samlhuillier··on Banana Form: Typeform clone that let's you design forms with AI
The output is literally a link, like typeform. And that link will render the design you've customized within the app
samlhuillier··on You are what you read, even if you don't always remember it
I like to think of this like fine-tuning LLMs. When you fine-tune an LLM it doesn't pick up and memorise all of the training data. Rather it adjusts its weights/perspectives based on the content trained on/read.

Just markdown right now, plain text is coming

Not yet!

No catch pal

Thank you!

Interesting. Thanks for sharing will take a look!

Thanks for your feedback!

- Multiple vaults is in fact in a PR right now: https://github.com/reorproject/reor/pull/28

- Manual linking is coming.

- Minimizing the UI to chat is interesting. Right now I guess you can drag chat to cover anything - but yes perhaps a toggle between two modes could be interesting.

- Read other formats also something in the pipeline. Just need to sort out the editor itself to support something like this. Perhaps pdfs would just be embedded into the vector db but not accessible to the editor.

- Integrating with browser history and bookmarks is a big feature. Things like web clipping and bringing in context from different places are interesting...

Absolutely! Really respect the work you folks are doing.
samlhuillier··on Show HN: Reor – An AI note-taking app that runs models locally
Yes unfortunately not implemented yet. Will be coming soon though :)

Thank you for your feedback!

Working hard on improving the chunking to improve related notes section. RAG is fairly naive right now, with lots of improvements coming in the next few weeks.

Two reasons:

1. The libraries I used to run models locally didn't work inside a plugin.

2. I believe AI is a fairly big paradigm shift that requires new software.

It's filesystem mapping 1:1. Basically the same thing Obsidian does when you open a vault. You can create new files with Reor, create directories and edit existing files. Chunking happens only in vector DB and everything is synced automatically so you shouldn't notice anything if you reopen Reor after using Obsidian.

In short, yes it'd work seamlessly if you wanted to use it occasionally.

I agree with this.

In some cases, hard thinking and searching for things manually can really enhance understanding and build your knowledge.

In other cases, particularly when ideating for example, you want to be given "inspiration" from other related ideas to build upon other ideas you've had previously.

I think it's a mix of both - reaching for AI as and when when you need it - but avoiding it intentionally at times as well.

If you can convert your One Note notes to markdown files then yes. On startup, you'll be asked to choose your vault directory - which needs to be a directory full of markdown files.

Absolutely! Would love your help.
samlhuillier··on Sorry, but a new prompt for GPT-4 is not a paper
Times are changing. Human researchers will dedicate more and more time towards getting language models to work in desired ways rather than doing the research themselves. Language models will largely be the ones making "research" discoveries. Both should be considered valid research IMO.
