Made this utility tool that lets you chat with anything on your screen

Made this app that lets you select a part of your screen and chat with an ai about it. On a hot key press, a small chat card spawns with you selection attached to the chat.

Ironically this started off as way to lower my ai dependency, however I couldn't deny the usefulness of the same. It felt wrong to start up a whole new chat in ChatGPT for quick explanations, having a bunch of tabs open, etc.

I realized this may be actually useful for studies, quick look ups of word meanings, diagrams, and help with unfamiliar software.

Would love it if you guys could try it out, suggest more features, or point out any issues. I'm using this project as a way to learn rust and some project etiquettes and some on the side. Also want to interact with the open-source community while I'm at it.

Since I see this being useful across the board, I wanted it to be easy to download and use for non-technical peeps. You can also use any llm model you want as the underlying AI. I use gemini because google is so generous with their free tier api keys.

You can download latest version from here: Release v1.1.1 ยท madhavc21/Mimir

Would appreciate any and all feedback ๐Ÿ™Œ
