it as an early smoke signal, not a verdict. HN: 2 points, 4 comments. Query: MCP agent LLM.

Why you might care

MCP is becoming the plumbing layer for agent tools. Worth watching because it shapes what Hermes/OAC can connect to without bespoke glue code.

A post from Simon Willison. Plain version: Release: commit-rewriter 0.1 I built this little web app the other day to help edit the commit messages for the Datasette security releases .

Editorial stance

Twitter is a goblin with binoculars, not the editorial board. V0 watches free sources first: RSS, Reddit, GitHub, HN, arXiv. Articles, research, opinionated field notes, and real user pain reports get top billing; releases are parked lower because staying current matters, but changelog spelunking is not a personality.
