This looks really nice! Congratulations on building something awesome, especially in a space that's "crowded" with the big players. I want to give kudos to two things: 1. It took you 10 months to build this. This is focused product development and craftsmanship which is very different from Vibe coding something. So let this be a reminder to all the "I can vibe code this or that in a weekend". Good products / experien…

> This is focused product development and craftsmanship which is very different from Vibe coding something. So let this be a reminder to all the "I can vibe code this or that in a weekend". Good products / experiences take time. How do you know? There isn't a git repo that one can see the history of, he could have coded this in one weekend and used the rest of the time doing noncoding activities. Also, he could have…

That’s half of the point! Building (and selling) products requires a lot of those too.

Subsciption and Online means not for me

Agreed. The developer has the right to share his labors any way they want. I fully respect that.

I also don't object to paying for something I find useful or valuable. But I really hate subscription-ware.

But I'm a local-first privacy-focused user and only by self-hosting a tool am I comfortable using it.

So for me this tool is also a no-go.

A bit similar to Lex, which I love using for writing, but bringing any doc over is very useful.

Yeah Im aware of Lex. I think it falls short in a lot of ways. If you have ideas of how Revise could improve for writing, please email me your thoughts art@revise.io

sounds like you be more open to it if Revise worked as a native app (Tauri) with ability to run it against your own LLM endpoint/keys

this may be something I offer one day, with some kind of one-time license. I can't really make this work without a subscription right now, because it relies on servers I host and LLMs provided by 3rd parties which have metered billing.
