This is amazing work but frankly not very helpful for me as a user. What is your top 3 recommendation? I just want to install something that works.

Thanks, good idea to give it the feedback loop, will try

Typest is amazing, Claude Code + Opus 4.8 knows how to use it, but I found that Claude by default is crap at designing even a reasonably formatted PDF. E.g. Claude sets the line height to be so small, all the lines are squished together, and a 1-pager PDF is half blank.

I see many folks saying you're producing beautiful PDFs. How are you dealing with design?

I like it! Loved hearing about your journey.

Would love to get the U.S. tax law as a dump of markdown files. Then everyone can build their own TurboTax.

This is one Chrome Extension I can't live without.

I've been using this ever since Manifest v3 killed Hacker News Extension Suite (HNES). HN comment threads are getting longer over time. Top links often have 1k+ comments now. The AI summary saves me a ton of time. I also use the extension with the new sorting function, sorting frontpage links by points, so I can focus on what's important.

What is the service you used?

HoudahSpot looks cool! What kind of query do you use it for that Spotlight can't find for you?

Makes sense, but how about Dropbox / iCloud Drive as alternatives? PDFs / images are somewhat small (at least relative to videos). I just stuff all my PDFs in Dropbox. I'm almost completely paperless and I don't seem to accumulate that many scanned docs to fill up even the free tier storage space.

Are you talking about iCloud Drive? As far as I can tell, files in there are just normal files, so Live Text works. You can easily put a screenshot / pdf in there and see.

Genuine question: for simple needs, why use this or DevonThink over macOS' built-in features? macOS now does OCR (Live Text), has tagging, and spotlight search is fast (but sometimes presents too many results to be useful). I even stopped splitting PDFs into separate documents and organizing them into folders. I just search.

It's hallucination if you hate it, and creativity if you like it.

Second and third examples produce errors:

No such layout `elk` found. Did you forget to import it and `cytoscape.use()` it?

Does Poe do Bing and Bard? I couldn't find them.
