Mimik: auto-capture browser workflows

Auto-capture any browser workflow into a guide

What it does

Most workflow documentation tools store your screenshots in their cloud, require an account, and charge you past the free tier. Mimik doesn't. Everything runs locally in your browser. No sign-up, no telemetry, no servers. Just install, record, and export as Markdown, PDF, HTML, or GIF. Open source, free forever, and it works offline. Bring your own AI key if you want smart descriptions. Your workflows, your machine, full stop.

    I had to do a bit of web-workflow documentation and found the process of gathering screenshots, placing them correctly into a document, and creating captions extremely tiring. I figured it’ll be easy to automate and also a great opportunity to get to know the Browser API, and here we are with the first release of the extension. It’s extremely easy to use but barebones which I plan to change in the near future, so any feedback will be appreciated. I want to keep the docs generation process completely offline to avoid dealing with server costs and GDPR stuff which poses a lot of challenges…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
