Hey everyone, Bhawesh here, founder of Sidian. We built Sidian out of a personal headache. Like you, we love AI coding assistants, but we kept hitting a wall. On any project bigger than a small scale, it felt like the AI had the memory of a goldfish. It didn't know about our internal libraries or the specific patterns in our codebase. So, we built our own Context Engine from the ground up. Instead of just looking at few files, it scans your entire codebase and figures out how everything connects. Finally, the AI can see the big picture. What makes it different is that it's built for privacy and control. You can run it completely offline with local models (we have first class Ollama support!), or if you use cloud models like GPT 5, you bring your own API key. My proudest moment? The first time we asked it to refactor a messy old module that touched five different files. Honestly, we didn't think it would work. When it pulled it off perfectly without any hand holding... that was the moment we knew we had something special.
