  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • archiveis

    A simple Python wrapper for the archive.is capturing service

  • Example: if you use therapy services provided by an employer’s benefits package, they could subpoena your therapist for juicy mental health details that they can then use to slander you in court, HIPPA be damned. Example from my own employer doing this: https://archive.is/

    AI therapists have no such patient confidentiality regulations, so it would be way easier to do that.

    Imagine OpenAI wants to get rid of a problem employee who happens to use a OpenAI-powered therapist. No reason why they wouldn’t.

  • obsidian-chat-cbt-plugin

    AI-powered journaling plugin for your Obsidian notes, inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy

  • Which local platform/model are you using? Would love to follow your project.

    I built an AI journalling assistant plugin for Obsidian that has the option for 100% local and private use via Ollama and the model of your choice.

    Not a replacement for human interaction, but finding it actually really helpful for getting out of negative thinking spirals. I feel LLMs work well as objective sounding boards. Trying to build something similar to the OP for this reason!

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

    Often find myself mindlessly clicking over to reddit or some other site while thinking and before I know it I am being sucked in by something there. Those minutes add up. Wanted something that proactively tells me that this is happening and also summarizes how time was spent. Have found it be a huge help!
