What people are saying Observed

• “The killer software is one-off custom things that are written for an audience of one user, or maybe a small handful of them. The software is on their computers, where you don't see it. None of it does anything particularly amazing, but that's kind of the point -- the programs that people are generating are for the use cases that are too personal, trivial or specific for anyone to have bothered making a software package for.”

• “This is great. If this was available a few years ago, I would have looked at this and similar projects to see if I should base my personal use service on. Why send your sometimes relatively private info elsewhere to be profiled? Why not have software that solves for your needs? As is, I have already been running my own service (with no intent to open source) for years where I decide features, tools and UX that suits me. My UX is substantially different from these chat boxes. It is also multi-user by design. It still needs time investment but the tradeoff is worth for me. Over time, I expect this threshold to keep getting lower and increasing percentage of folks to cross it. Generally, as that happens with the cost and time to build software trending lower, I think it will be interesting to watch how this dynamic evolves. For example, is it possible "personal OS" systems could emerge that solve the users' needs? I have created many smallish solutions for my needs recently, but they aren't unified in any way and I personally don't have a desire to be that [human] OS.”
