Thanks for your comment, not sure what you're trying to imply, but don't you think DoorDash or Airbnb would be significantly more valuable if it told you what restaurants/Airbnbs your friends like as well? As compared to reviews from strangers.

[I see the irony as I ask strangers for reviews lol]

> don't you think DoorDash or Airbnb would be significantly more valuable if it told you what restaurants/Airbnbs your friends like as well?

It wouldn't for me, no. My friends already tell me what restaurants and such they like. There's no need to put an intermediary in that communications.

But I'm just one person.

For sure, I just doubt that the long-term user privacy will be maintained. Localized data (from the perspective of a graph) is even more valuable than overall data. I suppose I'm just burnt out from privacy being a selling point until...it's not any more.

Built an SDK over the last few months, that can help bring back social experiences, without compromising user data security.

What do you think?

Hey HN - I'm riffing on an idea about having a dictaphone app for your desktop and mobile, where you can take notes by simply speaking into the microphone.

Above is the very first version (super simple right now). Would love to know the top challenges you face while ideating and dreaming of new thoughts.. What would you like to see, what would you like to add?

About business plan -- still playing around with it -- so put 10 Questions for free, and then will see how it goes.

Probably will do something like a $2 day pass and a $20/mo subscription. The monthly subscription would definitely have a lot of features in it. If you have any suggestions, would love to add them in!

Sorry about that -- could you refresh the page and try again

oops! That was resolved. Try refreshing the page and try again?

Hello HN

We built a tool to summarize and chat with with some of the most popular books [1], like The Book Thief [2]

The key features we felt that were necessary were:

- Quickly search your books

- Select the book and start chatting

- One click book summary

- Add link to buy on Amazon

--

Caveats:

The books library is currently very small, if we have enough interest we would be happy to source and grow the library.

What would you like us to add to this next?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. What features would you like to see in an AI email assistant?

That's a great point. However, in Slik's case, the data is first fragmented into small chunks and then distributed into a decentralized storage. Thus, for a bad actor to pose a problem, they'll also have to collect all the encrypted chunks, before making any sense out of it.

Okay so the chunks are distributed, a follow up question is are they duplicated to multiple copies per chunk? I ask because if one chunk is lost then the data would be unusable wouldn't it?

Yes, it can somewhat be done. The net storage costs could theoretically be tending to zero, but might never be zero because of fill-rate per node and maintaining system reliability.
