Re:Show HN: DripLit – Your Inbox is for books, too on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @12:33PM (#48923379)
I read a pretty crazy number of books every year, and I think this is great. A lot of people who are out of the habit of reading seem to feel overwhelmed when facing an entire book, but surely this feels doable for just about anyone. Maybe it could get them back in the habit of reading and create a snowball effect that gets them reading more.
This is delightful.
This is surprisingly fun.

Show HN: OMT – A simple Python CLI for testing local Ollama models
