I coded an app over 3 months that might be useful for some people. What are the next steps? (programming.dev)

Privacy & Local Storage

All your chats and data are stored locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and control.

Assuming that those providers don't store your chats (which they certainly do). Also no mention of locally hosted models?

If you just want to connext to llms then SillyTavern can also do that, for free.

Looks a lot likehttps://github.com/open-webui/open-webui

I'm using it with open router, helps me claw back a little privacy

I applaud this program, exactly what we've all been looking for.

Looks like many of the comments identifying it have been removed.

Thank you.

Is it open source?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it cross-platform?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Currently only Windows is supported. But because it's flutter under the hood, I will be expanding to other platforms shortly!

I love the gtk ui. I wish it was a frontend for a local ai but I'm not complaining :) i love it still. Kudos!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Thank you! It could actually be a frontend for local ai. Currently only Openai, Anthropic and Google are supported. But I will be adding support for lmstudio, ollama etc in the future as well!

And what does your program do?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Basically you can talk to different LLM models through their api. But all your conversation are saved locally on your computer so you don't have to pay a subscription fee and you have all your chats in one place!

So, something like Duck.ai, the built-in AI frontend of DuckDuckGo? https://duck.ai/ Nice, but why would anyone pay for it?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 days ago

Yes similar but not quite the same. You can see the features here: https://anylm.app/

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 days ago

The goal was to build a "native" app that has a nice UI and can connect to all the different LLM providers. So basically you don't have to pay a subscription fee and only pay as you go to the different providers.

The difference to existing apps like Typing Mind is that it actually mimics the UI from ChatGPT as close as possible. So you don't feel like you're using something inferior. What do you guys think?
