ThoughtDAG Takes 136 Points and 61 Comments on Show HN Arguing the Wires Between Nodes Should Be the Context Window
chenxiachan/thoughtdag reached 136 points and 61 comments on Show HN with a single rule: on an infinite canvas of question/answer nodes, only the wired upstream nodes get sent to the model. It shows token counts per request before you send, lets you branch, merge, prune and rebuild the graph, and imports existing ChatGPT and Claude conversation exports so old threads become editable graphs. It connects to Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, is local-first, and deliberately refuses agent autonomy — the author's framing is 'human in the loop, model on the wires, no autonomous agent redrawing your graph,' which is a direct counter-position to the auto-compaction that every major coding agent now does invisibly.
