What it does
YANTA is a simple, modern notes app for people who prefer the keyboard. Open it, jot down a thought, and find it when you need it. You can capture notes and search without reaching for the mouse. You get Vim-style controls on Windows, macOS, or Linux. You do not need to know Vim. YANTA stores each note as a plain JSON file you own. It requires no cloud account. You decide whether to connect an AI tool through the local MCP server.
YANTA is a fast, keyboard-first note-taking app for anyone who lives on the keyboard. Plain-JSON notes you own, native speed, and a command line that feels like home. Windows, macOS, Linux.
No bloat. No lock-in. No noise. YANTA stores your notes as plain JSON you own, finds anything in milliseconds, and runs natively everywhere you do. YANTA is a sharp command-line tool that happens to have a beautiful editor. Every capability is one keystroke away, and none of it fights you. Drive everything from the keyboard: a command palette, vim-style shortcuts, and a real command line at the bottom of every note. Your hands never leave home row. Every note, tag, and code block is indexed on-device the moment you save it. Start typing and results appear before you finish the word. Notes live in ~/.yanta/vault as plain JSON. No database lock-in, no proprietary format. Commit, sync, and…from yanta.mrg.sh

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
