Sorry, up now, but I'm still trying to figure the root cause. I've made several adjustments, but it still seems to happen even with quite a bit less traffic right now. The db server is fine, but the Cloudrun/Django side is getting connection errors. At the least, I've got some live load testing out of this and can make it a little more solid. :)

Was able to try out now. Looks cool and this time I could test it out.

Initial Feedback 1. Search is easy 2. Can start quickly on notes 3. Too many CTA's and actions in single screen - so a little confusing 4. Find/create looks same as search - whats the difference?

Awesome, thanks for going back to try, and great feedback!

1. It's been fun to implement. Always room for improvement, formatting results is up there. But surprisingly good with simple keywords and rag. There is some fun NLP in there, like filtering by date or navigating to that day if you just type a date. And doing rag only for questions.

2. Yep, high priority -- for me it's the small things like bringing focus to the text area by default, etc.

3. Absolutely. I'm into density and packing as much onto the screen as possible, so I ultimately have to click around as little as possible. But you're right; it's confusing. I occupy this weird space, being super nerdy but also wanting ridiculous simplicity, though not in a super consumer way. Wanting to stick to plain text, for example, markdown, etc, but also targeting smb and tradespeople is an odd path. My dad, of all people, had the same feedback. :)

4. Search/ask is for looking in your notes. Find/create is more like: I know this prompt/entity exists or add it. It's mostly a direct search for the 'prompt' names or entities and a shortcut to adding blocks to your day. For example, if you're having a meeting with a person or company and don't want to clutter your daily notes. Or even my changelog, I hit ctrl-k 2x, type chan, hit tab to get 'changelog', enter, and type away. It's also the only current way to find out what prompts are in your account. Still, very worth exploring if there's a clean way to get rid of find/create. I suppose there could just be an 'add block' button, and then you can pick your prompt on creation. Simpler UI, but I'm also not convinced it's entirely better. Probably worth trying, I'm sure there'll be a time I can circle back to iterate on it. Development is mostly dictated by what's most annoying at this point.

And regarding the intermittent errors during this hn post, I think it was my db max connection django setting causing issues. Reset back to the default of 0, and it's been good so far.
