What it does
Outline is a fast, minimal note app designed around how people naturally think and write. Instead of cluttered toolbars and complex menus, you start with a clean, distraction-free canvas where formatting appears only when needed. The result is a writing experience that feels fluid, focused, and effortless — whether you're capturing ideas, planning projects, or writing technical documentation.
Simple, fluid, and clear. Outline brings note-taking back to its essence.
Everything is where you expect it to be — or not there at all. Outline stays out of the way so writing feels effortless. Outline opens to a blank, distraction-free canvas. No permanent toolbar, no crowded menu bar. The UI surfaces only when you select text. Float a focused window over your desktop so the note follows you instead of the other way around. Always on top, always close. Drop in a heading, to-do, image, or code block without breaking your writing flow. Your hands never leave the keyboard. Headings, callouts, tasks, and code compose directly on the page instead of hiding in menus. What you type is what you get. Syntax highlighting and formatting feel native, not bolted on after…from outline-app.co

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…
