emdash VS envelope

I have a side project that aims to organize your ebook highlight collections with on-device semantic search. [1] Right now it only indexes your own content but I'd like to add a mode that allows you to share your collection and let others find relevant ideas via semantic search -- a discovery platform for ideas found in books. It's open source if you want a sense of how it works now. [2]

Two personal projects I'd like to get fully-baked eventually:

https://emdash.ai

I built a tool for myself for the purpose of grokking ideas from books called Emdash [1]. Over the years I've collected reams of highlights from books and articles but until recently, rarely reviewed or absorbed them. The core of this app uses on-device ML to show related passages with similar ideas from other books you've read, and I find that going broad and exploring concepts from different angles really helps in comprehension.

I'm testing out a summarization/rephrase feature backed by LLMs that you can try in the demo. In HN fashion I'm trying to build this openly and gather feedback to see what works. I'd like to push this further in the active direction the article mentions with something like a Socratic dialogue mode where you're nudged to re-explain and examine ideas.

If anyone uses this thing/has feedback, let me know. Source is available too [2].

Emdash - Use on-device AI to learn more from your book/article highlights.

And the source of course: https://github.com/dmotz/emdash

it’s a cli utility tool to manage/replace .env files.

I was tired of having 3 different .env files in every project folder. They fall out of sync when you’re developing stuff and you only update your .env.local file, only to realise, later on, that you did not update the values in your .env.stage and all the others too.

This cli leverages an sqlite database to abstract away these files. Instead of having multiple .env you can create as many environments as you want (local, stage, prod etc.) and each one can contain multiple key-value elements. It has some nice commands already but I plan to make some more useful stuff with it.
