Why I love social media:
Someone reached out to me about a bug in PocketMind. They were running their own LLM server and wanted to connect the PocketMind app on their iPhone to that personal, open-source model server using @LMStudioAI. The app wasn’t working over the local network because I hadn’t added the necessary flag to support it.
He also pointed out a few other issues he was having, so I fixed everything and published a new update.
To my surprise, he sent me $100 of DOGE as a tip for fixing the issues. I was happy to do it for free—I want the app to be bug-free and support standard use cases.
I know a lot of people are privacy-minded, so letting users run their own LLM models without anyone logging their data is important to me. I love that the app is being used this way, and I’m committed to supporting privacy. I currently don’t have, and won’t intentionally add, any tracking code into the app.
People should be able to use AI without anyone listening in. The app is free right now, and although I plan on introducing a subscription model for revenue, I want the base version to remain free so people can run local models on their devices and use online services with their own API keys.
That DOGE tip was actually the first money I’ve made from the app—so cool that it came in crypto, and even cooler that someone cared enough to send it.
This is why I love social media. People can be really cool sometimes.
