I definitely appreciate and feel the effort you have made to keep the app simple as an ethos. Elegantly adding features is an art.

How can I send some more $ for the time you’ve spent on my feedback? Just let me know when you have time.

Recurse Chat is this super cool tool that lets you use AI locally on your laptop – and you can do it totally offline. Definitely gonna be using this on my next long-haul flight.

@cooper_ganglia

I read the website for 30 seconds and instantly bought it. It's clean, easy to use, and works really well! Easy local server hosting was cool, too. I've used the other LLM apps, and this feels like those, but simplified. It just feels good to use. I like it a lot!
