I can't believe no one has mentioned Andy Matuschak's work on his notes, "Andy-mode:" https://twitter.com/andy_matuschak/status/156803277302543155...
It's a really clever use of the UI, and I think he'd be happy with it.

Funny, I was just thinking yesterday about how back in '90s, ALL links were blue with an underline (or purple if you've visited it).
Not all, but the vast majority yes, because nobody bothered styling links with CSS.
From Tim Berners-Lee webpage:
Rendition of links
Q: I'm a student of visual communications and asked myself why links are blue. I found some answers that might be, for example blue is a color of learning, but I'm not sure what is right. Is there any reason, why links are colored blue ?
A: There is no reason why one should use color, or blue, to signify links: it is just a default. I think the first WWW client (WorldWideWeb I wrote for the NeXT) used just underline to represent link, as it was a spare emphasis form which isn't used much in real documents. Blue came in as browsers went color - I don't remember which was the first to use blue. You can change the defaults in most browsers, and certainly in HTML documents, and of course with CSS style sheets. There are many examples of style sheets which use different colors.
My guess is that blue is the darkest color and so threatens the legibility least. I used green whenever I could in the early WWW design, for nature and because it is supposed to be relaxing. Robert Cailliau made the WWW icon in many colors but chose green as he had always seen W in his head as green.
One of the nicest link renditions was Dave Raggett's "Arena" browser which had a textured parchment background and embossed out the words of the link with a square apparently raised area."

what's the joke?
ChatGPT overuses the word "delve" in its writing. Search your email for "delve," and look at how common it starts becoming (esp. in marketing emails) around the time ChatGPT takes off.
That's because chatGPT talks to hundreds of millions of people and puts a trillion tokens in their heads per month. And out of every 1000 tokens, a "delve" creeps up.

#114It seems that commonly used terms are cached, pretty neat strategy since this is wikipedia-like information website.

Truly the work of delve elopers.

#116I really, really love this. Even after using it for just a few minutes, I'm sold. Excellent work, will it be open source at some point?
Seconding this, I'd love to add an interface like this to a RAG setup.

#117This is absolutely brilliant. Like Tetris for the Gameboy.
I have no suggestions how to monetise this but its brilliant.
Re: Show HN: ChatGPT UI for rabbit holes
#118I've been craving a gpt ui where I could fork conversations that stem from a genesis thought. Put this on a canvas too so I can zoom out and look at the footprint I left to retrace my steps
In LM Studio you can branch off of any message to start a new conversation at that point: https://github.com/onetimesecret/onetimesecret/assets/1206/f...
Re: Show HN: ChatGPT UI for rabbit holes
#119This is very good. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick." I noticed that if you click on a topic already explored, it won't open again. That's cool, I'd make it snap back to the pane where it's open. Kudos! This is an interesting perspective on how we really need to put a little more effort into the UX of LLMs.
> I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick." Let me see if I can articulate it. You know how a human conversation can have multiple threads? And ten minutes in, you find the topic has totally changed and you're trying to figure out the original topic? Sometimes you can get back to it, sometimes you can't, right? Obviously it's not quite the same when you can see prompt history, bu…
What I really need for ChatGPT is to ask questions on a side panel and not push out the message exchange.
Re: Show HN: ChatGPT UI for rabbit holes
#120I really like this.
How about enabling user to select any piece of text and use it the way the links work now?
For instance, I've noticed it doesn't linkify peoples' names, and one thing I love on Wikipedia is that you can easily lookup people mentioned in the text. So, rather than having thousand links in the page, it would be handy if I could just select the name in the text, click some button (or right-click menu item), and get the new prompt based on the selection (user having to click a few extra times for this custom use-case wouldn't be a problem IMO)
