Given that this project started based on werk that's another signal for no LLM.

Truthfully it's a signal for people that are in that particular indie-tech subculture, so it's more or less a cultural signal but one I appreciate nonetheless.

I've long not been using GitHub because of Copilot, instead I've been preferring to use Codeberg for my stuff since I believe 2024-2025? I should probably introduce a No-AI rule to docs/contributing.md, I just forgot to for a while.

God I love seeing a codeberg link. I swear their no AI policy is going to do dividends in the future.

I also cannot speak it (hence the interest), but maybe I can get some help to check the translation. Hit me up when you're ready

No, I think that there should not be a anti-AI rule. People can downvote those post if they are anti AI.

Idk if zero tolerance is the way to go, but conceptually at least allowing things with "significant" AI usage is kind of horrifying to me. The entire rest of the fucking world is completely uncritically embracing it so i see no reason why places like these have to allow it as well, i think it should be obvious that we want some communities that reject AI usage so we have control groups and safe havens for the future..

I've used Hugo before, but I've always got too full whenever I used it, and I felt like it was just big and slow. Other SSGs exist and are faster but I found that the process for making an SSG that meets my demands sounded like an extremely simple, quick and efficient concept to implement. The breaking features issue sounds plenty annoying, and rest assured, I will make sure that things are backwards compatible and will completely reconsider features to maintain it.

Thank you!

Looks similar to Brave search api. Not open source.

Nice idea.

If you're taking constructive suggestions; I'm heavily into Hugo, which is excellent for all the usual reasons. But one thing that really irritates is breaking features. Keywords being deprecated from hugo.yaml in particular. I don't constantly update my sites, so remembering where everything is can take some time.

If you were to actively resist feature bloat (as suggested by your premis) then that also lends itself to not having breaking changes. If scaff were to feature "always backwards compatible" - handling any later changes silently internally - it might wins some friends? Low maintenance, easy to learn, low effort SSG. Leave the singing and dancing to the mature frameworks.

Anyway - good luck, whether you take my thoughts on board or not!

I will never forget the Ribbon bar. Gone was the reliable PDM and it was replaced with a bar of random icons and mini menus sorted by a sociopath hell bent on making you learn its unique interface thus making you incompatible with all other programs. It really was a form of psychological warfare.

It is all a matter of perspective. Personally, I would take Libreoffice a thousands times over Office 365.

Personal open-source experiment — alpha stage

Yet the version number is above 1.0 . which is kinda confusing. i suggest fixing that somehow.

Nice, thank you very much for the recommendation! I'll be sure to try this out. 🫶

i'll add a better integration for translations and i can use a translator for cantonese since i don't speak it myself, i'd appreciate if you could take a look when it's done to see if the translation is correct. i can help you install the new app if you have any issues.

native desktop client

Regardless of the LLM contribution, electron is not a native client and shouldn't be referred to as native

I’m a fan of https://flood.js.org/ myself

It works with any Matrix homeserver

Are there any Matrix clients that don't work with any Matrix homeserver?..

No. I am a software engineer in my full time job. AI was used while coding though.

I'm fairly proud of making the HealthCoach app icon on my own, by hand, since I am no artist. 😀

Slopped all over too, for that matter

Discord is very popular, and their UI is a huge reason. And even if it weren't, users not having to learn a new one goes a long way toward adoption.

do we really need yet another discord ui clone? there is nothing redemable on discord's ui ffs

qBitTorrent is great. Especially paired with VueTorrent, which makes the web interface really nice.

Not so much as "no AI slop" but "here's something built by someone you clearly despise due to their background outdoing you without requiring a right-wing techbro circle of investers". Simply put: defiance in the face of a woefully corrupted industy. Or just pure old school "fuck you" vibes. Take your pick.

Bloody hell, I love this ✊

Vibe coded?

off course

Well, steer it back ON course!

If AI is what it takes to deliver a working FOSS Windows-like OS then I am not complaining.

Honestly, it could have less growing pains than systemd did -- for example, you'll notice how well LLMs talk as if they WANT to work with others, which is way ahead of Kay Sievers.
