What it does

VaultSeek is a local-first AI semantic search app for your PDFs, docs, and text files. Instead of searching by exact keywords, VaultSeek helps you find local files by meaning. Search for “how to manage investment risk” and it can surface notes about portfolio rebalancing, cash flow, stop-loss rules, or asset allocation — even if those exact words are not in your query. powered by a compact local ONNX embedding model, and designed for privacy-first workflows. Your files stay on your machine.

VaultSeek RAG is a lightweight semantic search engine that turns your cluttered local files into an instant, searchable knowledge graph. Forget filenames. Search for ideas. Our built-in ONNX engine understands the context and meaning of your Markdown and PDF notes. Your data is your property. VaultSeek processes everything locally on your hardware. No cloud, no tracking, no internet required. Extreme memory efficiency and blazing speed. Index thousands of documents in seconds and find them infrom vault-seek.vercel.app

    Hi HN, I'm Adriano, one of the makers of Vaultrice. I'm excited (and a little nervous!) to share what we've been building. For years, we found ourselves in a frustrating loop: whenever we needed a simple real-time feature—like a "who's online" list, a collaborative app, or just sharing state between a marketing site and our main app — we'd end up spending days setting up the same stack or discarded to do it. Setting it up, it always involved wiring together a database, a WebSocket server, an API, and managing the connection state. It felt like massive overkill for what we were trying to…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
