I played the daily puzzle game, it was quite fun. What word list are you using? It's clearly different from Wordle's.

I built this because I think there's a lack of true realtime (CRDT) synced notes that aren't built on a heavy platform that take up 1GB+ RAM (Totem takes up ~100MB, and is also generally more responsive due to the local-first + ops-log approach).
Another thing I care about is keeping the underlying data portable: Totem is built on Markdown and SQLite as its core formats, so you get the convenience of cloud-based syncing without locking your data into a proprietary format.
I’m still looking for beta users/design partners before the initial launch. You can try it without creating an account here:
https://app.thinktotem.com/sandbox
And the landing page is here:
This is a bit of an unplanned post, so the sandbox template is a bit barebones (empty docs, doesn't feature a properly setup table). Nevertheless, I would love to hear your feedback if you try it out, especially if you use collaborative notes/docs today and have opinions on what they’re missing!
With the proliferation of AI note taking, this advantage purports to have been democratized, but I'm not quite convinced. Since AI summaries are far from infallible, a mistake is bound to sneak in here and there (note that these aren't mere transcripts, but summaries split into sections). The provider may or may not go in and clean up your AI notes afterwards, any mistakes made by AI are effectively disowned in terms of responsibility, and admin will still pressure providers using these note takers as leverage to be able to see more patients than otherwise possible (admins want to see both lower costs and higher patients seen per day).
When you refuse this type of service, you're demanding a higher bar for your notes, but it comes at the cost of a distracted provider (who has grown accustomed to AI note taking, and only has so many hands, so they have to go back to the keyboard every now and then after checking your body).
In summary I think it comes down to how much you care about note quality versus care quality, which is likely different per person. I don't have any allergies, am not on any medications, and generally only go in for routine checkups, so in my case the notes are more or less a bureaucratic requirement that I'm happy to do away with cheaply. For others this may not be the case, and having quality notes may be critical to their care, in which case they should definitely refuse AI scribes.
Of course, none of what I said goes into privacy, which is a significant matter. However, "iPad scribes" which are essentially third party contractors remotely taking care of the notes already exist, so those concerns which arise even without the use of AI are a bit of a different topic.
I'm interested in looking at more commercial products made in Rust, they tend to be far more polished than what I can stumble upon in Github (and are thus a nice showcase of what a bit of polish can do for these frameworks).
What is your app? Is it intended for personal use, or commercial?
Although the goal is to build an efficient all-in-one-workspace, I wouldn't run a company on it just yet. Right now I'm looking for early adopters who don't mind the rough edges and relatively minimal feature set.
You can grab an early build at https://alpha.totemkb.com.
New workspaces will be in a 14-day 'trial' mode, email rohit@totemkb.com if you'd like me to upgrade your workspace free of charge.
Your title makes it seem like it's a direct link to the repo. What does your AI generated intermediary add?
I'm a little bit confused by this. You say it supports 100+ languages, but on the landing page some languages are colored in and the rest are greyed out, and the total number doesn't seem to amount to 100+.
Also, presumably the local model doesn't cost you anything per token. So why isn't that one the free tier, with the cloud model being in the paid plan? Wouldn't that help you get a lot more users cost-efficiently?
Lastly, your landing page has a lot of "AI hallmarks". This may or may not be a bad thing, but at least on here I imagine many people are fatigued from this pattern.
I'm all for apps that don't use Electron. What did you use for this?
I gave the ducks just two coats of varnish, not three as we usually do!
