As a solo founder trying again (1) after many failed attempts, I can only say that my investment in Rust is paying off. A lot. I have worked with PHP in my early days (2006...), for about 6 years. I wanted to move to a language more structured. When I switched to Python I felt it was worth my investment. Working as a web developer, JavaScript was always there and I could not change that. After working with Python for 11 years, I felt if I attempt to be a founder again, I needed two things from a language - structure in developing my ideas, peace of mind to take a product to users' hands. I was OK to learn syntax, but I can not become a legendary developer with magical knowledge of some language. Refactoring the codebase is wildly different since I get so much support from the compiler/type system. And, if it compiles, it will simply not h

I have been working full-time since early 2024 on a locally running app, where I stick to open file formats and SQLite for storage. I would like to make this "local-first" - I feel I'm already on the way. It is an open source app to download pervade data and provide fast search, offline access, automatic labels, categories, summaries, etc Starting with emails, calendars and attachments. Integrations for Slack, LinkedIn, Stripe, databases, even web crawl are coming... I plan to have real-time collaboration on top to make money (ideally with end to end encryption). I take privacy very seriously. I do not even have OAuth2 apps for Google to access your data - you have to create those yourself (there is documentation in the app). This branch has updated readme: https://github.com/brainless/dwata/tree/feature/prepare_mvp_...

Open source app to download emails, provide fast search, offline access, automatic labels, categories, summaries, surface up what needs our attention, etc. (some features need AI).

I use RustRover/VS Code + Codeium or Zed + Supermaven and I have used Copilot before. To be honest it takes some time to get used to the flow. I have turned them off multiple times and finally the workflow has set well in my brain. Now I feel very productive with them. I work full-time for my own product (very early stage) but I am happy to share my own journey of using AI code assistants. Please feel free to check the commits: https://github.com/brainless/dwata

I have been looking at your extension for the last couple weeks and I think I will end up using it. I am also looking at running qdrant locally. I am creating an open source AI studio (desktop app) (1). It is in very early stages but it is fun to get to know this landscape. I would be happy to contribute to your project in any way I can. And thank you for this project. 1. https://github.com/brainless/dwata
