On: Memos: A lightweight, self-hosted memo hub

[ymsodev]

The app itself looks pretty neat. But I don't know how much I can agree with "lightweight" for a full stack webapp that just stores and presents text.

[yborg → ymsodev]

It's a ~20 MB Docker image. In an age of 800 MB Electron instant messaging apps, I'd say it qualifies.

[JohnFen → yborg]

I wouldn't. That it's not as enormous as it could be doesn't mean it's "lightweight".

[rmilejczz → JohnFen]

It’s all about context right? By embedded systems standards it’s huge but for a self hosted docker app it’s pretty small

[icedchai → yborg]

That's the same size as my first hard drive back in the late 80's!

I've noticed of late that "lightweight" doesn't seem to mean what it used to mean.

[djbusby → JohnFen]

Its always meant the same thing: lighter than the shit that's in the middle of standard-normal distribution of $THING.

[rewmie → djbusby]

Meh the first thing I saw when I opened the demo page was a spinner. That's sitting at the opposite side of the normal distribution for site lightness.

It seems to be able to connect to OpenAI‘s API and to Telegram, as well.

It uses SQLite database. I like this!
