clarkmcc | 2 years ago | on: Show HN: Chitchat, an easy-to-use, cross-platform, chat-based LLM interface

That's a good idea to tackle next. The project is only a few days old so I haven't added this yet. Will look into it! It does have memory context in the sense that as you chat, it will remember your messages, but there's no support for pre-populating the context from a document (though you could drop a bunch of content into the warmup prompt right now).

At my day job we use ClickUp and as a contractor for another large company we use Jira. ClickUp is actually awesome. It’s a joy to use, it has more features then we need, it’s extremely flexible when it comes to linking tasks together. It has a document solution that’s very good. I would highly recommend.

I’ve just started using linear for a personal OSS project. It seems nice so far but I don’t have enough experience with it to say for sure.

Hey good on you if you’re signing over paychecks to employees that leave work to go shopping or take extended lunch breaks. Apparently I just don’t have that kind of cash to spend on non-productivity. I care very much how much time their backside is in the chair as that is significantly more correlated to productivity than shopping.

This is a naive take imo, especially in a small business where you're signing checks from your personal bank account to your employees. When I'm paying someone for work out of my own pocket, I'm going to make sure that they're reaching peak productivity. I don't know why this expectation wouldn't exist at a larger company as well.

Two things can be true at once: my employee can be delivering good results, and my employee can deliver even better results. Just because an employee is delivering results doesn't mean that is their maximum potential.

The other thing you're not considering is the fact that management has a responsibility to maximize productivity with the workforce they have. Where you see management failure, I see managements responsibility.

Now, none of this means there aren't poor managers (I've had those), nor does it mean that the solution is straight up surveillance. What I am saying is as someone who does manage, and as someone who does pay employees, this issue isn't nearly as cut-and-dry as you're making it out to be.

The news sources that I trust the least are the news sources that claim to be “unbiased”.

I tend to read a variety of news sources that claim to be biased and then mentally account for that bias.

Also, your site is down…

FYI, ClickUp does have real-time chat which is I think the only feature you note on the compare page that Upbase has that ClickUp does not. Also, this might not be a popular opinion but this sales pitch just doesn’t do it for me, “At first, it might seem great that you can do everything with [ClickUp], but after a while, you realize you don’t need that many features.”

It would be nice to see a comparison with Linear.

Wait, am I missing something? This project was last updated 8 years ago and only implements core data structures of git. Branching, checking out, merging etc is not supported…
