haystack VS entr

Agreed on the custom integration front, we're allowing and even making it super easy to add integrations to haystack, guides and docs released on March along with the main project here: https://github.com/haystackoss/haystack

Also we have a discord server you could enter, would love to hear about your custom data connectors there. (if important enough)

I could not find a link to the repository on this site, when the code will be available? Edit: found it with google: https://github.com/haystackoss/haystack

It will be very soon https://github.com/haystackoss/haystack

some rust code that compiles to WASM loads LLM from memory, and uses custom transformer.py like rust alternative we wrote.

Although there’s going to be a paid features, the core will be open: https://github.com/haystackoss/haystack

I'm planning on opensourcing this here https://github.com/haystackoss/haystack

entr ("Event Notify Test Runner"; GitHub), is a command-line tool written by Eric Radman that allows running arbitrary commands whenever files change.

I use something very similar on https://lunar.fyi and https://lowtechguys.com but I wouldn’t call this “simple” anymore.

They use Jinja templating, I prefer Slim (https://github.com/slim-template/slim#syntax-example) which has a more Pythonic syntax (there is plim [0] in Python for that)

I use Tailwind as well for terse styling and fast experimentation (allows me to write a darkMode-aware and responsive 100 line CSS in a single line with about 10 classes)

For interaction I can write CoffeeScript directly in the page [1] and have it compiled by plim.

I run a Caddy static server [2] and use Syncthing [3] to have every file save deployed instantly to my Hetzner server.

I use entr [4] and livereloadx [5] to rebuild the pages and do hot reload on file save. All the commands are managed in a simple Makefile [6]

You can already see how the footnotes take up a large chunk of this comment, this is not my idea of simple. Sure, the end result is readable static HTML and I never have to fight obscure React errors, but it’s a high effort setup for starters.

Simple for me would be: write markdown files for pages, a simple CSS for general styling (should be optional), click to deploy on my domain. Images should automatically be resized to multiple sizes and optimized, videos re-encoded for smaller filesize etc.

I have mostly implemented that for myself (https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/How%20I%20write%20this%20blog...) but it feels fragile. I’d rather pay for a professional solution.

Try entr for fast reloading. Another one is hupper.
