Show HN: MinimalChat Is a Full-Featured and Self-Contained Chat Application (github.com/fingerthief)
1 point by fingerthieff on June 14, 2024 | hide | past | favorite
I've been building MinimalChat for a while now, and based on the feedback I've received, it's in a pretty decent place for general use. I figured I'd share it here for anyone who might be interested!

I previewed an earlier version a while ago, but this is major overhaul of the previous version that was shown.

# Quick Features Overview:

1. Mobile PWA Support: Install the site like a normal app on any device. 2. Any OpenAI formatted API support: Works with LM Studio, OpenRouter, etc. 3. Local Storage: All data is stored locally in the browser with minimal setup. Just enter a port and go in Docker. 4. Experimental Conversational Mode (GPT Models for now) 5. Basic File Upload and Storage Support: Files are stored locally in the browser. 6. Vision Support with Maintained Context 7. Regen/Edit Previous User Messages 8. Swap Models Anytime: Maintain conversational context while switching models. 9. Set/Save System Prompts: Set the system prompt. Prompts will also be saved to a list so they can be switched between easily.

The idea is to make it essentially foolproof to deploy or set up while being generally full-featured and aesthetically pleasing. No additional databases or servers are needed, everything is contained inside the web app itself.

It's another chat client in a sea of clients but it is unique in its own ways in my opinion. Enjoy! Feedback is always appreciated!

Docker instructions are in the readme.
