And how would you adjust Shadcn salaries to account for this additional work? Do we expect open source labour to be subsidised by maintainers while the rest of us find work at FAANG?


How much work are we talking?

It would be in their best interest to keep "openwind" stable since changes to the CSS lib would require extra work in their component.

Different incentives.


Enough for multiple full time jobs. They've laid off staff who handled tasks they can no longer afford to pay for.

Is keeping both stable in their best interest or yours?

The set of options includes choosing to not keep anything stable. They can abandon both and go do other things. If the market wants them to keep x alive, it can offer a premium.


We'll have to agree to disagree then.

Because to me Tailwind maintenance look like a 2 devs jobs at best.

They have 3 founders. They don't even need to hire.


That is 20% of the monthly minimum wage in some countries.


> if you are truly spending time with the platform

I don't think folks who make $500 a month are going to have an Apple computer and the time to develop. Why are you using illogical examples to make your point?


A few years ago I was earning less than $500 a month (based on exchange rates), had an Apple computer (years behind the latest) and had time to develop. I've left the country now.

If I remember correctly, I discovered this timeout existed when I tried to show someone a mobile game I had built with Unity3d.

Privilege is blinding.


Exceptions are not rules.

Perhaps you are just blind to the fact that I _offered_ to pay for anyone's Apple developer fees in a similar situation to yours.

Pretty ridiculous all around, you'll stay poor with a mindset like that.


Now they're just exceptions? You couldn't even think of the existence of exceptions earlier. See the problem? The Apple world is designed to work in a certain way and that is ok but people are saying some exceptions exist and those exceptions should be 'handled' instead of assuming they don't exist.

Also, to be clear - I said I was earning $500 a month a few years ago. At that point, I could afford the $99 fee but discovered the superficial constraint imposed on local development in an unexpected situation. The figure is also beyond the minimum wage I mentioned earlier. Essentially, your $500 hard line doesn't reflect how people can adjust their cost structures depending on their local economy, preferences and ambition.

I initially ignored your offer because I'm not from the two countries mentioned. There's a dev talent program I know of that occasionally gives out PCs and Macs to people who are getting started in tech but can't even afford a decent PC/Mac - can I link you up so you can donate?

I'm sure they can also target those that have already benefitted from the free devices to meet your specific intent.


Yesterday, an undergraduate from Sri Lanka released KnowledgeGPT[1] which allows you to upload your docs and get answers from ChatGPT. It also uses FAISS so I'm wondering if DocsGPT is somehow related or inspired by the former.

It also appears the Github library for DocsGPT was created shortly after the release of KnowledgeGPT.

They're both just based on langchain embedding and search logic from a built index. No real difference in the two except stylistic code approaches.


You're correct. I've seen examples from Langchain's documentation and a similar but earlier tutorial from another commenter.


I will support and pay for this project.

I thought about the same problem. Companies have lots of marketing material and data sheets that are not easily queried but would be very useful to support staff when dealing with customer's questions.

I didn't build it, they did. They get my support.


Anything that relies on the ChatGPT API is subject to being insta-killed the moment OpenAI decides its not good to have them around.

Productivity tools shouldn't depend on external parties like that.


that's not a viable model. OpenAI has been most successful marketing, but these learning models are not unique.

If not OpenAI, Google will sell general use AI APIs


You are 100% right, people are building on sand if they think any VC will fund any who doesn't own the model underpinning there products.


I agree.

But the problem will be solved regardless of GPT.

I don't think the whole stack relies on GPT for this solution.

Some parts maybe, but the whole of the project is more than that.


You can swap openai for models on huggingface.co but the quality is not equal yet.


Was it important to say the country of origin?


The creator's context seemed like a good addition when I was writing my initial comment. Is it offensive or problematic?


It is not offensive, it is just pointless. I've never see people from USA write "I'm made XYZ App, made from a guy in Minnesota". I'm not from USA. But a lot of people outside USA, see the need to plaster it all over the place (Switzerland? Germany? Sweden?) their country of origin. Is the country an indicator of quality of a product? Is it supposed to convey anything to me?

Hey, I don't agree with "... made with Rust/Go/React/X" slogan too. It is just pointless.


Great, you don't have to agree, nor do you have to comment on it.


Next time, I will ask for your permission.


Was it important to ask if it was important to say the country if origin?


Yes, I want to know if that is an indicator of quality. Are AI from Sri-Lanka better than AI from USA? Could you tell me that?


No, it's probably not an indicator. You probably already know that.

Exactly what I've been looking for. It's a very easy to follow and understand tutorial, and it uses GPT-3 API instead of ChatGPT.

Thanks so much!


Seems like this app is very stripped down streamlit app more dependent on API calls vs the DocsGPT. Doubt they are related.


You're right. There's an interesting difference in the approach.
