thank you, i appreciate it! yes, the software is api first, and much of it’s utility comes from working in other environments like google docs, ios shortcuts, etc..

in essence, the core of the project is a vector database that works for end users who want no fuss quick capture, semantic and fts search, the ability to create new relationships with marginalia.

im not trying to replace tools like obsidian or notion, i think ycb works better with them doing what they do best! i also plan to make the stack self hostable in the near future :)

I am building a game called The kill every mosquito Project (tkemp) inspired on The Kill everyone Project (tkep) from around 2006-2007. Mostly as an experiment to learn some new tools, unsure if it will ever be released.

I'm building a tool for uni students to study more effectively and have less stress for their exams. This is done with the study techniques retrieval practice(practising remembering to make recall easier, spaced repetition(schedule reviews for long term memorization, concrete examples. Most of this is done with ai generated flashcards and simple ai explanations. This week I will finish the exam generation feature. http://www.mimair.com

A cross-platform clipboard manager / search-and-filter tool / launcher built with Flutter that has a simple Python plugin interface.

Plugins can be used to add new "result actions" and new sources of entries to filter and select. Eg. recent Jira tickets, email inbox, shell history, Notion pages, etc. The result actions are a way to easily perform common transformations on selected entries (eg. wrap in triple backticks, find and parse json, trim whitespace, ...) or kickoff some script with a selected entry as an argument.

Project started as a result of having to do a lot of work using Ubuntu and sorely missing Alfred and all the workflows I'd built with it. I wanted something for which I could build workflows once and have those workflows available on whatever system I'm on. Plus to be able to build some plugins that would be usable by coworkers regardless of what operating system they're using and with minimal runtime resource usage. There are some existing cross-platform solutions which could serve this purpose, like Cerebro, Ueli, Script Kit, some others.., but I wanted something lighter weight than is possible with an Electron app. Granted the current state of Epte is that it's built with Flutter + Go + Python so the final distributable and runtime memory usage are higher than is ideal.

Basic Windows support is almost there but there doesn't seem to be a great solution to switching to existing windows of an application instead of just re-launching it. The tool isn't intended to be as good or better than any given OS's built-in launcher so I'll probably just leave that as-is and upload the current state of the Windows build.
