no, but there's no guarantee that it won't, just like any instructions.

Yes. I found this quickly after wrapping codex in a launcher that uses bubblewrap to exclude certain files and directories based on a config file at the project root. My best solution so far is to also include instructions for the agent

Thanks! I've found that the folks that need it REALLY need it.

I'm continuing to work on ChatKeeper, a desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) that turns official ChatGPT exports into local Markdown and image files for use in Obsidian or other local PKM tools. One thing that sets it apart from the (ma

Very nice. I did something in a similar spirit eons ago for capturing CLI tool output directly into my docbook-based documentation. In my case it was also part of a build, generating intermediate .xml prior to running the docbook build. Anc

Hi, blog author here. Didn't expect to see it on HN (but note to self: write titles that HN won't mangle...) I usually do look for feedback if I'm not just writing a library for myself. Often pretty early on re: concept, na

I spent a long time caring about JVM startup time and CLI suitability (and wrote nailgun [0] over 20 years ago and jsap [1] shortly after specifically because of it), so it's pretty wild to see how far things have come. Modern JVM sta

Yep, you're not the only one, and I want to add support for more formats/LLMs. Right now ChatKeeper's internals are very ChatGPT-specific, but I have a plan to change that and Claude (which I also use frequently) will be the

https://martiansoftware.com/chatkeeper/ I built ChatKeeper because I wanted to treat my ChatGPT history like a local knowledge base, with local-first access to my data. It’s a command-line tool (GUI in progress) that t

That's completely reasonable. Honestly, ChatKeeper hasn't been around long enough for that to come up yet. My intention was to keep it priced so that's not an issue, but perhaps I did not succeed there. I will seriously con

I made something called ChatKeeper to deal with exactly this. It syncs your entire ChatGPT history to local markdown files so you can organize, rename, or integrate them with other work however you like. I use it to keep my conversations a

Do you mean internal links within the page, or within your vault? I can't say I've relied on either in a pdf export, but I would expect the former to work and the latter to fail. I suppose links to other notes in your vault coul

First the one, then the other. :) It used LiveConnect[0] to talk to the UI-less java applet[1] hosting the web server. It was a weird (and therefore kind of fun!) combination. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI#Liv

Very nice. It reminds me of a similar all-in-browser file transfer tool I built ages ago called nearshare. This was WAY before webrtc was a thing so my approach was to actually run a web server in the browser via a java applet. :) https:

It's not marketed as a markdown-to-pdf tool, but I've found that Obsidian ( https://obsidian.md ) does an excellent job. Just create a new "vault", paste your markdown into a new note, and export to PDF.

Some internal refactoring of ChatKeeper[1] to support a gui in addition to its cli. I could do this very quickly by just building a form that accepts all of its options but the point of the gui is to make it nicer to use for less technical

Good summary. I've landed on all of the above with my own projects, from a mix of experience, reading, and reason. Hardest for me has been making time between family, work, and other activities that are important for me. Unlike when

I was there and remember it well. The whole thing was completely unexpected and people lost it. Well done. :)

That might be true for most and is a reasonable way of looking at it. But if someone is going on a 10,000km trip and trying to choose between modes of travel, the mode with the fewest incidents per mile will be the safest way.

That's a nice writeup. Given the hot/cold difference you observe, I'd be very curious to see how builds compare when using maven daemon or gradle daemon. I am not very familiar with those myself, simply aware of them. [1] h
