Would have loved to use sqlite if I could get good results. Maybe I botched the implementation.

by correa_brian 1y ago
Appreciate the feedback! We haven't setup the infrastructure for a trial but maybe in the future. That's cool you built a similar tool - what kept you from releasing it? Plan is to ship a Windows and Linux version in the next few

why?

For vector search we couldn't get my results to return meaningful entries. My preference would have been to use sqlite. Any others you recommend besides sqlite with the vss extension?

How so?

Haven't looked back since

For now we're using CLIP. We've also done testing with Siglip and Gemma for a full-blown vision model.

dont like the sound of reimplementing the whole UI components....

I love Gemma. I use it on LM studio and am working on getting it into Desktop Docs. Thats for the nomic link. I'll do some testing...

I've heard good things about Flutter! We briefly considered it but just opted for Tauri out of preference.

The move from Electron helped us remove "native libraries" in Node. Previously we were using Xenova transformers to instantiate the models. This forced us to use multiple package.jsons and added a lot of cognitive overhead to our

Great resources, thanks. I'll look into the other packages and compare against our onnx runtime setup.

by correa_brian 1y ago
Nice. I'll try to test these out against our current implementation.

I did some prototyping with SQLite + VSS extension to handle embeddings and wasn't getting the same results as using the Redis search modules. My preference would be to run something that doesn't require a separate for the DB, but

Desktop Docs needs a GPU to work well, so we started with the Silicon chip Macs since they are ideal candidates to handle the workload of indexing an entire media library.

What do you think would be more in line with what you've seen in the past? There's definitely room to keep optimizing.

by correa_brian 1y ago
Yeah we didn't get a lot of traction on PH unfortunately and they have a lot of rules about relaunching. As far as users go - it ranges from prosumers to producers at media companies.

by correa_brian 1y ago
For sure. We've been prototyping embedding a vision model in desktop docs, but just needs more dev time to be stable. Went with CLIP for parity, but we are looking to upgrade soon. I tried Siglip and wasn't impressed. Do you know

That's it! Almost one year anniversary for Desktop Docs!

Thanks for the feedback! Will get a demo video and contact info up shortly. De-duplicating images is on our roadmap. Shoot me your contact info at hello@desktopdocs.com. Would love to see if we can help.

Should we do a c++ rebuild

by correa_brian 1y ago
We considered it and decided all the wrangling wasn't worth it. Briefly also thought about adding in a python process to interact with our ML models, but figured it was worth streamlining this all into a single language/framework

by correa_brian 1y ago
Awesome! Linux version is on our roadmap and that use case is exactly why we started building this too. I can let you know when that version is ready

by correa_brian 1y ago
We haven't started testing for windows yet. Are you on Windows? Happy to let you know when we're releasing that version.

After our Electron experience, I wish I had moved out of my comfort zone (JS) sooner. Electron just requires a lot of optimization and you have to be really tight with your imports to avoid loading things you don't immediately need. Th

Thanks! If you're interested in that version, drop us a note: hello [at] desktopdocs dot com. We'll shoot you an update when it's ready!

Yeah there are definitely hang ups along the way. It's a big of wack-a-model but thankfully we've had an easier time developing with Rust than on Electron.

We aren't offering a trial right now, but to answer about docs --> we're testing an update to support searching text and will be releasing it soon. Right now you can search the contents of all your images and videos.
