The idea came from a problem I often run into when researching or learning about a topic using ChatGPT or Claude. When there’s a part I don’t fully understand, I usually need to ask a follow-up question. Because the chat is linear, the context quickly gets messy or lost, and I end up repeating things like a parrot just to continue the conversation about the main topic.

ChatGPT does have a branching option, but the UI isn’t great. So I decided to make something like this, mostly for myself. Since I think the tool is interesting and has some potential, I’m sharing it with you and would love to hear your feedback.

The main thing is visual branching on a canvas. In practice, vertical messages in the same chat can be used to go deeper into a topic, while horizontal branching can be used to clarify concepts you don’t fully understand.

Context is preserved both vertically and horizontally. That means the original chat about Python won’t know that in one branch, you asked about the difference in speed between Java and Python.

The concept is BYOK (bring your own key), which means you need to create an API key with one of the supported AI providers for the app to work. The whole app is frontend-only. There are no servers, and everything is stored locally in IndexedDB and localStorage. Some providers have a free tier, so you can try it out.


This is just an MVP to see if anyone is interested really. If it gets some traction I will probably include some non-intrusive ads, if something like that exists.


hahaha, I am too much of a noob to make something that would blend in with the rest of the submissions. That is why I try to build something fun at least.


I would say not since we don't store any info anywhere except on the user's device, or browser's local storage. Also, users are choosing to share this info if they want, with their friends.


I was obviously joking, but it's nice to know that you treat this seriously.


Hah sorry, I am new to HN and I didn't want to sound arrogant by assuming that you were joking. But your comment made me to double check so thanks!


Hey All,

I made Peezer.io mostly for fun since me and my friends are always searching for the most ridiculous things to compete in. Also, urinating is something we all need to do every day anyway so why not make it a little bit interesting?

The website is pretty simple. It lets you record audio of your urination stream and programmatically calculates the duration of your longest continuous pee stream. The results are stored in local storage and displayed in a list and/or on duration over time graph. There is an option to share results via WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram.
