Local keyword exclusions (to keep the server requirement minimal) might be pretty high impact.

Something like this is very much needed.

I hope to see more things like this.

What would be really cool is if there was a personalized algorithm (for you page) that stored data and processed locally.

I've used canvas quite a bit since it was release in Obsidian. It's good, not great, but the simplicity of the file type opens up a lot of opportunities to build on top of it.

My only motivation is that it pains me to see smart capable people working on insignificant problems.

Maybe I don't understand the problem as well as I should, and I'm open to hearing what it is you think that I'm missing.

But from my perspective, this is a solution for a non-problem, which in my eyes is a problem itself.

That assumes the AI bots are scraping for training data and not simple retrieval/ RAG (which would likely provide attribution)

I know there are real world problems to deal with, but at least I got one over on that evil open claw instance /s

AI bots must've taken down that link you shared, it won't load :/

And search crawlers/results have been producing snippets that prevent users from clicking to the source for well over a decade.

Edit: it loaded. I don't see how the problem isn't simply solved by an off the shelf solution like cloud flare. In the real world, you wouldn't open up a space/location if you couldn't handle the throughput. Why should online spaces/locations get special treatment?

If bandwidth cost is a concern the maybe you should reconsider how you publish your site.

Like, what if you actually post something that gains traction, is it going to bankrupt you or something?

So if your site is dependent on ads, and since the only way for people to see those ads is coming to your site, then yes, you lose.

If your site exists to share information, then the information gets disseminated, whether via LLM or some browser, it doesn't make a difference to me

Why do this though?

It's like if someone was trying to "trap" search crawlers back in the early 2000s.

Seems counterproductive

Lots of money being made by luring people into this trap.

The reality is that if you actually know what you want, and can communicate it well (where the productivity app can be helpful), then you can do a lot with AI.

My experience is that most people don't actually know what they want. Or they don't understand what goes into what they want. Asking for a plan is a shortcut to gaining that understanding.

Hey Siri, should I use Apple Business?

No, but definitely tired of the "influencer" takes. You would think that this AI thing has been all but figured out, when really, even with the biggest openest claws we are still barely scratching the surface of a new era human-computer interaction

There's going to be a lot of complaints about open-source restricting access.

It's going to keep happening because it just doesn't make sense for a lot of previous business models that supported and open-source project, something that was seen recently with tailwind.

In one of my projects, one that remains source-available, I had encountered an "open-source justice warrior" that made it their mission to smear the project because of the switch, grasping at straws to do everything they could to paint my intentions as malicious.

It's really too bad, and will only hurt the availability of free alternatives if one cannot provide the source under a "just don't commercially compete with the paid version of the product" license without getting branded as a scamming cash grabber

This is the way. Even more so now that LLMs can reliably write simple utilities, the kind of things a dependency would previously frag in hundreds of other utilities (that go unused) all while depending on another dozen dependencies

Great point.

Additionally, driving a small sedan myself, if there is a parking spot (not parallel, normal lot spot) in between two SUVs, there is a good chance that spot is useless, even in my small car.

Just last night, I was parked perfectly (I had to stop and admire my work because what follows), but still had to squeeze out with my door undoubtedly touching the SUV, and it wasn't even a large size SUV.

I really hope waymo takes of and makes it economical to stop owning a car, and reduce the necessity of parking lots

I thought weight would be where the modern wear performed best.

More surprisingly, the footwear of yore was apparently lighter

> If you know clearly what you want

This is the real challenge. The people I know that jump around to new tools have a tough time explaining what they want, and thus how new tool is better than last tool.

Nice work. I scanned through the code and found this file to be an interesting read https://github.com/understudy-ai/understudy/blob/main/packag...

> what's really happening is that big centralized systems are being overrun with bots? The internet existed and was pretty great before these large centralized systems came into being.

This is a great point. Suddenly, I'm looking forward to this

Where can I find some of that optimism in 2026?

I'd like to add, that's "priceless" for "them" and not for you.

I was looking into org-mode after yet another system-collapse trying to manage everything in kanban (trello) + docs.

While it seemed like exactly what I needed, I was turned off by the TUI. So I kept looking and found something that, instead of running in a terminal, was effectively a Chrome browser, enabling all the "luxuries" of modern web apps while living on my local system.

Org-moders were definitely the OGs, but it's 2026 and the TUI novelty nostalgia, recently in full swing thanks to Claude Code, will wear off.

Good to know, thanks!

Front page and "post not found" error when clicking the link. What am I missing?

How'd you get the notice that this was submitted so quickly?

I've been running a campfire chat with a few hundred users for a couple of years now. It's one of my favorite pieces of software simply because I don't spend any time thinking about it.

> how it is helping them

This should be the opening for every post about the various "innovations" in the space.

Preferably with a subsequent line about the manual process that was worth putting the extra effort into prior to the shiny new thing.

I really can imagine a better UX then opening my calendar in one-click and manual scanning.

Another frequent theme is "tell me the weather." One again, Google home (alexa or whatever) handles it while I'm still in bed and let's me go longer without staring at a screen.

The spam use-case is probably the best use-case I've seen, as in it truly saves time for an equal or better result, but that means being cool with being a spammer.

Don't forget about Obsidian
