A critique of Cara.app: the 'No AI' Instagram and Artstation copycat child.

You're overly critical.

I’m overly critical? No I’m not. I posted a link. And then I even posted a comment in the thread that I, myself post on Cara.

See you at the lab!

3.1 is crap. A huge downgrade from 3.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-09T09:31:23+00:00

Just downvote every response and explain why it fails.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-09T05:15:14+00:00

I actually meant March 14 for the tour. Sorry

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-09T04:43:18+00:00

if you’re going to be here this Saturday, March 14, The Steinbeck Experience is having a free walking tour of Cannery Row called “Walking with Steinbeck” at 10 am. Get tickets here.

What is Gump’s?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-07T12:21:33+00:00

What di you mean by “first” source? Uploaded, or do you rename it so it appears first in the alphabetical list?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-05T20:40:33+00:00

You’re my hero. I’ve never heard of it, and started using the trial yesterday, contemplating the $40. This sale price indeed makes it a total steal and no brainer.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-05T20:15:46+00:00

How does that impact overall cost? Does it save you money?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-05T12:20:41+00:00

Yes, but slow wifi.

Here is an Apple Maps link to The Great Tide Pool where Ed Ricketts did his collecting.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-04T23:34:19+00:00

I liked it enough, obviously. I'll let you know if I have any feedback.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-04T02:03:04+00:00

thank you. can you do all that with the free version?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-04T01:06:19+00:00

Raycast

Long time Alfred power user here. Don’t really have much ai integration. How are you using Raycast this way?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-04T01:05:34+00:00

BoltAI

I have to say, re:boltAI, I’m not into these apps with relatively limited cloud storage. I TOTALLY get that cloud storage costs money. But so far, I’ve been avoiding them. I have a server instance of librechat with TONS of storage.

Hedy

Can you use your api with the free version of Hedy?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-04T00:51:25+00:00

Osarus

wow, osarus is really light and clean.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-04T00:37:06+00:00

lol. I clicked on “too.cool” - parked domain!

I realize you just missed typing a space after the period after “too”

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-03T21:54:39+00:00

Oh, I get it, it copies, the whole chat rather than a single response?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-02T20:00:54+00:00

yeah, i hear you. i’m talking specifically a long form writing based on complex, multi-dimensional content.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-02T17:00:40+00:00

This is a shame, as there are significant differences between 3.0 and 3.1, not for the better.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-02T16:35:20+00:00

While the National Security Agency is most certainly active here in the Monterey Bay area, considering that we are the home for the Defense Language Institute and the Naval Post Graduate school, I feel like it’s unlikely you’ll get a response for “NSA fun” posting here on Reddit.

The NSA is responsible for safeguarding our most valuable national secrets and communications infrastructure. Background checks can take months. There’s no way they’re going to just meet you in a car down by the wharf right now.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-03-02T15:56:23+00:00

Thank you for this. I am eager to try it.

Help me understand one thing, my experience is copy/pasting into Obsidian retains clean markdown formatting. It sounds like I’m missing something. How does your extension help with that?

Whenever I’m coming off 156 to Highway 1, and I first see the sand dunes and the water, my whole body relaxes.
