What we've been up to, today (2/2):
github.com/permacommons... - smarter logging. Log events like "log started" and "log paused" are now displayed in the TUI _and_ written to the file in a consistent format. Atomic rewrites (e.g., after the user retries a message) are next.
What we've been up to, today (1/2):
lib.reviews - work on strengthening type safety and runtime guards for multilingual strings; more consistent approach to HTML entities & other potentially unsafe content.
We'll share more detailed blog posts about what we've learned so far in coming weeks. If you're building stuff with #AI that potentially has lasting value, and are hoping to give it a long-term home, please come chat with us, here or on Mattermost:

The second project has been around for almost 10 years: lib.reviews - a free and open source database of (human-written!) reviews. With help from AI coding tools, we've begun an overdue modernization of the codebase.
The repo is here:

So far we have published two substantive projects under the Permacommons umbrella. The first one is Chabeau, an open source terminal UI for OpenAI-compatible APIs, written in #Rust and packed with features few other such tools have. It is available here, free forever:

Hi there. Time for a proper #introduction.
Permacommons is a new initiative to build shared resources with #AI assistance. We're starting with open source software.
We've expanded on our motivation in this inaugural blog post:
