By the way, i checked your project "TermonMac", it's interesting, why not build one for Linux, right?

No, this is similar to "AnythingLLM", and i'll tell you why, this could work.

AnythingLLM requires about 2GB of RAM, just to be idle, and in the RAM Crisis, that this world is in today. i want to bring better optimization.

And, AnythingLLM utilizes a "UI-first, Logic-second" approach. Meanwhile, to combat this, i'm using a "Logic-first, UI-second" approach.

Not to mention, A system like AnythingLLM isn't easy to work on lower-end computers, and I for one, do not like that, because, i'm using a low-end computer to work on this.
