Completely rewired how I view language, consciousness, and matter.

I made an app that lets you build one-off desktop utilities: https://viberunner.me

Ultimately I think it’s too open ended. Users got overwhelmed with a chat interface and couldn’t think of something useful to build on the spot.
Maybe a slow burn approach works best.

Is this the first time we can say “iPhone has had this feature for years”? :)
It’s quite excellent btw. Almost magical. There is a “Studio Lighting” preset that truly does give you a studio lighting like aura, and lights up the foreground while darkening the background.
You can kind of still see the artifacts of the AI processing as the subject moves, but it’s not too discernible.
Here’s a video I recorded using this feature: https://youtu.be/HqS5r18xRP0
Oh, and it works flawlessly on wifi too so you don’t even have to be plugged in!

Here was my reply, but of course a nuanced refutation doesn't get as much attention as an agitative tirade :) There's definitely truth to the fact that our self-hosted setup requires a lot of Docker containers and thus resources, but things like "your notes are not yours anymore" and "proprietary solutions for everything" are very much egregiously exaggerated for effect. A nuanced, honest take wouldn't be homepage worthy, and OP's awareness of this is evident by their excellent headline writing :)

I will say that attempting to experiment with self-hosted economics has always been a dangerous undertaking, but I believe the current state wasn't viable and made it so that avoiding prioritizing self-hosting UX was more economically lucrative than making self-hosting as great as it can be. And the latter is something I'd love to focus on more. Some more thoughts here: https://standardnotes.com/blog/making-self-hosting-easy-for-...

For me, it’s for the love of the game. I like being productive and being challenged more than I like being indolent.
I imagine pro athletes might feel the same way. You have to enjoy playing the game for its own sake. The joy of a championship only lasts a few days.
