kuku
Obsidian — but a lot has changed
In plain words
Kuku is a native macOS markdown editor for local note-taking that stores files as plain text with wikilinks, backlinks, and graph visualization. Built with Tauri rather than Electron, it works entirely offline without cloud dependency or vendor lock-in. The editor includes an AI agent that searches, edits, and links notes while displaying all changes as reviewable diffs. It targets writers and knowledge workers seeking a lightweight alternative to Obsidian with integrated AI capabilities.

From the sources
Kuku is a truly native, local-first markdown editor for macOS — built with Tauri, not Electron. Notes are stored as plainmd files with wikilinks, backlinks, and graph view. Its AI agent doesn’t just chat — it searches, edits, and links your files, with every change shown as Cursor-style diffs you can review. Fast, lightweight, offline-first. No cloud. No lock-in. Obsidian + Cursor, without Electron.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
