I am a little concerned that they started off commercial and then went open source. Open source is great! But this path sometimes means that the original developers no longer have the time/money/interest to keep developing it. I hope that’s not the case here because they’ve got the start of something good.
Developing a proprietary code editor is a blunder. The big players in the space are Vim, Emacs and VSCode, all of which are open source, so you can't outcompete those unless you go open source yourself. Being customisable and source-hackable is the key in making your product being liked by developers, obviously.
My bet is they simply realised the mistake and decided to fix it.
Ooga Booga is just a webui for local text gen LLMs, that usually only utilise CPU
SD, on the other hand, does utilise GPU. I haven't tried it but I don't see why it won't run with the open source AMD drivers, they are good. Just try it yourself, everything is free and you would only lose some time in the worst case scenario
I always laugh when I see people's workflows that basically come down to reinventing browser bookmarks. This ancient functionality is good and dead simple
