New Way to Fund Solo-Founders?

Open WebUI[1] for a ChatGPT type experience locally hosted. Very impressive set of features and development velocity - so much so Qwen team using it now rather than building their own [2]

I quite like VoiceInk, an open-source voice input app for Mac https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk

Best thing I've found recently is nushell[0], paired with jc [1] it's pretty much the best shell I've ever used.

What’s better about the nushell? I tried it a couple of years ago but didn’t enjoy using it — probably because I primarily use bash and nushell seems quite different from it.

Would appreciate if you could share some examples from your workflow!

account-5 · 18d ago

I have a feeling you'll not appreciate my answer considering your current workflow.

I don't mind bash and the various cli programs I used to use for the tasks I was doing at the cli. However I was forced years ago to learn powershell. Now syntax aside I was able to use powershells native functionality to do things I'd have to call other programs for, read and process CSV, JSON, XML, etc. Nushell is like powershell but a much better syntax and I prefer the data model and love the output.

My main workflows consist of exploring data, cleaning it, and outputting what I need. Nushell has this covered.

adityamwagh · 15d ago

Oh I see. Makes sense for your use case. Especially since you’ve been using powershell since a long time.

Serious LLM vibes from the docs. Many paragraphs are repeated and pages amd pages of filler words like telling what you're going to learn over and over.

account-5 · 18d ago

I actually like the docs, never really noticed an llm vibe... I most just search and look at the examples though.

I really liked bropages, but it is defunct

I think tldr is similar though

For me it was the open source e-ink display TRMNL[2] which I learned about via ATP and Snazzy labs[1].

Now that I have an actually useful 3d printer, I really have gotten into FreeCad. Hopefully in a few more months I'll grok it well enough to gork/rewrite the gear generator tool kit. The rack generator, for example has no notion of where the pitch line is. This makes proper designs with mating gears a matter of trial and error.
