I love the website; the design, the video, the NSFW toggle, the simplicity.
I love the idea; definitely something I ran into a few times before and wish I had.
Unfortunately, I am not installing a closed-source daemon with access to the filesystem from an unknown (to me) developer. I will bookmark this and revisit in a few weeks and hope you had published the source. :)

This is so cool to have made yourself. How would you compare this to the functionality offered by jujutsu? I love the histogram, it was the first sort of thing I wanted out of jujutsu that its UI doesn't make very easy. But with jj the filesystem tracking is built in, which is a huge advantage.

FYI all Jetbrains IDEs include this, as long as they are open on the codebase. It's called "Local history".

Yep, I’ve needed something like this a few times. Even when trying to be careful to commit every step to a feature branch, I’ve still found myself asking for code fixes or updates in a single iteration and kicking myself when I didn’t just commit the damn thing. This will be a nice safety net.

A useful idea!
Alternative - version files and catalog those versions (most of the work, with "Unfucked", appears to be catalog management), building it on top of a Versioning File System.
E.g. NILFS logging file system, logs every block-change (realtime)

I have used fossil in a similar way, also local, and sqlite based. Admittedly you have to add files to it first but setting it running via cron was simple enough. Though it wasn't be ause I let an AI access all my stuff.

This is a real problem! Sounds like you and dura landed on similar solutions: https://github.com/tkellogg/dura
Keep it up!

love the idea of this, but echoing others... closed source daemon with access to all files is a 100% non-starter.

Where is the source? I'm not going to rely on or trust anything this important to code I can't read.

This would be great as aVSCode(ium) extension.

this seems insanely useful and well thought out. kinda surprised something like it doesn’t already exist. def useful in the age of agents

Is this open source or source available?

Just use Jujutsu

why did you make it so complicated? magit has a `magit-wip-mode` that just silently creates refs in git intermittently so you can just use the reflog to get things back.
