Around the Web
I’ve been seeing tons of creative tutorials on Rednote about Deepseek lately — people are asking it to be their daily fitness coach or even using it to "read their fortune." I love how AI tools like this are becoming everyday friends in such playful ways. Over the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with Deepseek myself — sending it well-organized materials and asking it to edit based on my logic. For longer articles, I still prefer the results from ChatGPT, but when it comes to quick career advice, resume tips, or professional insights, I find Deepseek's answers surprisingly helpful.

MuM's product definition, acceptance criteria and release gating ran in the DeepSeek Harness. Practically: it wrote the version specs, refused to ship when an acceptance line was red, and — the part I value most — kept every number traceable. When the marketing copy claimed a cold start we couldn't reproduce, it killed the number instead of defending it.

DeepSeek is fantastic because it provides strong reasoning and coding support at a very accessible cost. I use it for coding help, debugging, technical explanations, research, writing, and breaking down complex problems. The deep thinking ability is especially useful when I need step-by-step reasoning for architecture decisions, algorithm ideas, or technical troubleshooting. What I like most is that DeepSeek can handle complex prompts without feeling too limited, and it gives high-quality responses for both development and research tasks. The free tier and open-source direction also make it very attractive for developers, students, and builders who want powerful AI without heavy subscription costs.

Having the same plugin system as the CLI in a desktop app sounds useful. Does it support custom plugin too?

Would love to know scheduled tasks behave when the computer is offline. Do they resume automatically?

good move making this an actual app instead of just the CLI. question on the scheduled tasks part - do those run as a background daemon that survives a reboot/logout, or does the desktop app need to stay open and logged in the whole time for a scheduled job to fire?

Congrats on the desktop release — keeping the CLI's plugin model while adding scheduled and background tasks feels like a practical step for everyday use.
