Thanks Ndeye! This took a huge effort because there was no docs, so I had to understand every part of the codebase to write it lol.

That is very impressive. Do you do content writing full time?

yeah pretty much.. I'm not a big fan of full-time jobs for some reason so I prefer doing this on a freelance basis.

nah but the codebase felt a bit large this time + deadline was really tight.. that image reminds me of jack sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 🤣 (yeah, I can tell you have been through the same experience)

We learn this way mate!

Imagine going through Java 6 code with Freemarker template that was last updated in 2013 and there's no way that things builds on my local PC. 😁

Really appreciate the clear breakdown of the local setup — it’s well-structured and easy to follow. The behind-the-scenes architecture of OpenMemory MCP is particularly interesting, especially how it manages context and client communication through SSE. Looking forward to exploring more of its potential for local-first, privacy-focused AI workflows!

what do you mean Nevo? sorry I didn’t quite understand .. Mem0 launched OpenMemory MCP and this tutorial breaks it down.

Crazy how far this is going, I kinda love the idea of keeping memory local and all under my control.

Yeah.. you're totally in control of your data and it also gives a sense of trust as well. You can read more here: mem0.ai/openmemory-mcp

So much wild stuff is happening in tech right now, it's exciting :)
