connollystr··on Ask HN: Are people optimistic about the future?
I think it’ll be the same. There will be new aspects in life to bring joy, and misery in counterparts.

Idea: lightweight & high performance remote desktop that connects easy-to-carry apple devices (macbook air/neo or ipad) to mac mini.

I use Splashtop for WFH and apple vnc at work for servers and they are so slow

Thank you for asking. No I'm not considering it as of now. I'm dogfooding and found it quite useful, so first wanted to reach out to others and see if anyone else finds it useful too.

I'm working on Helene (https://helene-ai.com), a personal memory layer for AI chats, stored in your Drive.

I chat and work with AI a lot, across multiple clients and devices, and copy-pasting context between sessions was painful (especially between desktop and mobile). I also wanted past conversations to compound into something useful, like a hassle-free automated diary. So I built Helene.

Helene captures conversations with AI and weaves them into documents. Data stays on your own Google Drive. Works across Claude, ChatGPT, desktop, and mobile.

I hope there's someone to find this useful.
