To everyone following Clarity's journey,

I'm heading back into dev mode, which means I'll be un-contactable and off social media platforms.

Hey Product Hunt Community!

Hi!

ArkTabs is getting a lot of improvements and new features. They'll be published in few days. These Include:

• Improved algorithm for sorting tabs.

• Schedule opening workspaces

• Memory cleanup

• Mute/Unmute

Hi PH fam,

As 2025 comes to a close, it s time to pause and reflect.

Every journey has its milestones. Some loud, some quiet. Some planned, some unexpected.

What was your biggest achievement of 2025?
It could be a goal you finally reached, a habit you built, a fear you overcame, or simply not giving up when things got tough.

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year!

Today we launched Griply 2026 on Product Hunt

Merry Christmas or, if you re a founder, happy I ll just check one thing day.

I genuinely wish I wasn t writing this today.
I planned to be offline. I failed.

Happy new year all.

I'm sure everyone is locked in ready to hit their goals in 2026.
The official launch of The Caffeine Reset is this Sunday - 4th January 2026.

Tailkits UI MCP is live

Some teams comment on performance.
Some on readability.
Some on test coverage.
Some on edge cases.

Over time, those comments shape behavior more than any guideline.

Profiles that populate automatically

Mnexium can build structured user profiles based on what users say in conversations without any separate onboarding forms.

If a user says:

I m Sarah from Acme

Most AI agents need access to structured data (CRMs, databases, warehouses), but giving them database access is a security nightmare. Having worked with companies on deploying agents in production environments, I'm sharing an architecture overview of what's been most useful- hope this helps!

We ve added clear volume usage metrics to give teams better visibility into storage consumption over time.
You can track:
Date and time
Total capacity
Available storage
Actual usage
This helps teams monitor growth, plan capacity, and avoid surprises as applications scale.
More observability improvements coming soon.

Guys, honestly: on our own, we only find 10 20 problems per month. That's not enough, and we've hit a ceiling.

V3 update is here! I implemented all requested features from the users:

• dark mode, in sync with reddit theme, changes on the fly

• multi-language output, choose preferred lang for AI response

• auto-scroll when clicked on referenced comments in analysis response

Dark/Light theme on Toolbar

So my friends think I'm a nerd now
Can we talk about this for a second?
Last time I hit the pub with my mates? **Three months ago.** Three. Months.
They text me: "Drinks tonight?"
Me: "Can't, working on Context Sync."
Them: "Drinks this weekend?"
Me: "Context Sync."
Them: "Mate, you've become a NERD."
And you know what? **They're right.** And I don't even care.
Because three months ago, we had 10 stars on GitHub.
Last week? **We hit 56 stars.** And our downloads went from 550 to **1,500 in a single release.**
First star comes in. I screenshot it. Send it to everyone I know.
Second star. I'm hyperventilating.
Third star. I'm texting people: "IT'S HAPPENING."
By the end of week one? **10 stars.**
Ten. Whole. Stars.
And some people would look at that and think: "That's it? Ten?"
But for me? Those 10 stars were EVERYTHING.
Because those 10 people? They didn't know if Context Sync would work. They didn't know if we'd still be here in three months. They didn't wait for social proof or Product Hunt launches or tech influencer endorsements.
They just believed.

The First 10 - The Real MVPs
I wish GitHub made it easier to track early adopters. I really do. Because these people deserve more than just a star icon next to their name.
So I did what any obsessed founder would do: I dug through my entire feed to find them.
Here they are. **The Original 10:**
- [jbcrane13](https://github.com/jbcrane13)
- [thinking-bzf](https://github.com/thinking-bzf)
- [thamam](https://github.com/thamam)
- [wking1986](https://github.com/wking1986)
- [magisph](https://github.com/magisph)
- [DayByDayBy](https://github.com/DayByDayBy)
- [CMD73](https://github.com/CMD73)
- [KylerCondran](https://github.com/KylerCondran)
- [wise141](https://github.com/wise141)
- [manijeh-a](https://github.com/manijeh-a)
**You. Are. Legends.**
You didn't just star a repo. You validated an idea. You gave a solo developer the confidence to keep going.
And honestly? I owe you a beer. All of you. Seriously. DM me. We'll make it happen.
---
## But wait, there's a BIGGER legend
Not a bug report. Not a complaint. A REAL issue. A contribution. A "hey, what if we could make this better?"
**Jo, you're going down in history.**
Not just Context Sync history. Context engineering history. AI personalization history.
Because here's what you did: You helped shape how we think about AI memory. Not as a data collection tool. Not as another way for tech companies to harvest user behavior.
But as **infrastructure for developers.**
You contributed to the future of AI engineering. You made it more user-oriented. More accessible. Less marketing BS, more actual utility.
**That's legacy stuff right there.**
---
## Here's what we're actually doing (and why it matters)
Every AI agent tells you: "Don't add personal info!" "Use responsibly!" "We're not liable!"
Cool. Great. Thanks for the warning.
But nobody's actually SOLVING the problem.
Enter projects like [mem0](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0) - well-funded, ambitious, collecting your preferences, building databases of what you like and don't like.
And look, respect to them. They're doing their thing.
**But that's not OUR thing.**
We're not trying to collect as much info as possible. We're not building a database of your preferences to sell to advertisers or train models or whatever comes next.
**We're building infrastructure.**
Infrastructure that:
- Gives YOU control over YOUR context
- Works with ANY AI tool (not lock-in)
- Focuses on developer experience over data collection
- Makes AI engineering accessible, not gatekept
We're trying to be the **Git of AI context.**
Not the surveillance tool. Not the data harvester. The INFRASTRUCTURE.
---
## The numbers that make me lose sleep (in a good way)
Let's talk about what happened last week.
**Previous release downloads:** 550
**Last release downloads:** 1,500
We launched 3 months ago. THREE MONTHS. And we're already seeing this kind of traction.
You know what that tells me?
**People are TIRED of AI tools that don't remember.**
They're tired of re-explaining their projects.
They're tired of context-switching tax.
They're tired of AI that forgets everything overnight.
**They want infrastructure. And we're building it.**
---
## What actually keeps me up at night
It's not the tech. The tech is solvable. Always is.
It's this:
How do we make onboarding easier for the NEXT user?
How do we get specs from managers to developers seamlessly?
How do we accommodate every developer's preferred AI tool?
**Those are the questions I obsess over.**
Because here's my philosophy: **User-first means user experience > backend architecture.**
Yeah, the backend needs to work. Obviously. But if your CLI sounds like a robot wrote it? If onboarding takes 30 steps? If developers need to read 40 pages of docs to understand your tool?
**You've already lost.**
So that's what I focus on. Listen. Question. Speculate. Implement.
Over and over and over.
---
## The real talk about 2026
And here's what I'm thinking about as we head into 2026:
**The Goal:** 10,000 stars by end of 2026.
I know what you're thinking. "Ntina, that's insane. You're at 56."
**I KNOW.**
From a developer POV, it seems easy. "Just build good stuff, people will come."
But from a marketing POV? I know how HARD this is.
Building is the easy part. Getting people to NOTICE? That's the battle.
---
## This is where YOU come in
If you've made it this far, you clearly care about Context Sync.
So here's what I'm asking:
**Help us hit 10K stars in 2026.**
I'm not asking you to code (though PRs are always welcome).
I'm not asking you to donate (we're open source, always will be).
Tell your friends over a beer.
Tell your family over Christmas dinner.
Tell your coworkers at that after-work event.
Hell, tell ME over a video call (my email's on my profile - seriously, reach out).
**Tell them about:**
- A tool that gives AI actual memory
- Infrastructure for the polyglot AI future
- The Git of context engineering
- A chance to contribute to something that actually matters
When your friends say "Instagram's algorithm knows me SO well, it's like it's watching me" - tell them:
**"Yeah, it is. But what if YOU could build that kind of personalization for YOUR tools? What if you controlled it? What if it was infrastructure, not surveillance?"**
That's the conversation we're trying to start.
---
You've been my motivation.
You've been my sleepless nights.
You've been my reason to skip the pub (sorry, mates).
**You've been the proof that this matters.**
Every star. Every fork. Every issue. Every PR. Every discussion comment.
**It all matters.**
We're building something real here. Something that could change how developers interact with AI forever.
**And you're part of it.**
---
## Before I go
Christmas is coming. New Year's coming. 2026 is coming.
And I just want to say:
**Thank you.**
Thank you for believing in Context Sync when it was just an idea.
Thank you for starring when we had nothing to show.
Thank you for filing issues when you could've just moved on.
Thank you for telling your friends when you could've kept it to yourself.
**You're not just users. You're co-builders.**
And in 2026, we're going to show the world what context engineering can be.
**Let's make some noise.**

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or just... have a good December.

This week at Jots
Hi community!

Firstly, we want to wish you a Happy New Year!

Lock Trigger Latency

The graph shows how quickly the system locks the device as the paired device moves away.

When teams are aligned,
reviews are calm, focused and thoughtful.

When teams are rushed or unclear,
reviews become noisy, reactive or silent.

This update focuses on faster workflows and better capture control:

What s new

• Scroll Capture Area (Beta)
  Capture long, scrollable webpages by selecting a specific scroll area. This feature is still in beta, and we ll be improving accuracy and performance in upcoming updates.

• Snap Layouts (Windows 11)
  Native support for Windows 11 Snap Layouts for faster, more intuitive window positioning.

• Pinch to Zoom (macOS)
  Smooth pinch-to-zoom support using Mac trackpad gestures while editing screenshots..

Emotions are a fundamental part of being human, and anger is often the hardest one to manage.

Have you ever been yelled at simply because someone else couldn t control their emotions? In those moments, how do we usually respond? I choose silence not because I m weak or defeated, but because I understand that they are projecting their emotions onto me. Many problems could be resolved if we learned how to regulate anger more mindfully.

Guys,
I'm looking for some athletes to get involved in helping to shape Clarity!
If anyone is interested, let me know in the comments!

Quick question for everyone following PlanEat AI.
If you could eliminate just one pain in your cooking routine, what would you pick, and why?
Examples: deciding what to cook, planning the week, building a shopping list, staying consistent, or anything else.

The way developers write code looks different than it did a few years ago. But reviewing those changes, merging them safely, and collaborating on them has increasingly become the bottleneck for building production-grade software.

The team at Graphite has spent the past few years thinking deeply about these workflows and have built a code review platform used by hundreds of thousands of engineers at top engineering organizations. The boundary between where you write code and where you collaborate on it feels increasingly arbitrary, and there's a lot we think we can build by collapsing that distance.

We are excited to announce that Graphite has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Cursor.

Graphite will continue to operate independently with the same team and product. Over the coming months, we'll explore connecting the two products in ways that we hope will feel natural: tighter integrations between local development and pull requests, smarter code review that learns from both systems, and some more radical ideas we can't share just yet.

Graphite is joining Cursor
