The signature figure on the repo shows file contents alongside a chat window. Is this actually supported by the app? I can't figure out how to open a chat window in the app without handing off to an external AI app.

I was really dissapointed whem realized that they sell on the webpage what they don't have in the app

Deleted immediately

So it's just a Electron editor + "open in %agent" button... I don't see any reasons to use it instead of. obsidian + my agents.

More

1. Webpage is lying and showing stuff what you don't have in the app

2. You made changes to my .zshrc without asking me.

3. Slow. Open and render tiny md file with 10 lines - 1s

Removed, will never install again

Would it possible to support Org Mode?

Could you share more on what's important for you there?

Org Mode is wiredly used in Emacs, taking notes etc, github also support org mode. As a knowledge editor, it is better to support.

I really wanted to like this, but unfortunately couldn't see how it improves my experience over Obsidian or VS Code. The fact that I have to juggle between OpenKnowledge and Codex to engage the AI, while also accepting a barebones Obsidian, is a real bummer. From what I can tell, you are saving me a few key strokes with moving prompts around. What I really want is the AI to live IN the app, like VS Code, and then mov…

You should just integrate with pi.dev, like I did for https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw (which has replaced Obsidian for me). I too integrated a terminal and a WYSIWYG Markdown editor (as well as plugins for a mindmap, kanban, etc.)

Looks very relevant, will take a look. Definitely looking at built-in-chat-ui, thinking about how to integrate with the harnesses.

Ye built in AI is the only way this makes sense to me. Or otherwise could just add a terminal where you can run any TUI mapped to that notes/vaults dir or something.

You'll note that's the claude app if you actually look at the preview, which while confusing advertising what isn't even your app, does show how it works with the hand off.
