@sp thanks for this perspective. I think my biggest challenge is that I have to collab with people on Google Docs and Sheets for work and home stuff so I may just have to live with one foot in one world and the other in another.

The Hugging Face Incident is, in a distorted and dangerous way, an illustration of what the AI companies are trying to achieve. They want long-running AI agents to work without human intervention, solving problems and organizing as needed, with our human job limited to giving instructions and evaluate output.

@roelio it’s a local-first bookmark/tab hoarding system. It captures browser tabs from Dia (my daily driver browser) via AppleScript, auto-tags them using k-NN against the corpus of existing bookmarks, and syncs to Raindrop.io.
\nThe core workflow is:
\nCapture - Grab open browser tabs instantly into an “inbox” (SQLite database)
\nProcess - Generate embeddings (all-MiniLM-L6-v2), infer tags from similar bookmarks, optionally refine with Claude Haiku
\nSearch - Semantic or keyword search via a FastAPI server and web UI
\nSync - Push bookmarks to Raindrop.io for mobile access and backup

\n

The primary interfaces are Raycast script commands (keyboard shortcuts for capture, search, tagging) and a simple web UI. The API server can run locally, but I have it running on a remote (in my garage) Mac Mini running Ubuntu and every device is connected over Tailscale.

\n

It’s essentially a personal search engine for everything I’ve bookmarked (or had open in a tab), with automatic categorization so things are findable later.
