my guess is it's just an electron app or chromium wrapper with an ollama wrapper to talk to it (there are plenty of free open source libs to control browsers).
You don’t have to guess, it’s open source

Depression and dread is coming through me. All the repressed memories are flowing back up.
Comments like this are the real source of dread on HN. The guy built a successful side hustle that clearly has found a place in the market, and people just want to shit on it and virtue signal how much cooler they are than ms teams. If it’s not for you, move along if you don't have anything useful to contribute.

The idea that you can’t train on copyrighted materials is ludicrous, imho. So apparently you don’t want humanity and the future of intelligence to benefit from your work? You just want it to keep it locked up in some archive that virtually no one ever reads?
Might as well say the people who read your books aren’t allowed to teach the concepts or theories. Completely asinine argument. If you don’t want the knowledge to proliferate, then don’t publish. They’re not copying and redistributing.
Meanwhile, jurisdictions outside of us copyright protection will leapfrog us because we can’t get out of our own way.

Running a local resolver is very simple.
If you know the steps -- install software, download root hints file, glance at default config (probably no changes needed), set packet filter rules, start daemon, update DHCP config -- you can be up and running in less than 10 minutes.
If it's your first time, but all of those steps are conceptually clear, I'd allot an hour or so.
I'd recommend Unbound[0] or Knot Resolver[1]. Either will give you fast local caching and private DNS history, with zero maintenance requirements. I literally have not touched my (Unbound) config in ten years.
Though, now that I think about it, there have probably been root hints[2] updates that I should download. (30 sec later: Done!)

I’ve also been running unbound for a few years now without issue.
