Selfhosted

58172 readers

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I built a note-taking app because the one I wanted didn't exist. Clean UI, local .md files, no cloud, no account.

Built with Rust + Tauri 2.0 + SvelteKit. Full-text search powered by Tantivy. Graph view, AI writing tools (bring your own key), Obsidian import, version history.

Available for Linux (AppImage, APT, AUR), Windows, and macOS. Source: https://codeberg.org/ArkHost/HelixNotes

AI writing tools — improve, summarize, translate, and more (Anthropic / OpenAI)

why though

[–] ArkHost@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (10 children)

Fair question. Use case: you take rough notes during a meeting, no formatting, just raw thoughts. AI can clean them up, summarize, or restructure after the fact. It's completely optional though. Disabled by default, doesn't even show in the context menus unless you explicitly configure it in settings with your own API key. If you don't want it, it's like it doesn't exist.

So, a feature for those who want it, but turned off out of the box for those who absolutely do not want it? Did I understand correctly?

[–] ArkHost@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly. Off by default, invisible unless you enable it.

As ai features should be. You're the dev?

Cool. I appreciate this design decision. If only more went that route (looking at you, Microslop)
