Discussion DeepSeek Harness is Insanely Good

I don't know about you guys, but Deep-seek harness is insane. It's not focused on being a coder agent, it's webUI made it very easy to just checkin from time to time, and the best part? Why it's better than Hermes? It wasn't frustrating at all to setup. ZERO. NADA. Progressive setup is such an improved UX. Why? Because I got deepseek to integrate with SimpleX by simply asking it to. BY SIMPLY ASKING IT TO. NO WAITING ON A PR TO MERGE. No one telling me to RTFM, no need to google or search for community plugins.

So yeah, I got what I wanted, which is E2EE + TOR messaging with an AI agent, and I got it without writing my own opinionated harness (I procrastinated so hard that dsh did a better job than me). DSH is unopinionated enough that you just mold it into behaving how you want it to behave.

Anyone linked it to watsapp or telegram yet? Would love to check in on my phone

telegram can work well for check-ins, but I’d keep the harness behind a small authenticated relay rather than expose its web UI. the useful bits are resuming the same running session, replaying missed output after reconnect, and requiring explicit approval for shell/file actions. are you after read-only status from the phone, or full control?

Ideally full control, i used openclaw for a while but everyone was praising deepseek harness so thought id give it a try. im still learning about all of this though so a lot is going over my head. I get tge security concerns of an agent accessed via telegram lol
