- Show HN: MindForger – Attention, LLM is all your note-taking app needs

Show HN: Reor – An AI note-taking app that runs models locally
Rear is a really interesting project with admirable goals. I believe this is just the beginning, but you have already done a great job!
I have been working on my note-taking application (https://github.com/dvorka/mindforger) for some time and wanted to go in the same direction. However, I gave up (for now). I used ggerganov/llama.cpp to host LLM models locally on a CPU-only machine with 32GB RAM, and used them for both RAG and note-taking use cases (like https://www.mindforger.com/index-200.html#llm). However, it did not work well for me - the performance was poor (high hardware utilization, long response times, failures, and crashes) and the actual responses were rarely useful (off-topic and impractical responses, hallucinations). I tried llama-2 7B with 4b quantization and a couple of similar models. Although I'm not happy about it, I switched to an online commercial LLM because it performs really well in terms of response quality, speed, and affordability. I frequently use the integrated LLM in my note-taking app as it can be used for many things.
Anyway, Reor "only" uses the locally hosted LLM in the generation phase of the RAG, which is a nicely constraint use case. I believe that a really lightweight LLM - I'm thinking about a tiny base model fine-tuned for summarization - could be the way to go (fast, non-hallucinating). I'm really curious to know if you have any suggestions or if you will have any in the future!
As for the vector DB, considering the resource-related problems I mentioned earlier, I was thinking about something similar to facebookresearch/faiss, which, unlike LanceDB, is not a fully-fledged vector DB. Have you made any experiments with similarity search projects or vector DBs? I would be interested in the trade-offs similar to small/large/hosted LLMs.
Overall, I think that both RAG with my personal notes as a corpus and a locally hosted generic purpose LLM for the use cases I mentioned above can take personal note-taking apps to a new level. This is the way! ;)
Good luck with your project!

Need Opinion on Manuskript and essay software
I want to use Manuskript (https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript) since the novella that I am writing is not very linear, so I though this program will help me. Instead of trying to write on Ms. Word or G-docs.
- Open Source Alternative to Causality?

Tool for keeping up with my notes
A free writing tool that I use (a lot) is Manuskript (works well on both Windows and Linux): https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript

Looking for a novel plotting software.
I'll jump on the wagon to promote manuskript. It's technically still in alpha, but it's functional enough to work with, and getting more people interested might help the development. It's open source and cross-platform and has lots of interesting features (some of which I still don't know how to use).
- Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?

we should have warned the zoomers about webapps earlier
Manuskript is a good writing tool imo.

Campfire Writing?
I suggest either Manuskript or, as mentioned, Scrivener. If you can deal with the Markdown formatting, Obsidian is an extremely powerful solution, albeit at a steep learning curve.
