slalani304··on Urban Dictionary for Tech Bros
Started this a few days ago, so not much activity on it just yet.
slalani304··on Surfer: Open-Source Personal Data Warehouse
Agreed, working on adding all of these

slalani304··on Surfer: Open-Source Personal Data Warehouse
Haven't seen anything personally that's as intuitive / easy to use as this one, but I'm biased
slalani304··on Surfer: Open-Source Personal Data Warehouse
I'm not on Linux but if others want to contribute / are very interested we can definitely make that happen!
slalani304··on Surfer: Open-Source Personal Data Warehouse
Have not heard of that, but is it similar to the Solid project / other personal data warehouse projects?
slalani304··on Surfer: Open-Source Personal Data Warehouse
This hasn't happened for any of my accounts and I've been working on this for the last few months.
slalani304··on Model Context Protocol
Building something for this at surferprotocol [dot] org. Imo not every company will expose API's for easily exporting data from their platforms (linkedin, imessage, etc), so devs have to build these themselves
slalani304··on Model Context Protocol
Super cool and much needed open-standard. Wondering how this will work for websites/platforms that don't have exposed API's (LinkedIn, for example)
slalani304··on Surfer: Centralize all your personal data from online platforms
Hey, would love to see a visualization of this / how you made it :)
slalani304··on Surfer: Centralize all your personal data from online platforms
agreed. curious to hear what other sites/apps you would want to be able to export your data from.
slalani304··on Surfer: Centralize all your personal data from online platforms
thanks for the feedback, added the list of supported platforms and example of exported data as well to the readme. we're focusing mostly on the exporting part, so examples of what can be done with the data will come later.

3rd party would only have read access, I'm assuming? Also would love to try out the extension.

The second one sounds something similar to the Solid project, which is what Tim Berners-Lee is currently working on: https://solidproject.org/.
slalani304··on Surfer: Centralize all your personal data from online platforms
Yeah it was honestly more of a marketing statement lol, but removing it for sure. Adding daily/interval exporting is one of our top priorities right now and after that and making the scraping more reliable, we'll add something similar to GraphRAG. Curious to hear what other integrations you would want built into this system.
slalani304··on Surfer: Centralize all your personal data from online platforms
Oh, interesting will look more into this.

hey, sahil here. i'm one of the contributors on surfer and have been working on this project for around three weeks now. we appreciate the feedback and are excited to keep pushing this project forward with your input!
slalani304··on Show HN: I made a Mac app to search my images and videos locally with ML
Oh ok, makes sense. I'll look more into FFmpeg, thanks.

Are the images being compressed losslessly or they lose quality? I've played around with image compression in Electron JS and haven't found a good solution, so any resources are greatly appreciated.
