Look, it does look like overkill but I totally understand you and where you are coming from...

I managed to publish my first book, second getting final review and third one is in editing... fully connected. AI came up with all the names for the characters, did a research on places and such. Huge help. I did check it all. For example a name AI claimed was French, totally was German and had to be replaced, but otherwise it is of huge help in writing if used correctly.

But here is a thing that made the most difference. Dictation. And not into dumb mac or phone transcriber. I use Typeless and used Superwhispt before, Typeless has amazing keyboard replacement and understand Serbian and transcribe it to English with minimal issues.

I dictate in my own Obsidian vault, to Inbox, which is then processed and sorted out by SidianSidekicks service (I am the founder). I look weird because I am talking to myself everywhere I go, but it is amazingly productive.


From their page, they say they require cloud account login for this to work, even locally which is why I decided not to try it out. Looks cool tbh. But I have quite a few tools that look cool.

I'm confused, I downloaded their repo and ran it and I had the option to continue locally without signing up/in.

Maybe it works without it, but on their Getting Started this is what they are saying (which might be written by AI) and that is why I skipped even trying it.

Landing page looks cool and I would love to try it out, but to make a cloud account just to work locally is not OK for me.

I used Superset for quite a while until a month ago. There were some annoying issues, with freezing and terminal not being rendered how it should be. And they did repeated fixes that didn't really solve it. Since I had work to do I moved on.

I installed Zellij on my server where most of work is happening and local machine and this works well for me. There are other issues I have now, but overall flow is fairly natural to what I am doing.

I liked that they did integrate a lot of agent workflow in Superset but my experience was that it would just take too many resources and especially with glitches, it wasn't worth it continuing. I had a period where i enjoyed working in it. It is vibe coded electron app, 2GB! is too much for this kind of app.

I just updated to their new version... it supposedly imported my projects but I can't find anything... so... I guess this is it.


sorry to hear about the issue. we really messed up on the performance and balancing that with more features. looking into the imported projects did no projects show up on the sidebar for you?

will continue working bugs and hope you'll give it a try later in the future when the product's more stable :)


It doesn't make sense... like a lot of it. Probably because he is marketer. I get he is upset because things change and that's it.

I think this is legitimate concern that a lot of well paying jobs will essentially ruin prospects of more upscale services.

I stopped using Dropbox, but this is pleasant news that they have this much space.

I use git and it works well and gives me security my notes will not dissapear.

On mobile used to be more difficult so I used specialized app before but now Obsidian git works well enough.

It can be better but overall it works well enough for me. I would dictate things to my phone in daily note and later process those more in desktop.


As a user of Obsidian I like this, it looks good and clean. I use Typora often as it is easier to start in a folder and just work on the files, on top it has nice visuals.

Very good work.


Thanks for your warm words!

I did a lot of experimentations with the UX/UI and colors, glad you appreciated the effort :)


Prompts as well... he might be on to something here, can't say as I didn't try it yet

Skills are just prompts


Skills are _like_ prompts, yes, they're extra info added to the context. A prompt is just a prompt though, an agent like Claude could use multiple skills in one go, which seems impossible to do with Zerostack.

Most of mine have code in them. That's most of the value.

Skills are not just prompts.. the entire problem that skills solve is runtime discoverability via a skill description. Agents can self-recognize that a skill would be useful in a situation, and then load+use.

Prompts are just text templates entered by the user, and the user must specifically know when to and remember to invoke them. If you’re just using skills as if they are the same as prompts, you’re totally missing out on the entire benefit that skills provide!


I got really good results when I asked Pi (agent) to install

and tell me which ones are good for me. It would organize it per use and selection was solid.
