Looks very very interesting. For my immediate use-case to simulate a real-world 3D space, would it work with exact dimensions? Like can I give it exact dimensions and then can it render it truthfully? For example, I want to say I have walls of 8ftx5ft, and I have N paintings of so-and-so specific sizes (I have the exact sizes), is it able to use the dimensions exactly?

Hmm, interesting. Are you speaking from experience for Haskell? I'm a Haskell developer since 2017, and have been using LLMs to write code (including Haskell) since 2024. In my experience, LLMs perform much better generating Haskell/Rust code over Python/Javascript.

If the author of the article is here, do try out org-mode. That is exactly what you need. It is designed to be a simple text file format, but tooling on top of it (simple editor plugins, mostly in emacs, but there are equivalent plugins in vim/neovim; I'm sure there must be something in today's kool-aid VSCode editors) make it so so much more powerful.

Org-mode has TODOs, Agendas, tables, nested/collapsible headings, mind-maps etc. You can also generate richly formatted PDFs/HTML/DOC files as well.

This comment has some good insights. Actually a lot of "business" software were like that in the 90s and early 00s. They were optimized for productivity of the user and not necessarily aesthetics of appearance or ease of use (well, trade-off). Even old version of excel etc. were designed like that. Unfortunately modern web software has such high importance on making it eye-candy.

Maybe the commenter was just being sarcastic. But I agree it's hard to tell.

I'm a programmer and geek myself, and heck, even toyed with the idea of having open-source alternative to GSuite. But reading the title I too thought it's an alternative to Google search. Reading your first para cleared it up though. Just a heads up.
