MinimalChat Is a Full-Featured and Self-Contained LLM Chat Application
  • That seems like a pretty naive and biased approach to software to me honestly.

    Ease of use, community support, feature set, CI/CD etc..all should come into play when deciding what to use.

    Freedom at all costs is great until you limit the community development and potential user base by 90% by using a completely open repo service that 5% of the population uses or some small discord alternative.

    So then the option is to host on multiple platforms/communities and the management and time investment goes up keeping them in sync and active.

    As with most things in life, it's best to look at things with nuance rather than a hard stance imo.

    I may stand it up on another service at some point, but also anyone else is totally free to do that as well. There are no restrictions.

  • I'm not sure I understand at all?

    It's fully open source, can run/connect any number of fully local models as well as the big name models if a user chooses to use them.

    Can you expand on what you mean?

  • Thanks!

    Unfortunately currently there isn't a true RAG implementation largely due to the fact that this site/app is fully self contained with no additional servers or database etc..which is typically required for RAG.

    For now file uploads are stored in the browser's own local database and the content can be extracted and added to the current conversation context easily.

    I definitely want to add a more full RAG system but it's a process to say the least, and if I implement it I want it to be quite effective. My experience with RAG generally has left me quite unimpressed with a few quite decent implementations being the exception.

    I thought sharing here might be a good idea as well, some might find it useful!

    I've added some updates since even the initial post which gave a huge improvement to message rendering speed as well as added a plethora of new models to choose from and load/run fully locally in your browser (Edge and Chrome) with WebGPU and WebLLM

  • I haven't personally tried it yet with Ollama but it should work since it looks like Ollama has the ability to use OpenAI Response Formatted API https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/openai.md

    I might give it go here in a bit to test and confirm.

    I've been building MinimalChat for a while now, and based on the feedback I've received, it's in a pretty decent place for general use. I figured I'd share it here for anyone who might be interested!

    Quick Features Overview:

    • Mobile PWA Support: Install the site like a normal app on any device.
    • Any OpenAI formatted API support: Works with LM Studio, OpenRouter, etc.
    • Local Storage: All data is stored locally in the browser with minimal setup. Just enter a port and go in Docker.
    • Experimental Conversational Mode (GPT Models for now)
    • Basic File Upload and Storage Support: Files are stored locally in the browser.
    • Vision Support with Maintained Context
    • Regen/Edit Previous User Messages
    • Swap Models Anytime: Maintain conversational context while switching models.
    • Set/Save System Prompts: Set the system prompt. Prompts will also be saved to a list so they can be switched between easily.

    The idea is to make it essentially foolproof to deploy or set up while being generally full-featured and aesthetically pleasing. No additional databases or servers are needed, everything is contained and managed inside the web app itself locally.

    It's another chat client in a sea of clients but it is unique in its own ways in my opinion. Enjoy! Feedback is always appreciated!

    Google removes fake Signal and Telegram apps hosted on Play
  • Interesting, thanks for the info!

    I wasn't aware of the update process being used as an attack vector (if it's still a thing) gonna have to read up more on that.

  • Google removes fake Signal and Telegram apps hosted on Play
  • I used Apple for the last few years until recently and I can't say I've ever really noticed stuff like apps faking being another app. That's not to say it doesn't happen of course.

    I do know the Apple app approval process is definitely more strict than what is required for the Play Store.

    I'm not very experienced with Apple or Android development so I'd be curious to hear from devs that use both platforms as well.

  • I disliked signal app wise, and Matrix app was a buggy mess for me and the 4 other people who tried to use it as well

    SimpleX was easy to setup and has been for the most part stable for all of us.

    Basically to answer your question, people like different things.

    SimpleX isn’t perfect by any means but it seems to be developed at a somewhat decent pace with noticeable improvements being made.

  • Memmy is the best iOS app so far
  • As a dev it’s nice to check all the official guideline boxes, as a user I’d much rather actually have features.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • They’re just going to source the allowed parts from Red Bull basically exactly like they used to do with Toro Rosso.

    To think that will equate to a RB19 is a bit insane in my opinion. They will likely improve, but still be a mid midfield team like they used to be with Toro Rosso.

  • chatGpt is no longer Artificial Intelligence but Genuine Stupidity
  • I feel like ChatGPT itself probably has a fairly loose temp setting (just a hunch) and I tend to set my conversations up to be more on the strict side

    I imagine that’s why our results differ, it’s strange OpenAI doesn’t let ChatGPT site users or at least premium users adjust anything really yet.

  • chatGpt is no longer Artificial Intelligence but Genuine Stupidity
  • Look at the first question in the my first screenshot. It gets that question correct for “mayonnaise” lol

  • chatGpt is no longer Artificial Intelligence but Genuine Stupidity
  • But it’s able to correct unlike what’s shown in the OP messages.

    Extremely semantically it seems but it clearly listens. It's neat to see how different each person experience is.

    Also different tuning parameters etc..could make outputs different. That might explain why mine is seemingly a bit better at listening.

  • chatGpt is no longer Artificial Intelligence but Genuine Stupidity
  • Now it’s broken, I guess I I don’t use it this way often enough. Interesting nonetheless!

    Edit - it’s very semantic, it matters if I include an uppercase “S” or not. That’s amusing.

    I wonder if the temperature settings adjustment would fix that or just make it even weirder.

  • chatGpt is no longer Artificial Intelligence but Genuine Stupidity
  • Idk what I’m doing wrong, thankfully it always seems to listen and work fine for me lmao

  • The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • You’ve never actually used them properly then.

  • What 'app' are you using to view infosec.pub
  • Memmy is easily my favorite out of all the apps.
