About

I'm Ripon, founder of Matily — a small, independent open-source studio. My core work is projectmem: a local-first memory and judgment layer for AI coding agents. It remembers your debugging history, failed attempts, and decisions, then warns you before you repeat a mistake. I also build GemType, a free, open-source Grammarly alternative. Everything I make is free, private, and runs on your own machine — no accounts, no tracking. Good software should be free, private, and open to all.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 Solo dev + grad student building memory for AI coding agents

Hey everyone

I'm Ripon a grad-student researcher at the University of Utah and the solo developer behind projectmem.

What pulled me into this: my AI coding agent kept forgetting everything between sessions. Every morning it re-read the same files and cheerfully re-suggested a fix I'd already tried last week one that had already failed. The model wasn't the problem. The missing memory was.

So I built projectmem: a local-first memory + judgment layer that lets an AI agent remember what was tried, what failed, and what was decided and warn you before you repeat a known dead-end. 100% local, MIT, no telemetry, no cloud. It's on PyPI and the MCP registry now, and there's even a research paper behind it.

projectmem v0.1.4 is live — the accountable-judgment release

Hey everyone Three weeks after launch, projectmem v0.1.4 is out the release I'm most proud of.

The core idea got sharper: your AI's memory now flags its own staleness instead of silently trusting (or deleting) old decisions.

What's new:

Stale-memory detection when a decision's file has moved on in git, projectmem flags it ("predates 7 commits confirm or supersede"). It never deletes; you decide.

projectmem - Memory + judgment for AI coding agents (local, MIT)

Lightweight memory + judgment layer for AI coding agents. No daemon, no ports — just stdio MCP + plain-text JSONL in your repo. Captures bugs, failed attempts, and fixes inside your project, then warns at git commit before you repeat a known dead-end. 14 tools, ~600 LOC, open source, MIT, 100% local — your AI finally remembers what it tried last week.
