   Ask HN: Are there any companies doing good work in this space? I'm looking for a new gig and have been shocked at how few companies seem to understand the types of solutions that stand a chance at making a difference re: these sorts of

   This would be a cool metric to use in various analyses. It's a number that's guaranteed to be shrinking fast in today's world and I'd bet there's a quality-of-life benefit to be had by trying to optimize for growing

   Agree. The AI stuff is pure novelty, I’m skeptical it’s going to be truly adopted in its current form in any substantial way.

   I’m with you on this, especially when people don’t realize that plugging GPT into some arbitrary product isn’t an original idea. It’s a bit cringe.

   Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for all the feedback. I'm slowly working my way through everything and finding it all extremely helpful. I'll make sure to document the changes that have been made in response to this d

   Definitely hoping to get more materials up soon! Sorry it's barebones for the moment, we have a lot to do!

   Planning on adding more here! What formats do you prefer?

   It's currently online only, but only because we haven't gotten that far yet, definitely want to make a native app that's fully local.

    Glad to hear it! And thank you for the feedback. Mobile is a whole can of worms I have no idea how I'm going to tackle yet, but it's certainly part of the plan. As for the "for free" part, that's funny, because I ha

    This is super helpful to hear, thank you! I'm like you, I like using products that feel like they've been built by people rather than faceless companies, so I felt like this would be good to share.

    I was too! I hope the way we've done it solves the problem!

    Thanks for this! To answer the question, Lunette would ideally be a combination of local and cloud and be available via web and native app. One product I tried that did this was Roam Research ( https://roamresearch.com/ ), bu

    If I'm being perfectly honest, it never even occurred to me to consider the open source route. I'm not opposed to open source at all--I've done in the past--but one issue could be that I might loose the ability to be highly o

    This is cool! I think my favorite part about doing this Show HN is all the interesting products I'm discovering, and seeing all the different ways people approach this space and this problem.

    Interesting, I never came across this one in my search. I'm gonna give it a try, I'm curious to see how it compares. I did try out a couple other editors that leaned on markdown though with mixed results. One thing that stands out

    Apologies, I've sort of been struggling with how to present the concept clearly and concisely. Here's an overview of where the idea came from: https://lunette.app/about Basically, my wife and I both write, and we

    Unrelated to the discussion, just wanted to comment on Backstage's tagline: “Build an ecosystem, not a wilderness" which is ironic because a wilderness is arguably the most complete and perfectly functioning ecosystem you're

    At first I thought we were building things with "bricked" iphones.

    The physical world is headed in the same direction as the internet. In 20 years, the built environment is going to be entirely comprised of identical materials and trademarked by a tiny handful of monopoly companies.

    It seems like some people on here are into the idea and would use it. That's cool, but for me personally, I'm amazed that anyone is still into this kind of thing in 2022.

    I learned about https://www.are.na/ at a meetup a couple years ago. IMO they're doing a solid job of bringing 1.0 wonder to the 2.0 world.
