Ask HN: Anyone else longing for fast, keyboard-first internal tools?

I use GPT, Claude, and Discord extensively for work. My company handles bookkeeping and invoicing through online services. My banking is also done via a web app.

My main editor has Vim-like semantics, and I heavily rely on keyboard-driven workflows.

I understand that the web has eaten most business software because of its superior distribution model.

However, I’m curious to know what the broader tech community thinks about this situation.

Are there better models possible? Is anyone working on solutions that combine the reach of the web with the speed, efficiency, and local-first nature of traditional desktop software?
