Show HN: Anytype – local-first, P2P knowledge management
Anytype is built on the open-source AnySync protocol: a local-first protocol based on CRDTs. Users of Anytype can create spaces - graph-based databases with modular UI. Each space has unique access rights. Today, Anytype's beta is in single-player mode. Multiplayer mode, which will support local-first collaboration between multiple users, will be launched in the first half of 2024.<p>Anytype fulfils the seven ideals of local first software from here - <a href="https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/" rel="nofollow">https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/</a> , our team felt these things are important to all of us:<p>• No spinners: your work at your fingertips. Anytype keeps the primary copy of each space on the local device. Data synchronization with other devices happens quietly in the background - allowing you to operate with your data at your fingertips.<p>• Your work is not trapped on one device. Users can easily work on different devices. Each device keeps data in local storage, synchronisation between devices happens in the background using CRDTs to resolve conflicts.<p>• The network is optional. Everything works offline. Data synchronization need not necessarily go via the Internet: AnySync allows users to sync data via local WiFi networks. Still, there is a role for the network - it works as additional backup, helps with peer discovery and especially solves the closed-laptop problem (you made changes on laptop, when your phone was offline, the changes can either sync when both devices are online or via backup node).<p>• Seamless collaboration with your colleagues. Achieving this goal is one of the biggest challenges in realizing local-first software, but we believe with CRDTs it's possible. AnySync supports it & we will release multiplayer version soon.<p>• The Long Now. Because you have a local-first application, you can use it on your computer even if the software author disappears. This is also strengthened by open data standards and open code.<p>• Security and privacy by default. AnySync uses end-to-end encryption so that backup nodes store encrypted data that they cannot read. Conflict resolution happens on-device. The keys are controlled by users.<p>• You retain ultimate ownership and control. Users control encryption keys; there is no central registry of users (we don’t ask even your email). We added an option to self-host your backup to support full autonomy of users from the network.

Show HN: A web-app to explore topics using LLM
Lately, I've been tinkering with llama.cpp and the ollama server. The speed of these tools caught my attention, even on my modest 4060 setup. I was quite impressed with the generation quality of models like Mistral.<p>But I was a bit unhappy at the same time because whenever I explore a topic, there is a lot of typing involved when using the chat interface. So I needed a tool to not only give a response but also generate a set of "suggestions" which can be explored further just by clicking.<p>My experience in front-end development is limited. Nonetheless, I tinkered together a small web app to achieve the same goal. It is built with vuejs3+vuetify.<p>Code: <a href="https://github.com/charstorm/llmbinge/">https://github.com/charstorm/llmbinge/</a>

Show HN: Scan QR codes to check in guests registered via Google Forms
Hi HN!<p>I made a no-code platform for creating physical data collection apps, using QR codes [1].
It does not yet have a self-service config UI though, which limits adoption.<p>That's why I recently released a Google Forms™ add-on for QR code check-in, based on the platform. This focused use-case makes it easy to provide a fully self-service config UI.<p>How it works:<p>1. Create your Google Form as you normally would [2]<p>2. Activate the add-on if you hadn't already [3]<p>3. Craft a confirmation email to be sent to each form responder<p>Upon each form submission, the add-on will send a PDF with a unique QR code (a V4 UUID) to the responder.<p>Have guests present this code at the event, and record check-ins in bulk using the included QR scanner.<p>See here [4] for more information, or try the Google Sheets™ version [5] (which doesn't send email).<p>[1] <a href="https://admin.trak.codes/" rel="nofollow">https://admin.trak.codes/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://forms.google.com/" rel="nofollow">https://forms.google.com/</a><p>[3] <a href="https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_ticket_for_attendance/9398047938" rel="nofollow">https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_ticket_...</a><p>[4] <a href="https://blog.darkaa.com/qr-code-pass-per-response-google-forms-addon/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.darkaa.com/qr-code-pass-per-response-google-for...</a><p>[5] <a href="https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_pass_for_attendance/1028329904752" rel="nofollow">https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_pass_fo...</a>

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
An open source approach to locally record everything you view on your Apple Silicon computer.<p>Note: Relies on Apple Silicon, and configured to only produce Apple Silicon builds.<p>I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers, and believe it should be open source.<p>Also, from a privacy / security perspective, this is like... pretty scary stuff, and I want the code open so we know for certain that nothing is leaving your laptop. Even logging to Sentry has the potential to leak private info.
