All my agents need are plain .md files in my project directories.

it's interesting -- i think most (non-technical) people don't really have a muscle memory go-to markdown editor. i certainly didn't. i hated obsidian at first! funny how learning to like markdown makes obsidian like 1000x better haha

The value proposition of Markdown is that you don't need a special editor, you can open it with any text editor that comes with your OS and it's human readable already.

Also why is it a nodejs app? With the explosion of LLM and the insane increase in productivity shouldn't it be a Rust app?

I didn't know you can't post emojis! I also exploded laughing reading your comment

I expect people to not understand sarcasm on Reddit. I suppose I shouldn't expect it on HN as well

What would make Rust better for this type of app compared to Node?

Pray tell me why a desktop app is running on a browser in the age of LLMs?

Electron was written to make dev times faster

But since LLMs are basically super engineers can't the app be written in native language rather than running on v8?

Maybe not rust. But then zed people did develop a cross platform library for apps didn't they?!

Well they can win! Since everyone is so pro LLM don't write apps in Nodejs LOL Pre LLM nodejs was convenient option to deploy to all platforms at once. Post LLM that's no longer a limitation! Just prompt more to create apps in native language! Anyways RAM is getting costlier by the day due to LLMs themselves That is unless devs don't use LLMs at all. Then they should simply state in the GitHub repo that we don't use…

> Just prompt more to create apps in native language! If you have ever done that you know that that's as true as "write once, run everywhere". There will always be tweaks and iterations, even if it saves you a lot of time.

I was being sarcastic but okay.

Because every other day we hear how excellent LLM is that we don't need to write code anymore

Sorry, misunderstood that.

The thing is that maybe your comment is sarcasm, but half of HN commenters would make the same comment 100% seriously.

Tauri is a good balance. Rust "backend" plus a native web view, so less JS and a lighter binary.
