This looks very similar to https://github.com/wheresryan22/anatomy which popularized a very similar style of figure a few weeks ago. You can also quickly make similar diagrams with sites like https://diagrams.ink (disclaimer: affiliated) or https://three.ws/anatomy

What are people actually using these hosted search providers for? For personal use I've found using searxng-ai-kit [1] (disclaimer: I'm the author) or similar tools to be far more cost effective (free!). oh-my-pi uses a similar method and will scrape search results for you out of the box, no api key or search provider needed.

I built something similar ([1]) that you might find interesting. Similar to your project, but with the fun tweak that it bundles searxng inside itself, so you don't need to run or find a searxng instance to use it.

If you like the man page aesthetic, using pandoc with groff is the most readable way to read markdown on the terminal I've found:
mdless() {
if command -v pandoc >/dev/null; then
if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
cat | pandoc -s -f markdown -t man | groff -T utf8 -man | less
else
pandoc -s -f markdown -t man "$*" | groff -T utf8 -man | less
fi
else
less "$@"
fi

For a similar but lighter weight (and less isolated) tool that uses the OS's sandboxing functionality (bubblewrap on linux, Seatbelt/sandbox-exec on macos) or docker check out cco [1] (note: I built it). It's primarily useful now because it can also sandbox other agents like opencode or codex since Anthropic has added native sandboxing functionality to Claude Code itself now. Their sandbox works similarly, also using bubblewrap and seatbelt, and can be accessed via the /sandbox slash command inside Claude Code [2].

Good call, added a link.
Linear is great, it's what JIRA should've been. Basically task management for people who don't want to deal with task management. It's also full featured, fast (they were famously one of the earlier apps to use a local-first sync-engine style architecture), and keyboard-centric.
Definitely suitable for hobby projects, but can also scale to large teams and massive codebases.

You might like linear-beads[1] better. It's a simpler and less invasive version of beads I made to solve some of the unusual design choices. It can also (optionally) use linear as the storage backend for the agent's tasks, which has the excellent side effect that you as a human can actually see what the agent is working on and direct the agent from within linear.
Despite it's quirks I think beads is going to go down as one of the first pieces of software that got some adoption where the end user is an agent

I made a similar thing not long ago that lets you choose between docker, seatbelt (macOS's native sandboxing) and bubblewrap (on Linux).
I use it on macOS primarily, and have basically stopped using docker mode in favor of the native sandboxing because features like image pasting Just Work™.

there's also http://llmprices.dev. similar, but with a searchbox for quick filtering
