What is Suna?

I've got a ton of analog[0] cards sitting in my office crying out for me to do something like this.

> Honestly, you're the first person who hasn't recoiled in horror when I explained it.

This surprises me, I feel like I see so many people talking about plain text notes !

It's INCREDIBLY infuriating to me that it is.

This is what my wife and I used this year and it was a great experience!

> So... by "manage projects" you mean all the metadata related to tasks, bugs, todos, features, deadlines and milestones?

Yeah this is what I mean.

> To be honest, I just save all that stuff in text files in the same repo as the code (though usually in a specific directory at the root of the project.) I have some tools that pull meta-data out of text files so I can query them for things like "give me a list of open items" or "give me a list of items tagged with a specific release target."

I love the idea of managing stuff in plain text, will have to try something like this out. Do you have the code up anywhere?

I'm a former academic researcher (in linguistics) turned self-taught software engineer who'd like to transition into professional software development. I'm experienced across the stack using Javascript/TypeScript, Python, and SQL with platforms like Cloudflare and Val Town. Background in AI integration, including LLM tooling (MCP server, OpenAI API), and a research-driven approach from my Ph.D. in linguistics.

Thinking of putting together web app that uses an LLM for conversion of a resume to json resume

I removed the original config and ran the following:

  19:28:36 ~ $ npx -y mcpgod --version
  mcpgod/0.0.2 darwin-arm64 node-v23.9.0

  19:28:47 ~ $ npx -y mcpgod add @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything --client 
  claude --tools=echo,add

Same error and log occured

This is nice! I was thinking of writing something like this myself. One thing I ran into though is that Claude Desktop can't connect to the server-everything with the command you listed. This is in the server logs:

  2025-03-11T16:29:00.168Z [@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything] [info] Client transport closed
   ›   Error: Nonexistent flag: --tools echo,add
   ›   See more help with --help

  USAGE
    $ god run [-t <value>]

  FLAGS
    -t, --tools=<value>  Comma separated list of approved tools

Also, there's no logs for ~/mcpgod for me (that folder doesn't even exist)

I'd love to know if there's a Chicago meetup happening!

Would love to see the code for this! Do you have it available?

Huh, I've never had to kill it!

> Once you have the OpenAPI specs, you can build an MCP server on top of that. Automatically.

What's the route to doing this automatically? Is there some tool for doing this?

> But it will never be more than a hobby so I am not going to pay a recurring fee for the privilege

This is what has really stopped me from learning iOS development.

> I've built some of my home automation from scratch and I'm using a web app to control most of it from my phone. Do you have anything available/written up about this?

I second Ice - it's great

This one is very cool

I've recently switched from Amethyst to Aerospace and am really liking it

Off topic, but what is this made with a specific component library?

re: Starting the project - just finding the time and motivation to do it!

re: Problems with flex - the issues are laid out really well in a recently paper! Here's a bluesky thread from one of the coauthors with a link to the pdf: https://bsky.app/profile/amaliaskilton.bsky.social/post/3lgq...

There is mention of Section 174, last paragraph before the "Comparison with other industries" heading.

I have a PhD in linguistics and have always been baffled by the lack of quality software for the types of data annotation workflows that linguists who do elicitation work with native speakers need to do. There's FLEx [0], but it's windows only and really not very good.

I'd love to build a modern, cross-platform replacement for FLEx. I just need to actually do it.

Reframe is really neat. Is the source out there?

Nice! I'll check out this demo in the morning

Love this! Would also really like to see it used in a full example though

This is really cool! I love the AI touch. Is the code open source?

Does this support serverless environments like cloudflare workers and val town[0]?

Fair enough! I really like the interface. Well done!

This is immediately what I thought of too. I wish the notes would stack like in Andy's site

Also really interested in this
