    > loaded into the working model — the original file is untouched and will stay that way

    Commentary text like this, once described here on HN as essentially the chat context leaking into the application, is absolute anathema to me. Something about it makes me irrationally annoyed and immediately not want to use the software.

    I think, to me, it signals the pinnacle of vibe-coding in the sense that I can't imagine that the output was looked at closely and the copy still remained. When my own agents try to write stuff like that, I remove it immediately.

    Like I said, maybe irrational.

      Nah, not irrational. No application should show the logic at the forefront. It's just claude-ese convention from RLVR

    4 matches for 'honest'. Why does claude like that word so much? Honestly?!

      I’ll be straight with you… I think it’s the RLHF. That is the most load-bearing aspect

    Brilliant, upload your data and access it through some third party via a browser. No concerns here.

      It's run locally on your browser. (I'm not using this service; I just tested with a dummy database.)

        Firefox has "File | Work Offline" but it would be nice if a site could invoke this after its assets were loaded, with a clear indication in the browser chrome.

        It would make it much easier to trust these offline sites.

          TIL about "Work Offline" in a browser! i mean it makes sense, even if it initially sounds counter-intuitive

    I use "Note Everything" on my Android phone. I found is uses a SQLite db for storing its info. Might try this for extracting the contents if I ever want to move to Apple phone.

    Just tried it. I have Note Everything save to Google Drive. Extracted that zip file, read it here, saved the text notes as csv, looked at it in txtedit. Great!!!!

    Could write a gawk program to recreate the notes in directories.

      Thanks for mentioning this, I'm still looking for the best note app for me, and this looks nice for storing photos along with notes..

      Since it stores to sqldb I could probably sync the db to a webserver and build a web frontend for presentation.

    "contact@editsqlite.com — answered by the person who built it"

    I doubt this

    I wish there was a link to the repo included on the website. I assume that it is this one..?

    How anyone cannot produce the same thing by just pointing an AI agent to it?

      This is like a one hour claude project

        It's also valueless. If you want a graphical interface to SQLite, they already exist. Look at https://sqlitebrowser.org/ .
        • agilek 1 hour ago
          It doesn’t run in the browser.
          • thaumasiotes 1 hour ago
            So what? Why do you want your database viewer to run in the browser?
            • skinfaxi 1 hour ago
              Because you can visit a website on your phone or places you can't install native software.

              It's sandboxed!

    Reminds me of an old hack project I did: https://tabdb.io/ Edit + query an SQL database whose data is stored exclusively in your browser tabs.

    Jesus... How the fuck is this even on the frontpage?

      The point of art is not necessarily to look pretty, sometimes is to raise questions or challenge assumptions, to evoke emotions - make you feel disgusted, angry, befuddled.

      Some modern "artists" take it to the extremely provocative form, a lot of what gets mocked as lazy conceptual art is lazy not because it's offensive but because the idea could be stated in one sentence and the object adds nothing to it.

      I suppose we're witnessing a new form of lazy, lame art - concepti-slop "art of coding". Which could often be described in one sentence:
