horizontal LLMs
Sidelong is a local chat UI for Claude where each Q&A pair becomes a 'page' shown in the middle of the screen; older pages collapse into color-coded vertical tabs on the left. Colors encode topics via local Ollama embeddings (hue = topic, saturation = confidence), so long sessions read like a row of tabs rather than an endless scroll. It runs through the Claude Code CLI with no API keys or runtime dependencies.
Why now: Freshly launched as a Show HN post ('Show HN: How to Use LLMs'), pitching an unusual sideways layout and zero-dependency, subscription-based approach to Claude chat.
Who it is for: Claude subscribers who want a local, visual way to manage long multi-topic conversations.
