What it does

Hillnote is a local-first markdown workspace with built-in AI. Write, think, brainstorm, and build—all offline, all yours. Your files stay on your machine. AI runs locally. MCP support lets you extend your workspace to Claude, Cursor, Google Drive, and more. Connect premium AI models, create custom tools, and integrate external services—all while keeping your work stored locally. No cloud lock-in, no subscriptions for basic features, just a workspace that works the way you do.

Documents, databases, kanban, canvas, slides, and automations — all built on markdown, all in one place. Every file lives on your disk as plain markdown. No rented database, no lock-in — your work stays yours, even without us. Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and other agents read, edit, and act on the same files you do — directly, no exports. Local models handle in-flow work like rephrasing and lookup. Frontier models handle the heavy lifting. Auto-mode routes between them. Save workflows as routines. Trigger AI on workspace events. Let agents work in the background while you do something else. Your notes , ideas , slides , tasks , plans , dashboards , databases , tools — with local or cloud AI…from hillnote.com

    Initially, we thought about this feature due to a bug in our chat interface. And surprisingly, I noticed that POE has just released the same feature. But the distinction is: with us the Multi-bot is designed to streamline the notetaking/working experience -> It allows user to search for external knowledge without switching context Though we are still in the beta phase, I would love to hear your thought/feedback on it :)

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
