This is exactly the kind of tool I've wanted for years. The cross-platform story is what makes or breaks adoption, and it looks handled well here.

这正是我多年来想要的工具。跨平台能力决定能否普及,这里看起来处理得不错。

多年来我一直想要的就是这种工具。跨平台做得好不好,往往决定能不能真正普及,这里看起来很扎实。

Agreed. The protocol being open is the real win: other clients can interoperate without reverse-engineering anything.

同意。协议开放才是真正的赢家:其他客户端无需逆向工程就能互通。

Interoperability is underrated. Half the reason the incumbents are sticky is that nothing else speaks their language.

互操作性被低估了。现有巨头难被替代,一半原因是别人说不通它们的“语言”。

互操作性常被忽略。巨头之所以粘性高,一半是因为别人根本说不通它们那套协议。

Nice work. Out of curiosity, how does it handle discovery on networks that block multicast?

做得不错。顺便问一句:在屏蔽组播的网络上,它如何做设备发现?

很不错。好奇一下:在封禁组播的网络里,发现是怎么做的?

Demo content

Two engines. One reading flow.

Stay on Apple Translation for private on-device speed, or bring your own DeepSeek key when you want more expressive phrasing.

Apple Translation

Runs on-device with millisecond-class response. Built for continuous browsing without sending story text to a third-party model host.

On-device Private by default Fast enough to keep scrolling

DeepSeek (BYOK)

Bring your own key. Requests take hundreds of milliseconds and return phrasing that often reads more naturally. The difference below is demo output, not a fixed quality claim.
