    Great feedback. It would be great to connect Memento to Slack and possibly the user's photo archive as well. And if we can map the canonical user across all these stores, the Memen…

    Show HN: Memento – Self-hosted agentic search and LLM wiki over your email

    Our email inboxes carry multiple decades of messages (100K-500K). This is a good proxy for all the important things that happened in your life, the projects you have done and the p…

    Thanks for the feedback. The system prompt for the web app is optimized to balance between too short a summary vs not long enough. The browser extension, on the other hand, allows …

    Another interesting link relevant to AI summaries for HN discussion is the utility created by simonw [0]. Our tool is quite similar to what simonw did, except that we make the back…

    Another interesting feature for HN users in the companion Bluesky bot we created [0]. It analyzes top stories from HN [1] and generates a new Bluesky thread every hour using the sa…

    When people hear about AI summaries, this is what comes to mind. And I understand their concern. Wouldn’t a summary strip away the essence of a conversation? Let me explain with an…

    Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m also hoping similar media management options are available on iOS and desktop, since I use Signal across devices. By the way, does Signal treat synced d…

    It would be really useful to have more client-side control over media storage. That way, I could better manage storage growth without wiping entire threads. For example, being able…

    SQLite's backward compatibility means many best practices - like WAL mode, foreign key enforcement, and sane busy timeouts - are not enabled by default. The author's Go library, sq…

    This is a great idea! Exactly what I was also thinking and started working on a side-project. Currently the project can create summaries like this [1]. Since HN Homepage stories ch…

    I tried summarizing the thread so far (339 comments) with a custom system prompt [0] and a user-prompt that captures the structure (hierarchy and upvotes) of the thread [1]. This i…
