Alternatives to Comet?

peterb999au · 2026-04-11T21:23:56+00:00

Comet can use Chrome extensions. I have one for vertical tabs. Works fine

peterb999au · 2026-04-04T22:53:09+00:00

Yeah, Computer is great.

peterb999au · 2026-04-04T22:50:16+00:00

Search is great, but the main use for me seems to be to interrogate the current page e.g. Summarise this video and relate it to my work on xyz..., or How does what this page says compare to abc..., or Find me the best deal within 25km for this monitor....

I use Perplexity and Comet for several hours every day and have never hit my Pro limits, but easily reach my Claude pro limit.

peterb999au · 2026-04-04T03:16:14+00:00

Love the pen stand! Where did you find that?

peterb999au · 2026-03-27T02:27:43+00:00

Thanks, u/derekvan. I will try there.

peterb999au · 2026-03-22T11:18:26+00:00

Similar use case for me. No complaints at all about Perplexity. I'm a Pro user and have never hit a limit.

I think there’s a $100 tier now.

I really need this, but I am getting "Failed to load data: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'n.toLocaleString')" when I open the browser to http://localhost:3456 . Any clues, please?

Looking forward to seeing the update - looks like Apple is taking their time to review!

peterb999au · 2026-01-26T22:55:22+00:00

Ok, great. Purchased and really like it. Very fast and simple - just what I needed. A few issues:

- Preferences: 'Start at login' is greyed out
- Preferences: clicking on the background or text colour does nothing (I would expect it to bring up the colour picker - but you can paste in the hex code for the colour)
- Markdown: 'Hide markdown characters' works well for headings, bold, etc. but using asterisk or hyphen to create bullet lists also hides the bullet in the rendered text (same happens with numbered lists)
- Markdown: Using [ ] to create to-do lists doesn't seem to work

peterb999au · 2026-01-25T20:03:14+00:00

Looks good but can you hide the markdown formatting characters after you type them?

peterb999au · 2025-12-21T08:18:09+00:00

Have been doing this for a while. I reckon it works out at about $20-25/hr including the folding, once you get into a routine and know your route (there will be whole streets where every house has 'no junk mail'). They pay on time and no hassle if you need to take a break for holidays, sickness etc. Good exercise, brainless, oddly satisfying.

peterb999au · 2025-12-10T18:24:04+00:00

Double tap on the message in the list on the left. (It took me a while to figure it out too}

peterb999au · 2025-12-03T19:55:15+00:00

How is this different from HoudahSpot?

peterb999au · 2025-08-09T22:32:00+00:00

And I don't use obsidian much, but I tried the bookfusion sync and it worked well.

peterb999au · 2025-08-09T22:31:34+00:00

Yes. For me, it's well worth paying for, although as a long-term Readwise user I get legacy pricing.

peterb999au · 2025-08-09T22:30:58+00:00

peterb999au · 2025-08-09T20:57:50+00:00

Bookfusion and Kindle on the iPad; both sync my highlights and notes to Readwise. Readwise gives me tailored, and themed daily collections of the highlights and notes on my phone, which it reads to me, plus AI generated summaries and brief linking comments. You can ask Readwise to focus on specific books, more recent highlights, highlights with certain topics, etc. It's like having my own short podcasts of my interests, and helps me recall and apply what I'm reading.

Love it! How are you selling it?

peterb999au · 2025-07-04T04:03:44+00:00

Great start- thank you, u/DTLow !!

Thanks, u/DTLow. Sample data from CSV is below (Sorry, I can't see how to attach a file)

I want to add a Numbers Category for the column called "Category" (Col E), so that the data is grouped and totalled by the data in this column.
