Luckily GPUI isn't vibe coded at all but a mature and well thought-out project.. /s
Am I the only one who is shocked that such important and security-relevant software just does unorthodox stuff like "well let's just return `*` if it fails" and other kind of "hacks" ?! The developers must know that this is very bad software engineering and will definitely cause issues at _some_ point in time, no?!

I don't understand why this is often portrayed negatively. In general it's important that people can defend their rights, and I find it great that LLMs can help a lot with that. One could introduce page/word/character limits, and note that the other side can use LLMs too to summarize/organize/extract. Overall I think it's great that LLMs now help me to understand and rightfully claim things from insurances, companies, etc.

You could look what this translator does: https://github.com/programasweights/claudish/blob/main/specs...
It would be great to have a little program (or Agent Skill) that could clean up the Claude language in a whole repository.
I absolutely love KOReader on my Boox Go 10.3!
It has super useful features like the semi-auto-cropping which removes margins in PDFs (like papers or books), including unnecessary things like page numbers or similar, so that you can really maximize the size of the core content. It also has a nice chapter overview and other useful things!
Truly one of the best pieces of software I have used so far.

They complain about a startup time of 380ms, but with the default configuration it's only 60ms on my laptop. That's faster than the final startup time of 70ms of their custom config, and it has all the features that they added to their config. So with all the features they need OMZ should be fast enough for them? I don't get it.
