   Yeah, all of that was fun/tricky to figure out. I'm planning to start a little dev blog on Revise that will get into the weeds of how this stuff works - will share it on here when I get around to it. Too much to explain in a comme

   I developed my own selection and input handling. The app focuses on a hidden input and it extracts the events when you hit keys, and handles them in my editor engine. I haven't done extensive testing but it works pretty well for foreig

   sounds like you be more open to it if Revise worked as a native app (Tauri) with ability to run it against your own LLM endpoint/keys this may be something I offer one day, with some kind of one-time license. I can't really make t

   Yeah Im aware of Lex. I think it falls short in a lot of ways. If you have ideas of how Revise could improve for writing, please email me your thoughts art@revise.io

   My line is I don’t want to market it as a tool that’s obviously for cheating/deception by building features for that. But beyond that, I don’t want to make it my business.

    It was pretty painful and frustrating, but now that it's relatively stable I'm really happy I took that path. I have full control! I think the way people approach agentic coding depends on their career experience. I had my project

    Thank you! I have considered adding some settings like this, but don't want to encourage the use of this software for cheating. For now, the catch-all solution that anyone can attempt to use is the custom prompt, under account settings

    I've definitely had the models refuse to process some content, like a lockpicking guide PDF. It happens pretty rarely, but I'm not testing with especially edgy content. The agent is model-agnostic though; I already have integratio

    Revise can answer any of those questions! You just have to ask. You can also focus your questions by selecting a segment of your document, and then writing a prompt; the agent will see what you've selected and focus its efforts on that

    I welcome any specific critical feedback. What chat apps are you thinking of? Notion can't quite format and export print-ready documents the same way. This is more akin to Google Docs than Notion. Revise can do proper word processor es

    by artursapek 7mo ago

    I would argue that walking into a thread on someone sharing a word processor they've created, saying there's no good word processor, and dismissing it for being web-based and trying to make money, is worse manners than me saying &

    I don’t feel attacked. I feel annoyed by your totally unhelpful complaint. do you walk up to bakers and complain that you don’t like gluten?

    haha wow this is an awesome list of bugs. thank you. yes all of this was built from scratch, as you can see :D I will get all of these fixed regarding rendering/text layout, it’s all based on measureText in the Canvas API. the layout e

    complaining to a show HN post about software being web based or having a subscription pricing model is like walking up to a stand at a farmer’s market and complaining that you don’t like produce. it doesn’t deserve a thoughtful response bec

    I gave a good faith response initially, and got back a reply about how it's disqualified for being for "web based" and "a subscription". Even after I explained that the core product is completely free and even inclu

    Thanks for the feedback. It seems my post got flag-bombed at some point. I can't reply to takahitoyoneda anvevoice techpulse_x or Remi_Etien. feel free to email me art@art.cx

    I definitely looked at TipTap and ended up building off their Y.js backend, which is great: https://tiptap.dev/docs/hocuspocus/getting-started/overview I wanted to build something canvas-based, so that elimin

    Thanks, that's nice. Yeah it's been 10 months, and 7 of them completely full time... living off savings. I think there's plenty of room for innovation with word processors now that we have LLMs and the big players are unlikel

    I've built an agent loop that has a self-review step, and it's pretty good at catching mistakes. It's able to scan the document in chunks and use tools to surgically change small parts.

    lol, ok bro

    by artursapek 7mo ago

    Yes, an eventual goal is to let Revise use a local LLM.
27. 87.▲
    by artursapek 7mo ago

    Revise is that, actually. It's a free, lightweight, fast word processor at its core. It also has real-time collaboration, also free. You don't need to use the AI features. It even supports code blocks, LaTeX, and Mermaid diagrams.

    No enforced limits right now, but HN might find the performance bounds of my backend today. I am planning to add team/org accounts soon!

    Not without having control over those products and their source code, which is why I built an alternative. From my testing, the Revise agent is more capable than Gemini+Docs and Copilot are right now.
