Built with @chinh

@chinh (linkedin) has been helping us shape AskBox with their feedback. Here are the 10 releases we have launched thanks to them.

# February 23, 2025

We now keep the sparkling animation for the whole streaming ✨ This little visual touch should make it easier to know if the streaming is done or not.

Thanks to @chinh (Pro) for the idea and @an for the library suggestion 🙇

# February 9, 2025

We fixed a bug where streaming does not work for some models 🌊 This is most noticeable in OpenAI and Meta ones, sorry!

Thanks @chinh (Pro) for reporting the issue 🙇

# December 8, 2024

Line breaks are back in user messages 🪜 This was a minor but annoying bug for a while, sorry!

Thanks @huy, @chinh, and @hai for reporting the issue 🙇

# November 25, 2024

Users' messages are no longer went through Markdown 📝 This should make it more predictable, as our users often don't format their messages strictly like AI always does.

Thanks @chinh (Pro) and @huy (Pro) for reporting the issue 🙇

# November 17, 2024

Messages now include fallback model 🔒 Fallback model is what actually responded when your plan does not include the requested model. For example, if you ask for "GPT 4o" without being a Pro user, you will see a warning that "GPT 4o mini" was used.

Our thanks to @chinh (Pro user) and @huy for reporting the issue 🙇

# November 15, 2024

We now have detailed message when something went wrong ✋ Previously it was just a generic "Error", which led to missed opportunities to suggest joining or advertise Pro subscription.

Our thanks to @chinh (Pro user) for reporting the issue 🙇

# August 11, 2024

Say goodbye to lagging and frame drops 🏎️ We've updated our streaming to minimise CPU usage, with zero compromise on the interface, eliminate any chance of UI freezes. This is most visible when the AI assistants generate huge chunk of code, so try it out ✨

This is requested most enthusiastically by @khoa, @huy, and @chinh, with a special shout-out to @huy for collaborating with us, thank you 🙇

# August 7, 2024

You can now pin threads 📌 Pinned threads are easy to find thank to their own tab in the sidebar. Pinned threads stay on your device forever. They will not be cleared in batch, either manually or automatically.

This has been requested by @hai and @chinh, so thank you!

# June 1, 2024

History is now sorted by last updated 🥬 Previously it was sorted by "date", but turn out we need "time" as well. Who would have guessed.

🙇 Thanks @chinh for requesting this (who happens to be our CEO, but still has the same vote as everyone)

# May 30, 2024

You can now Cmd K (or Ctrl K) from anywhere to start a new chat 🧼 You no longer need to focus on the ask box first. Even better, the ask box will be focused automatically for you to start a new chat right away.

We also support Cmd B and Cmd Shift B to toggle the home and settings panels, respectively. For our friends on Windows and Linux, they will be Ctrl B and Ctrl Shift B.

🙇 This is requested by @hai, @nhi, and @chinh, so thank you!
