[@Derguez007]

Excellent. More tutorials like this please.

[@szymonraczka4085]

I would love to see some series on programming topics, especially PHP/Laravel and Tailwind CSS. :)

[@noduslabs]

Interesting! What exactly you'd like to explore? Those topics are quite specific, so what would be an angle interesting for you?

Excellent tutorial! @noduslabs . Could you please let me know what software you used to create this video? The zoom-in on the product, front-facing video, and the blue background.

Prebuilt maps on maths topics would be great. Often we dont know the flow and keep searching online. For example map on probability or statistics.

[@noduslabs]

Interesting idea.

[@malartbecomes236]

I'm extremely interested in the application, but a self-hosted version where we supply our own API keys, and where we can choose the models being used and enable things like OpenRouter would be appreciated. I know you have things priced for frequent users by eating the API costs on your end, but I (and several people I've shown this to) would rather use our existing API keys and have access to the service offline. It would certainly help get the product out there.

[@noduslabs]

The price of using external APIs is very low, that's not why the product is subscription based. It's because I've been working on it since 2012 developing the methodology, the code, the UX, doing it all without investors because I didn't want it to turn into another marketing tool that gets sold out and killed off by some big corp because it's not making enough money. Why would you want it to be self-hosted? Is it because you want to use it offline? Or because you don't want to pay the subscription? Or is it about the possibility to use different models? And if you'd like to use different models, what is the reason for that? Do you think you'll get better insights using Claude or Llama for instance?

[@MODEST500]

this is really interesting now. i wish infranodus is built in obsidian like a plugin but offcourse paid, coz i use obsidian and its better that way to have a research powerhouse like infranodus

[@noduslabs]

I’m using the InfraNodus obsidian plugin in the demo. You can download it following the link.

[@gstyeeyvbwiy]

What is the difference between the basic account and the advanced account? Will I still be able to do the same process you did above?

[@noduslabs]

Absolutely! With all accounts. I think the Pro and the Premium ones just have higher throughput.

[@oTheCendaCZo]

Please, How do you surround the text like you do (brackets)?

[@noduslabs]

In fact, if you go in the PKM / mindmap mode, you can simply select the text and it'll be tagged automatically. You can also choose to import entities instead of keywords and then InfraNodus will do this for you automatically. Does it make sense?

[@oTheCendaCZo]

@@noduslabs Yes, I'm long searching for a solution to easily enclose selected text with symbols. I've done some ahk script, but it'd bw better to have something like this natively and on android (e.g. unexpected keyboard)

[@noduslabs]

@@oTheCendaCZo oh i think in this case you can just use Claude of v0 to write some React app and then port it to InfraNodus and have it installed on your phone. Once you get into it, it's quite easy.

[@srinivastentu]

Superb. Thanks.

[@apricotcomputers3943]

i was working on this back in 2011/2012... back at the university of Florida 😢

[@noduslabs]

Well, the first iteration was made in 2011. It was textexture.com and that's the first paper from 2011: scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=7fyleFwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=7fyleFwAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC

[@vaibhavigawe]

will it work on IFC files from Autodesk Revit 3D BIM models?

[@noduslabs]

Do you have an example of such file? And what would you like to visualize? What would be the nodes and relations in that context?

[@PromptStreamer]

It looks cool but the website is dysfunctional, I cannot sign up and make an account

[@noduslabs]

What is the error you’re getting? Maybe another browser?

[@i2c_jason]

Is this visualizing the latent space of the word embeddings?

[@noduslabs]

No, its visualizing the words’ co-occurrences which is kind of like embeddings in meaning but in the context of this particular text, so you get a much more specific insight on the topical clusters than you’d get with embeddings.

how can I leverage your tool to do research over reddit?

[@noduslabs]

What would you want to research on Reddit? What kind of communities or data? In general, the easiest way is to use the RSS import or the plugin that will scrape the page you're viewing for you.

[@gonzaloalessandrelli5105]

@@noduslabs I'm a software engineer and want to do niche research. I'd like to be able to research subredits relative to set of keywords, retrieve "hot" posts for every one and import those into your software.

this is cool

[@ThexBorg]

Is InfraNodus a free service? Or use my Google account to log in?

[@noduslabs]

No, because it costs money to develop it and subscribers' contributions are the only way to support it.

[@Mehrdadkh87]

Is there other similar tools like that ?

[@noduslabs]

No

[@rpatools]

NO There is not even close enough software This is one of the best software and this guy is one of best explainer

[@JaredFarrer]

You make it almost impossible to try and sign up

[@noduslabs]

How is that? Can you elaborate?

[@apricotcomputers3943]

who controls the data 🤔

[@noduslabs]

you do!

[@JaredFarrer]

It looks cool but it isn’t friendly to actual users you just try and charge right off bat. This is why open source software to paid subscription is always better model for things like this

[@noduslabs]

@@JaredFarrer how is open source a better model? I’ve worked on it for 12 years and the only way I could have afforded it is with a subscription. I honestly don’t get your logic. Do you yourself like working for free for the benefit of humanity? What do you eat?
