Re:Native all the way, until you need text on Sunday May 17, 2026 @09:38PM (#48174793)
I've been working on a MarkdownView library for iOS based on tree sitter: https://github.com/HumanInterfaceDesign/MarkdownView

Like the OP mentioned, it's still surprisingly difficult to build what feels like a trivial interface using SwiftUI. Once you get into rich text, selection, streaming updates, syntax highlighting, diffing, or just smooth scrolling, you very quickly end up fighting the framework instead of building the app

Re:Snapchat open-sources Valdi a cross-platform UI framework on Friday November 07, 2025 @09:58PM (#45853726)
I wish the native iOS part was written in Swift rather than Objective-C like RN.
Congrats on the launch, love the web first re-design. Excited to try it out!
Does this use the the mimi codec by moshi? If so it would be straighforward to get Dia running on iOS!

Cool idea. iPhone would be great too! & Function calling tools.

Congrats on the launch!

This kinda reminds me of Expo snacks (https://snack.expo.dev/), but with a chat.

Congrats, really cool idea! You should add the demo video to your website in addition to the interactive version.

Makes sense!

Isn't there a clause in MIT that says you're required to give credit? Also, I didn't know a YC company which started it: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ollama.
Re:Questions censored by DeepSeek on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @05:44PM (#42859111)
Looks like a service called OpenRouter (https://openrouter.ai).

- 'openrouter:deepseek/deepseek-r1'

Deepseek blowing up like this really showed how tired everyone was with the AI founders acting like they’re saving the world.

It's pretty subtle, but hard to unsee after using it a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, so cool!
The demo was intuitive, congrats on the launch! Can I ask what you used to build the canvas UI?

Re:Show HN: We built a GPT that connects to your money on Thursday April 25, 2024 @04:00PM (#40162285)
Thanks for the suggestion! That's a good idea & something we'll think about more.

Show HN: We built a GPT that connects to your money

https://candle.fi/gpt

Hey HN,OpenAI announced their GPT Store a few months ago during their dev day. It captured our imagination and got us wondering:What if ChatGPT could manage my money?We're thrilled to share a public preview of what's possible today. It's a simple idea. You can ask your money questions or run actions all through ChatGPT.Demo: https://youtu.be/zoEiIOPR7gE?si=JrqYoE7eLLqn5hrh&t=63Web...

Re:We Have to Start Over: From Atom to Zed on Saturday February 17, 2024 @10:47AM (#39410507)
Part of me thinks it could be related to our project using CocoaPods. I've always appreciated how nicely Gradle worked to install dependencies, and the DX always lacked in Xcode. SPM works similarly, but I have yet to try it on a medium-sized codebase. So, my frustration could be related to CocoaPods.

Apart from package managers, I like the auto-import features for frameworks in Android Studio. As well as the "fix it" UX, which is similar to VSCodes. Having an integrated terminal is something Xcode still lacks, and maybe a better UX than a Plist to configure projects; I know XcodeGen/Tuist and other tools exist, but something built-in would be nice for fast project config.

Re:We Have to Start Over: From Atom to Zed on Saturday February 17, 2024 @08:36AM (#39409275)
I tried Zed, and it felt similar to VSCode. I know there are multiplayer features that are better than live share, but on the surface, I needed convincing to switch.

I would be more inclined to use Zed if it could displace XCode. It pains me to use it from deleting derived data or cleaning the build folder to random crashes.

Contrasting the DX to Android Studio, it's night and day. I always wanted an Android studio-like experience for iOS development.

Re:Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs? on Wednesday February 07, 2024 @11:45PM (#39298288)
I appreciate the feedback; I'm working on adding an about page!

We have an /updates page & blog, as well as links to GitHub. I figured finding out more about myself and my co-founder was pretty easy.

Re:Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs? on Monday February 05, 2024 @06:57PM (#39268897)
We've been deploying changes all day so could related, thanks for the report. Should work now.
Re:Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs? on Monday February 05, 2024 @05:55PM (#39268360)
We're building a GPT for managing your finances.

https://candle.fi/gpt

Our backend stack: - AWS - SST - TypeScript

Our clients:

- Next (web) - Vanilla React Native (mobile)

OpenAI's App Store announcement is what got us interested in building w/ LLMs.

Re:Perplexity Labs Playground on Tuesday December 19, 2023 @02:56PM (#38700651)
Feature request for the online model.

It would be great get a sources array in the response. This would make the API stand out compared to others and allow product teams to add AI w/o being afraid of hallucinations.
