Given how the blog is presented, I assumed this was something novel that solved a unique problem, maybe a local multi-modal assistant for your device. I installed it and it's none of that. It is a mere wrapper around small local LLM models. And, it's not even multi-modal! Anyone could've one-shotted this in Claude in an hour (I'm not exaggerating). What's the target audience here? Your average person doesn't care abo…

> Anyone could've one-shotted this in Claude in an hour I think they did. If you start the download and then open the sidebar and/or background the app, the download progress bar disappears and is replaced by the download button.

Meanwhile, my Ente photos app crashes 20 times a day on iOS when using advanced functionality such as scrolling through my photos. They also have a TOTP auth app? If their photos app stopped crashing and they pursued basic feature parity between their iOS and desktop apps (IMO table stakes for a photo sync service) I'd have no issue recommending them. Instead, it seems like every so often they just branch off into a…

We'd like to fix the crashes.

Sorry for the troubles.

I've been a big fan of Ente and their work and am a paying customer but, man, this comment in a long-standing GitHub feature request is ringing truer every day: > Ente is becoming like Proton: too many products and a lack of focus, leading to lower quality and not delivering what customers want https://github.com/ente-io/ente/discussions/552#discussionco...

Hi, we had addressed this concern (along with the timelines for nested albums) during our recent AMA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lkTspvi_mM&t=1728s

If you have any follow up questions, please do ask.

No you didn't.

>desktop app

Make it an Android and iOS app, get it published in the respective stores, add cross-device sync, and then you'll have a comparable proposition.

That is, when I will be able to tell my friends to look up that Gerbil app and use that on their phone instead of ChatGPT when there's no service.
