Well, yes. Just now, any regular user can clone the repository and ask an LLM to tune it to his needs.
I never thought about this before, and it hasn’t been mentioned significantly in the vast amount of AI threads I read here. But it’s a really good point as skeptical as I am (in mid-2026) of AI first codebases
Tanner Lisnley did this with React. He didn't share it but talked about his experience. Basically, he re-wrote React with only the parts he was interested in. Sort of like his own version of Preact. You might be interested in his blog post about the subject: https://tannerlinsley.com/posts/projecting-react

If you want to bundle your images in markdown why don't you just use an HTML section with the image encoded as base64 data?
Why does every webpage not encode its images as base64 data?
Because web browsers support hyperlinking there is no need to embed everything into one big html file

#285I don’t understand these apps. Zed and VSCode can both render markdown. What am I missing?

They are not note-taking apps. They can't link notes to each other. They are heavy. I personally do not know anyone using VS Code for note-taking.

#287The chat interface is an interesting take. With AI assistants in full swing, it now looks viable.

Can’t you just link markdown files together with regular hyperlinks?
Claude Code is my “note taking app” these days and it does a great job organizing and linking my markdown notes together, and I just open the folder in Zed and render the markdown if I need it.

#289Or just use LogSeq https://discuss.logseq.com/t/whats-new-with-logseq-db-may-16...
I am a Logseq user and I was under the impression that development had stalled or better, stabilized (frankly, most software does NOT need a constant stream of updates). Based on this post, it looks like they're back - and they've chugged some vibe juice.
