Thanks! Very valid feedback about the generic branding. Most of my focus has been on getting the app to a dogfooding level where it clearly replaces the last personal CRM I self-ho…

I have loved using Monica CRM for several years, but often times when clicking around the UI it just felt overly laborious compared to just speaking what I wanted to record. So ove…

Often there are "abliterated" or "uncensored" tuned models that suppress the rejections. From my high level understanding it is performed by finding which weights activate for the …

For those looking for mobile support connecting to remote MCP servers, I maintain a source-available chat app that does exactly that (uses OpenRouter for inference): https://benkai…

Would be nice if the MCP implemented the Streamable HTTP MCP spec instead of the CLI one. I know this is already a HTTP API, but making it available as an MCP server that clients l…

One key aspect that is missed here, is mobile users. iOS don't have a CLI, Android phones... kinda have a CLI, but it's not really usable by all apps / universal like it is on desk…

Hi HN, I’ve been watching the rise of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with interest. While it’s gaining traction in the enterprise space for internal tools and databases, I’m conv…

Am a software engineer at Microsoft using a M3 MBP, opinions are my own and all. Honestly one (of many) reasons I opted to go through the exception process to request a macbook was…

Counter-example... some people have no idea that SLS is causing these issues and just chalk it up to how things are. I recently switched to an SLS free toothpaste but it was really…

This is super nice as it's a native unencumbered linux environment. I recently blogged about trying to do web development on the Quest 3, and although it kind of works, it's way mo…

I actually tried doing web dev on a Meta Quest 3 recently, but found the biggest limitation to actually be the lack of devtools in Android. Here is the blog I did discussing the li…

I'm quite curious how they go about licensing the content, maybe they just pay the creators a cut of the subscription fees. Or is it really just scraping youtube in some form? As f…

On this same topic, I just launched an app that lets you use your offline videos in an interface that is easy to use for kids. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kai…

Full number (no + allowed in title): +61493035885 I put together this basic service running on an Android phone with a cheap prepaid SIM that supports "unlimited SMS to 20 countrie…

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of that blog post. That said, their approach sounds kind of disheartening. I love being able to use extensions within my PWAs (primarily uBlock O…

As a developer, the one feature I really love in Chrome is PWAs. But Firefox abandoned PWA support years ago, and seems to have no appetite for adding PWAs back[1]. Maybe I'll just…
