What are your experiences of using Kotlin for modern macOS/iOS development? How's the support looking when Apple releases new XCode?
Xcode gives me such a hard time that I started considering writing in Kotlin for macOS, just to have a normal IDE. We used to have AppCode (from JetBrains) and it was great. I wonder why Apple didn't support JetBrains, after all, it would have been to Apple's benefit.
Congrats! I noticed it was initially closed-source and now it's opened, nice! Is it a project funded by HuggingFace? (Not immediately clear to me).
I've built a macOS assistant too (more advanced though), with focus on privacy and easy of use (https://getfluid.app). I'd love to open-source it, but not sure about sustainability of such business model. Right now I'm experimenting with a fully private paid Llama hosting (for GPU poors).
Good luck :)
> Can I give it local content (documents, spreadsheets, code, etc.)
It's coming roughly in December (may be sooner).
Roadmap is following:
- October - private remote AI (when you need smarter AI than your machine can handle, but don't want your data to be logged or stored anywhere)
- November - Web search capabilities (so the AI will be capable of doing websearch out of the box)
- December - PDF, docs, code embedding.
2025 - tighter MacOS integration with context awareness.
I built Fluid app exactly with that in mind. You can run local AI on mac without really knowing what an LLM/ollama is. Plug&Play.
Sorry for the blatant ad, though I do hope it's useful for some ppl reading this thread: https://getfluid.app
