felciano··on Show HN: Hob - Open-source, on device alternative to Claude Cowork and ChatGPT
Excellent, concise overview of stuff to explore—
felciano··on Show HN: Engrim – A universal, local-first SQLite memory engine for AI CLIs
Very cool. Does it work with SQLite-sync so you can work across laptop and desktop for example?
felciano··on Embracing the parallel coding agent lifestyle
Do any of these tools support remote access eg via Zellij and/or easy spin up and management of project-specific contains/isolation spaces? That triad seems like it it would be particularly compelling
felciano··on Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
I’ve been using PRD specs at kick things off, but curious about how to a “work log”. Are there examples of how to do this with CC?
felciano··on Dropbox backs of on macOS changes to allow external drives
Looks like Dropbox may be looking into other options for maintaining MacOS compatibility but still allowing for DB files to sit on external drives (which is very helpful for implementing 3-2-1 backups).

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34650987 for discussion on why this change was problematic.

felciano··on Cloud Hosting Single Point Of Failure - Your Credit Card
Same thing happened to us, but with http://www.crashplan.com: out of the country for 2 weeks that happened to overlap with the expiry of our annual subscription. Because the credit card on file had expired, CrashPlan tried to contact us via email for a week and then deleted all of the backups!

This does seem like a key aspect of the "service" component of SaaS, in particular for cases where data is deleted or is otherwise difficult to restore (i.e. recovery involves more than just a new, valid credit card number). Maybe we need some sort of SaaS evaluation or ranking system that took these types of policies (grace periods, etc) into account...

felciano··on Wingman: Git + GitHub + OS X
So is there an equivalent for Mercurial, i.e. automates best-practices recipes for common dev workflow steps?
felciano··on Ask HN: tools to create feature-level comparison matrices?
Nice! I always wondered what Squared might be good for pragmatically. I've played around with it a bit since yesterday and the parsing is pretty raw, esp for spec sheets from the Dell site (which surprised me). But you can save it to Google Spreadsheets and go from there, so it looks like a nice way to get started. Thanks!
