HTML support felt bolted on. Terminal plugins were slow and brittle. Continuously indexing a changing note library was surprisingly difficult.

Eventually I realized the issue wasn’t missing plugins. The assumptions were different.

Obsidian was designed around humans manually writing, organizing, and reading notes.

I had already gotten used to harnessing Claude Code. There was no going back.

Recently a friend shared this project exploring the same direction: [StashBase](https://github.com/liliu-z/stashbase)

It feels closer to VS Code than a traditional note app.

I've been testing it on a few specific workflows.

Found it actually performs well for data analysis and running automated checks (cron-style tasks). Because the reasoning layer seems reliable so far, I've hooked it up to a simulation account (paper trading) to backtest the execution in real-time.

It’s good enough to monitor the market, but I’m keeping it sandboxed until I see consistent behavior over a longer timeframe.

OP here.

I asked Reddit to give me a weird game idea to test my "vibe coding" workflow. They voted for a "Diddy shooting baby lotion bottles" space invader clone.

The interesting takeaway: The actual development took about 30 minutes using my agent. However, agonizing over which celebrities to target and hunting down memes took ~2hr.

It feels like the bottleneck has completely shifted from "how do I implement this" to "what assets do I need".

Ask HN: How to Differentiate a General Agent from Manus?

Posted by bingwu1995 on Friday November 28, 2025 @11:29AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm building a General Purpose Agent in the B2C space. The benchmark is Manus (autonomously execute complex, multi-step tasks over time).I'm currently stuck in a strategic loop:1. The Clone Trap: If I just build another "Chat + Tools" interface, I have no moat. Minor UI tweaks won't save a startup against a category leader.2. The Hammer Trap: On the other hand, trying to differentiate often...

Ask HN: How to boost Gemini transcription accuracy for company names?

Posted by bingwu1995 on Monday October 20, 2025 @12:41AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I’m using Gemini for speech-to-text and it often misrecognizes company names and acronyms.Is there any way to use a custom lexicon or vocabulary with Gemini to improve recognition accuracy? If not directly supported, what are practical workarounds people use — e.g. preprocessing prompts, fine-tuning, or combining Gemini with another ASR that supports phrase boosting?

Ask HN: Is manually discovering and configuring MCP servers the only way?

Posted by bingwu1995 on Friday August 01, 2025 @08:48AM
from the ask-hn dept.

After reading this paper on autonomous tool invocation (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.01056), I'm wondering if others share my frustration with the current MCP (Model Context Protocol) workflow. My typical process for adding a new capability to my agent:1) Search for MCP servers that might have the functionality I need 2) Read through documentation to verify it actually does what I want 3) Install...

It really depends on your personal status, diet, and lifestyle. A random suggestion wouldn't be very helpful.

That's actually the exact reason I built my website. It's a quick AI tool that asks you the right questions and creates a personalized plan.
