Thanks! Very valid feedback about the generic branding. Most of my focus has been on getting the app to a dogfooding level where it clearly replaces the last personal CRM I self-hosted (Monica). People are definitely more likely to roll the

I have loved using Monica CRM for several years, but often times when clicking around the UI it just felt overly laborious compared to just speaking what I wanted to record. So over the last few months I've been putting together an alt

Often there are "abliterated" or "uncensored" tuned models that suppress the rejections. From my high level understanding it is performed by finding which weights activate for the rejection and lowering those so the mode

For those looking for mobile support connecting to remote MCP servers, I maintain a source-available chat app that does exactly that (uses OpenRouter for inference): https://benkaiser.github.io/joey-mcp-client/

Would be nice if the MCP implemented the Streamable HTTP MCP spec instead of the CLI one. I know this is already a HTTP API, but making it available as an MCP server that clients like Joey[1] can consume easily over network would be nice. [

One key aspect that is missed here, is mobile users. iOS don't have a CLI, Android phones... kinda have a CLI, but it's not really usable by all apps / universal like it is on desktop. I've been putting together a MCP cl

Am a software engineer at Microsoft using a M3 MBP, opinions are my own and all. Honestly one (of many) reasons I opted to go through the exception process to request a macbook was the screen brightness. The fact you can run software to boo

I think the parent may be referring to the fact that safari/webkit will evict all localstorage/indexeddb/caches etc after 7 days of not visiting a site. And apparently this now extends to PWAs making it a pretty big blog to b

Counter-example... some people have no idea that SLS is causing these issues and just chalk it up to how things are. I recently switched to an SLS free toothpaste but it was really hard to track one down that still had flouride in it!

This is super nice as it's a native unencumbered linux environment. I recently blogged about trying to do web development on the Quest 3, and although it kind of works, it's way more hacky (and performance is still lacking). The n

I actually tried doing web dev on a Meta Quest 3 recently, but found the biggest limitation to actually be the lack of devtools in Android. Here is the blog I did discussing the limitations: https://benkaiser.dev/web-develop

I'm quite curious how they go about licensing the content, maybe they just pay the creators a cut of the subscription fees. Or is it really just scraping youtube in some form? As for the search you mentioned, that might come into it fo

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of that blog post. That said, their approach sounds kind of disheartening. I love being able to use extensions within my PWAs (primarily uBlock Origin, obviously), and some Android Chrome forks (Kiwi&

As a developer, the one feature I really love in Chrome is PWAs. But Firefox abandoned PWA support years ago, and seems to have no appetite for adding PWAs back[1]. Maybe I'll just have to split my usage across PWAs in Chrome (since I

Yeah there's a way to do this with Calibre + some plugins on windows. I tried on my Mac but it was unsuccessful.

Not the best reporting, but still interesting (although not surprising) that the Australian gov is cautious about usage of DeepSeek.
