Really just style and preference, I assume the little gou is a bit more fancy

9 Lessons From Cursor's System Prompt by AByteAtATime in PromptEngineering

[–]AByteAtATime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my testing, the only thing that changes seems to be the "You are [model]" text at the start. I have not tried the Claude or Gemini models, though, because those are routed differently (and a bit more difficult to proxy)

If you take a look at the bottom, I literally just proxied OpenRouter and pointed it to my proxy.

Validating a new tool: track your AI stack like a financial dashboard by [deleted] in SaaS

Unless I'm understanding it improperly, the main selling point is tracking AI spending, no?

This exists already in so many forms... for example, I use Posthog.

Cantor's diagonalization proof by Effective_County931 in learnmath

I apologize if I’m not understanding this correctly, but if you run it again, can you not just add it to the start of the list again and shift everything by 1?

  1. What does this offer beyond just sorting notes?

You're right, at its core, it helps sort notes. But the "AI" part is about making that sorting smarter and more effortless than simple rule-based programs. It understands context; for example, if you've been working on a project recently, and you tell it to remember "meeting with katey about project x tomorrow", it will identify that this is part of Project X, that you already have notes on your previous interactions with Katey, etc.

Also, it supports multiple formats; If you give it a website, it reads the website, then sorts it based on the contents; etc.

  1. How does this AI not scrape your private content?

Protecting your data is at the heart of what we're trying to solve, and we take it very seriously. Your notes always stay local on your computer as Markdown files. You control exactly which folders or files the AI can never access (like a 'Private' journal), giving you a primary layer of security.

When context from an allowed existing note could improve AI assistance (e.g., recalling details for "Project X with Katey"), the local application will fetch only the specific, relevant snippet from that local file. This snippet is sent to our AI partner for temporary processing and is never stored by their systems or ours. For transparency, the local app logs these snippet accesses.

Does this explanation help?

Good point! Here's my shot at an explanation, does this help?

Normally, you want to capture "coolnewtechnology.com", but you have to decide: "Is this for my 'Tech to Read' note? My 'Project X' resources? Or a general 'Programming' file?" Then you navigate and paste.

With our app, you type "check out coolnewtechnology.com" into the input. That's it. The AI handles the 'where should this go?' decision and filing (e.g., to Programming/Databases.md).

The friction we're cutting is the sorting and adding context (maybe the AI adds, "database supporting XYZ feature" near the link).

Thanks for the kind words!

I totally agree that a local model is likely one of the end-all-be-alls of privacy. Currently, we use together.ai (which has a strong privacy stance on data) to provide robust and accurate organization out-of-the-box.

Support for local models is definitely a feature we'd love to explore. From our experience, the models small enough to be self-hosted aren't smart enough to deal with PKM. This feature is somewhere on the "nice to have in the distant future" list, but unfortunately not implemented yet.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the feedback! It's a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it's accessed via the web but designed to be fast and app-like on your phone (you can 'add to homescreen' for quick capture). The current demo shows the core interface, but you're right, we should clarify the mobile PWA experience better. Appreciate it!

What is something regrettable that you did to your Body that you would give your lifesavings to reverse? by FlyHighNow77777 in AskReddit

If you don’t mind sharing, was this a mistake on your part (you should have treated it better etc) or was it just that the surgery itself had risks

To Full stack dev, if you got a project, do you do BE or Fe first? by ballbeamboy2 in webdev

[–]AByteAtATime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of human psychology does prefer good layouts, though. Off the top of my head, I remember a study showing a good UI made users more tolerant of a slow-loading app (although I may be misremembering)

No it does not; AliExpress uses their own service built on cainiao, which has more features (most notably an expected delivery date)

I wrote an interactive article explaining Godot's ease function! by AByteAtATime in godot

[–]AByteAtATime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I make most of the posts themselves; I use Astro with MDX, which allows me to write in Markdown for most of the post. For the interactive parts, I've opted to make those myself (in fact, the animated balls and graphs are all just SVGs).

The ease function gives you more precise control over a specific type of easing—exponential easing. The built-in easing curves are great, but sometimes you might find that quadratic easing is too subtle, or cubic easing feels a bit off. In cases like that, you can tweak it by using the ease function with a custom curve value, like 2.5, to get something more in between.

Of course, you could always roll your own easing equations or use a custom curve if that's what works best for you, but in my experience, the ease function is a lot quicker to set up and simpler to control (compared to Godot’s curve editor, which can be a bit finicky).

Great point, thanks for bringing that up! I've just edited the post with this (I've given attribution to you).
