With this framework, I'm making (among other things) an early literacy app at https://letterspractice.com. My aim here is to hit >= 75% efficacy of Mentava at The app is near to production readiness, and I'd be happy to share access now with anyone who has verbal but non-literate kids.

#152By default, home page gives all models in the leaderboard, local and hosted. Search for models in the search box on the home page to find the top models by ranking, local(by size) and hosted (by price).
You can also do deep querying/sorting/searching filters of models in each of these three nodes (see the other tabs on top).
The next steps I am working on (would love feedback on this or anything else):
Phase 1: - Change clicks on home page model tiles in one column to search and show models filtered by that across Artificial Analysis, Ollama, OpenRouter - User specifies their system VRAM (unified/dedicated) and we automatically filter the home page with models that would fit on that RAM - in the three columns. - User specifies their price range (per MTok, max across input and output), and we similarly filter and rank by those models across all columns. - User specifies both (VRAM and price range), and we filter by both - leaderboard is union of local and hosted, local by VRAM and hosted by price range match.
Phase 2: Once I have this working, add a local desktop client that automatically reads user system and infers VRAM, renders app as webview. Considering pyside6 with Qt for this.
Phase 3: On desktop client, user can download and chat with the local models automatically based on leaderboard, optionally call hosted models, etc. Used primarily to evaluate and compare local vs hosted models for user's use cases. Also have some interesting alternate experiences to host within the local private app for user to interact with llms, agents, etc.
Do let me know whether this seems useful, or how I can make it more useful.

#154After getting the top spot in What Are You Working On in Feb 2025 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43157056 ) I started a company on that idea at https://getcomper.ai . After solo building for 11 months I found a co-founder, got an angel investment, then got some ex-Miro folk on board and we are now building the product at breakneck speed. We're a collaborative canvas + context engine for all the code and docs…

#155Another project is https://www.beeldplek.nl, a timelapse platform powered by community photos. The idea is to place a mount and QR code at fixed viewpoints around the neighbourhood. People scan, photograph the view, optionally add their name, and submit. The infrastructure is up and running but getting the permit to place the mount has been a slow process so far.

#158The hard part is doing it without modifying WP, and serverless mariadb that can scale to zero.
