Quick Wilmer Update Check-in

Just a quick update- I know it's been quiet on the Wilmer front, but I have a huge update coming soon that I've been working on, and hope to release next weekend. A lot of quality-of-life stuff that I've been using myself lately which has made a huge difference for me, as well as an agentic coder workflow that has helped me a lot with local LLMs.

In case you were curious, I've been getting releases out more slowly for 2 reasons:

1) I can only really tinker on Wilmer a bit during the weekends, and sometimes I get sidetracked from it with actual work stuff from my job, so it's been a slow burn to get these releases out. If I end up spending half my weekend doing work stuff, that limits me to basically 1 day a week that I can tinker on my own projects. As you can imagine, even with me feverishly coding alongside an AI, that's just not a lot of progress I can make per week.

2) I've got a couple of projects in flight, some of which I intend to eventually put on GitHub; they keep distracting me. I now have a really great little offline researcher with far more available material than just Wikipedia, and is far better at actually researching. Additionally I've got a web searcher that can do quick searches as well as deep researchers; the deep research quality is honestly getting close to what I get with Claude, but I've still got a lot of work to do on it. Also have a few other home-automation type projects that I'm hoping to bring out at some point.

For Wilmer: this upcoming release will be about 2 months of effort all in one. So even at only 1-2 days of effort put into it a week, that's still going to be a lot of changes, so hopefully some folks will find it useful.

Anyhow, this really was just a quick check-in to let folks know that I haven't given up on Wilmer or anything; just been very busy and this release is simply too big to rush.
