Thanks! One big distinction: we aren't trying to automate people's browsing / clicking, but augment people's thinking. This creates a different feature set / model: tabs feeding in…

Thanks for this. You forgot about the Deta Studio and the Horizon desktop app ;) But on your question -- we're backed by supportive investors, and try to be frugal (we've had our f…

Great question. We'd look at Obsidian as a reference. We think there are a lot of value added services that can happen when you need servers, but they should be user aligned & opti…

We are in Berlin. Welcome! Don't know too many, unfortunately. AI Tinkerers organizes a few a year: https://berlin.aitinkerers.org/

We see NotebookLM as the closest thing! Surf is built entirely on editable WYSIWYG documents, NotebookLM's main AI is built on chat. Surf is built to be a bit more open, NotebookLM…

The big difference UX wise between chatbots and Surf is that Surf is built entirely on editable documents that you can mold / craft into an output (vs chat). We actually had a chat…

Yes great point. Photos are intended as a very important subset of media. Not (yet) super usable, but for photos we have local OCR running, with Surf creating additional metadata (…

Yes agree, the Notebook / homepage UX still needs work. We recently introduced a sidebar (after the video was made) which has them organized as you mention.

Thanks for the input. We took inspiration from analog notebooks as a tool for thought, but wanted something for multi-media. We also see NotebookLM as the closest mainstream produc…

Many ideas are inspired by Space, but totally different codebase.

Thanks for the link, super interesting! We have a super early form of runnable code, called "Surflets". More info here: https://github.com/deta/surf/blob/main/docs/SURFLETS.md Basi…

Hi HN! We got frustrated with the fragmented experience of exploring & creating across our file manager, the web and document apps. Lots of manual searching, opening windows & tabs…

My colleague did the site, but thanks for the kind words (also for flagging the typo)! Awesome, please let us know if you have any feedback / questions.

Deta provides you with integrated backend services, like a database (already) or files (soon). Disclaimer: Deta is the main project I'm working on now; yarc is my most recent side …

This was down for a bit but should be fixed now, sorry!

Hi — another co-creator here, thanks for the feedback. With respect to your first question, I believe abdelhai answered it in another thread above. We totally empathize with the ex…

Hey HN, Snipz is a small app that lets you share code snippets. These snippets aren't static, but can accept suggestions, which are merge-able via a 'merge password'. The original …
