My personal bugbear is the network coverage. Context: London / UK (EE). Yes, I have 5G at home, but it's just one bar and sometimes even this one bar will disappear. Yes, there is 5G/4G all around the city, but you can't hold an uninterrupted conversation over FaceTime Audio while on the overground train or driving. I'll not even discuss the underground. However, uninterrupted, low-latency, average bandwidth is a hard market and even harder to design.

CRDT at the very low level is an append only operations log with snapshots. This can be easily stored in a file. The trick is to solve merging with another version you just got from a friend. But then operations are idempotent and appending two operation logs with idempotent operations is simple.

Yes, ideally OS would provide a container that it natively merges, but meanwhile nothing prevents apps from storing their data in say sqlite based append only logs and when needing to solve conflict/import/merge just append new operations.

Exactly, htmx is such a pleasure to work with
Thanks for confirming.

Regarding tutorials; Good news - 1.4.1 release should be available in the App Store and it comes with the fix for tutorials duplicates. From now on each tutorial document have a hardcoded UUID, so when they get generated on multiple devices they still get merged into one single Document. CRDT is beautiful.

Bad news - existing users need to remove old tutorials for the fix to work. Matching old and new tutorials based on title only could cause problems for some users. Sorry.

I've learned more about the Unicode - Unicode grapheme clusters are fascinating.

So, the Hindi bug has been fixed - when you have a chance - please give the 1.4.0 release a spin.

thx - on it
I still remember Piotr Wozniak's strong opinions about using ML for spacing prediction. But indeed market moves and even now SM is doing research in AI (again) https://www.supermemo.com/en/blog/ai-in-supermemo

CR-SQLITE is awesome. In my dream parallel universe OS would natively support: - file - folder - pipe - op-log and provide primitives to merge op-logs (remove duplicate entries).

Maybe CR-SQLITE could be a gateway, but it feels a bit too high level. E.g. you can't just concatenate two op-logs and leave deduplicate to something else (I might be missing something)

Android version is a roadmap candidate. Baby steps ;)

Currently it's GPT-4 Turbo under the hood, so should be enough for the use case
It did feel like a Eureka moment :)
I agree; hence, the generated cards are starting with lower score. While the typed ones are awarded a higher score.
Noted. Bumping in the backlog. Culprit is prioritisation of the app over the website. The single dev dilemma...
Thank you. I'll keep polishing the UX :)

Show HN: Flash Notes – Flashcards for Your Notes, LLM, iOS/macOS Sync

https://www.flashnotesapp.com

The app started as my wishful thinking that flashcards should really be derived from notes. I've been constantly writing things down and wishing to remember them. However, I never could convince myself to populate a flashcard app with them. I really tried (Anki, Supermemo), but I guess regular form filling is not for me.So I've started experimenting with flashcards derived from structured...
