What would make you trust an Android keyboard with encryption?

What would make you trust an Android keyboard that claims to encrypt your typing before it reaches the chat app? I m testing a different UX: encryption at the keyboard layer, before plaintext reaches the chat app.

The difficult problem is not adding an Encrypt button. It is trust. A keyboard can see sensitive input, so enabling a third-party keyboard should require unusually strong evidence.

If you were evaluating this idea, which signal would matter first?

A. A two-device demo: type encrypt send open offline

Are we over-engineering AI memory? (Markdown vs. Vector DBs for small datasets)

Hey makers!

Lately, I ve been looking closely at how independent builders and small teams are managing AI knowledge bases. It feels like the default "industry standard" is to immediately reach for a complex RAG pipeline and a heavy, paid Vector Database.

But I'm starting to wonder if we are over-engineering this for 90% of standard use cases.

Vector DBs are incredibly powerful for massive scale, but for smaller or non-massive datasets, they can be expensive, complex to query, and act as complete black boxes. If a search returns a weird chunk, diagnosing it is often a nightmare.

Saas companies, lets talk converting free users to paid

As the title suggests, I want to discuss strategies that SaaS companies have implemented or hope to implement on converting their free users into a free trial, and hopefully a paid plan. What have your most successful campaigns been vs some of your worst to get these conversions? Hearing the details of both successful & non-successful campaigns could hopefully streamline the process for other startups and help increase paid users!

99% of custom GPTs are of poor quality, but I believe there's still that 1% that are incredibly valuable. Have you ever encountered a GPT that you just couldn't stop using once you started?

We shipped the first agent-native computer. Then Perplexity announced the same vision.

Saw Aravind's post yesterday about Perplexity's new computer.

Got me thinking: we launched Happycapy - the 1st agent-native computer here on Feb 11 (beta was Jan 27). Grateful @rajiv_ayyangar and the PH community witnessed it from the start.
