True! I'll look into it


Thanks, feel free to share it!


Should be up now (it's a static site behind Cloudflare)


Hm. Now getting "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" in Chrome on OSX.


That's strange, the certificate should be valid (from Let's Encrypt, SHA-256 fingerprint ending in …ccdb4). Could it be an issue with client time settings or an outdated browser cache?


That feature is so well hidden I kind of forgot it exist. I'll check out the selection/transformation stuff!


It is well hidden. It’s also amazing. Services are available system-wide, work in any application and can be as sophisticated as you want, if only because you can put as many shell scripts as you’d like in them and then Bob’s your uncle. It’s one of the key features I miss when I use Linux.


Yeah, Apple services are one of a bunch of semi-forgotten features of macOS that are real gems


Thanks! There's a "Summarize selection" prompt in there, so if you try it with a good model like Mixtral you might already get good results for (1). For (2) I'm guessing you'd want to be able to write a custom prompt?


Can "Summarize selection" work across multiple documents, or is it limited to only a single document at a time?

Also, the Notes app on macOS has a reasonably comprehensive AppleScript Dictionary associated with it for scripting; have you considered using osascript with either AppleScript (ugh) or JavaScript to expand your cross-document capabilities?


Ah yes it's limited to single documents.

Using AppleScript/JavaScript to pull multiple notes is a good idea!


That sounds like an awesome app, if you build I'd use it too! :)


I used percentages so the text bar and Send button should fill up the full width on any device. I saw the same thing happen before updating the Kindle version. I wonder if they haven't rolled out the upgrade for Oasis yet.


Agreed, I definitely write shorter questions on my Kindle than in ChatGPT on my laptop


What does it say about Kindle in the user-agent string? https://www.whatsmyua.info


It's a good idea! Amazon doesn't offer an API for fetching highlights but services like Readwise seem to get around this by using a Chrome extension to do it. Not sure how that could be done on a Kindle though...


Thanks for the tip on ReadWise, that looks interesting!
