Re:Launch HN: Onyx (YC W24) – The open-source chat UI by throw4039 on Tuesday November 25, 2025 @07:44PM (#46052745)
Looks awesome! I'm really trying to switch off Open WebUI due to its general slowness and bugginess, as well as documentation which is almost entirely slop.

However it doesn't seem to have MinerU as a supported backend, which is hands-down the best PDF extraction tool I've ever used (and is self-hostable on a machine with a modest GPU). Could it be added?

Great suggestion! I haven't heard of it before, but I'll definitely add it to the list.

Would love to hear your feedback after you get a chance to try Onyx out.
