I'm using AnythingLLM for this now. https://anythingllm.com/ MIT License on GitHub This week it got the X.ai API added which is what I'm using. Grok is not as good as Claude or ChatGPT yet, but don't bet against Elon. https://x.com/ServeTheHome/status/1850917031421399543 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1830650370336473253 It's the desktop solution I've been looking for.

You have to be psychotic to not use dark mode and prefer light.

You've gotta be nuts not to be psychotic in a world like this one.

I’m nearly 40 and I can’t use light mode anymore. Judging from how many older coders use it I think it’s just you, mate.

No, it's related to Astigmatism. The eye lens gets distorted. Bright light shrinks the pupil, meaning the light goes through less of your lens and hence is not as distorted.

And?

You said: “ 1. No light mode (why does everyone want dark mode, it sucks for anyone older than 30)”

I’ve had astigmatism literally my entire life and, once again, have loved dark mode anywhere it’s been offered (except my Kindle, which just looks weird).

Every programmer over the age of 30 that I know uses dark mode exclusively, and there’s a reason companies offer it: it is widely used and demanded.

Acting everybody in the demographic of people over 30 feels the way you feel about it on account of their age is just laughable.

For those that use LLMs in a similar manner to a search engine the Anthropic team (unlike Meta AI and Google Gemini) have made it easy to use Claude from right within your browser. In Firefox add a bookmark with the following values: - Name: Claude AI - URL: https://claude.ai/new?q=%s - Keyword: ai (or whatever you'd like to use as a shortcut) Now from the URL bar you can type: ai For ChatGPT use https://chatgpt.com/…

This is exactly how Vimium`s custom search works

These prompts are terrific, thank you!

Some haven't been updated for a while. Try the "software-evaluation.md" prompt, it's one of my best. I use it often. Use the bin/gp script to get them into your clipboard.

Is there an actual good use case for these desktop apps vs the web?

(I hope this thread doesn't go anywhere. I just feel like complaining.) There's been some inflection point where the desktop version is now often worse than the web app. And you can't blame web tech because the web app in the browser is usually quite good. WhatsApp on macOS has catastrophic bugs for years. I regularly can't focus the input field and have to relaunch it. Until recently, its image modal would regularly…

Yeah agreed on all of this. Most desktop apps that come after their web-based versions feel like an afterthought.

I have an astigmatism and I prefer light mode because of it. Dark mode causes the letters to jump more and the optometrist agreed light mode is better for people with astigmatism and its a common issue.
