Downstream Projects 🌱

Awful Jade (aj) isn’t just a one-off CLI toy—it’s a foundation. Because it’s built in Rust 🦀 with a clean separation of concerns (config, templates, sessions, memories, etc.), people can (and should!) build on top of it.

This page is a living showcase of projects that extend, remix, or depend on Awful Jade. Think of it as a family tree 🌳—where every branch adds a new capability, a new perspective, or just some another annoying edge case languishing in the issues tab.

✨ Why Downstream?

  • Ecosystem Growth 🌍: aj handles the hard parts (embedding, sessions, vector search), so you can focus on the fun bits (playing Bookclub Rummy in your terminal with Aristotle).
  • Composable by Design 🧩: Use aj as a CLI, a library, or a background service.
  • Community-Driven 💬: The best projects come from folks solving their own problems—and sharing back.

🚧 Examples of What You Could Build

(Whether or not they already exist, these are the kind of things aj invites you adapt to your own needs!)

  • Study Buddy 📚
    • A custom frontend where aj helps generate flashcards, quizzes, or summaries from your study materials.
  • Terminal Therapist 🛋️
    • Hook aj’s interactive mode into your daily journal or notes app. Let it respond, remember, and gently roast you.
  • Knowledgebase Copilot 🗄️
    • Wire aj into your company’s docs (Markdown, Confluence, Notion) and let it provide fast, context-aware Q&A.
  • Creative Writing Sidekick ✍🏽
    • Use templates to inspire short stories, scripts, or dialogue. aj provides plot twists on demand.
  • Rust Library Consumers 🔧
    • Import aj as a Rust crate (awful_aj) and embed it into your own CLI, TUI, or service.
