I use "Note Everything" on my Android phone. I found is uses a SQLite db for storing its info. Might try this for extracting the contents if I ever want to move to Apple phone.
Just tried it. I have Note Everything save to Google Drive. Extracted that zip file, read it here, saved the text notes as csv, looked at it in txtedit. Great!!!!
Could write a gawk program to recreate the notes in directories.

The point of art is not necessarily to look pretty, sometimes is to raise questions or challenge assumptions, to evoke emotions - make you feel disgusted, angry, befuddled.
Some modern "artists" take it to the extremely provocative form, a lot of what gets mocked as lazy conceptual art is lazy not because it's offensive but because the idea could be stated in one sentence and the object adds nothing to it.
I suppose we're witnessing a new form of lazy, lame art - concepti-slop "art of coding". Which could often be described in one sentence:

> loaded into the working model — the original file is untouched and will stay that way
Commentary text like this, once described here on HN as essentially the chat context leaking into the application, is absolute anathema to me. Something about it makes me irrationally annoyed and immediately not want to use the software.
I think, to me, it signals the pinnacle of vibe-coding in the sense that I can't imagine that the output was looked at closely and the copy still remained. When my own agents try to write stuff like that, I remove it immediately.

It’s very annoying. Claude specifically will tend to treat minor clarifying details in a prompt as major features.
I’ve also noticed it likes to spam a UI with explanatory text for every control. Almost like it wants to do tooltips, but doesn’t understand the exact UI for them.

I wonder if this is caused by so much of the training data is the web, where millions of articles were written to hit some word count. It's just following what it was trained on.

I've used a Firefox extension which purpose was SQLite viewing/editing. I guess it's half "runs in the browser" and half "it still needs to be installed".

I know a lot of folks would argue it is a poor indicator, but more often than not I've been right on so many occasions because of the heavy usage of 'em dashes

Language models are trained to use "honest", "genuine", and "hand-written" - because they are known to confidently lie to your face. "Why would I deceive you?"
Another thing that irks me is they've started using "I", "me", and "my" - an attempt to prey on the psychological projection of its users, to create a fake emotional connection with a thinking subject.

Firefox has "File | Work Offline" but it would be nice if a site could invoke this after its assets were loaded, with a clear indication in the browser chrome.
It would make it much easier to trust these offline sites.
Just tried it. I have Note Everything save to Google Drive. Extracted that zip file, read it here, saved the text notes as csv, looked at it in txtedit. Great!!!!

Since it stores to sqldb I could probably sync the db to a webserver and build a web frontend for presentation.

Like I said, maybe irrational.

It always reads to me like some high school essay where the student has nothing more to say but a wordcount requirement they still need to hit.
I doubt this
