A Peek At Patchwork Progress | Ink & Switch

"Patchwork is our collaborative, version-controlled, local-first, malleable software system. Over the past two years, it’s become the home for the majority of our team’s documents and prototypes. We live and work inside Patchwork every day. [...] Since March, the Patchwork team have been writing a new slate of lab notes about their efforts and experiment"

Gentle Slopes Up Lonely Mountains | Beet

"Often a gentle slope means climbing up a mountain peak of specialization, only to climb all the way back down again when we want to visit another domain. Game engines are more like escarpments leading to broad plateaus: domains of UI, physics, networking etc are connected, remaining within reach at all skill levels." - @mrchantey

SEYFR - Send Your Files Right!

"We believe file sharing should feel direct, private, high-quality, and human. Your files should belong to you. Your memories, conversations, passwords, presentations, and creative work should not need to pass through layers of unnecessary dependency just to reach another person."

I am Glauber Costa, CEO and co-founder of Turso. We’re rewriting SQLite in Rust. AMA.

"[W]hat would happen if we rewrote SQLite from scratch in Rust? That project, originally codenamed 'Limbo,' is now the Turso Database. Clean-room reimplementation of SQLite’s file format and SQL engine, async-native from the ground up, with MVCC-based concurrent writes and memory safety baked in. Currently in beta, but it’s where we’re headed."

How I built local-first memory for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex - 94.5% LoCoMo recall@10, 70ms p50

"PMB (Personal Memory Brain) is an open-source MCP server that gives AI coding agents persistent, long-term memory. Everything runs on your machine - SQLite + LanceDB, zero cloud, zero API keys."

🛠️ Tools & Resources

PewDiePie Odysseus

"Odysseus is a self-hosted interface for talking to language models — chat, autonomous agents, tools, model serving, email, research, and more. Local-first, privacy-first, and no telemetry. Just you and your models."

LiveStore v0.4.0

"Hey there! LiveStore 0.4.0 is finally out. 🥳 This release has been a long time coming and moves LiveStore forward in a few important areas: Cloudflare is now a first-class platform target, S2 is available as a new sync backend, schemas can now directly define SQLite tables, and the React integration now centers around the new multi-store API."

Rig: Local-first semantic knowledge graph with magnetic-pull retrieval

"Rig builds a local-first semantic knowledge graph of your project, renders it as an interactive map you can fly through, and exposes it to coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …) over MCP. Your agent stops grepping blindly and starts navigating — by structure, by meaning, and by what it's touched before."

NitroIDE: Zero-Latency IDE

"The ultimate client-side IDE. Zero servers, absolute privacy. Built on the Monaco engine, running directly in your browser's memory."

StashBase

"Local knowledge base for AI workflows. HTML-first, continuously indexed, MCP-compatible."
