Show HN: Yet another memory system for LLMs (Score: 150+ in 16 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6zEv3
Built this for my LLM workflows - needed searchable, persistent memory that wouldn't blow up storage costs. I also wanted to use it locally for my research. It's a content-addressed storage system with block-level deduplication (saves 30-40% on typical codebases). I have integrated the CLI tool into most of my workflows in Zed, Claude Code, and Cursor, and I provide the prompt I'm currently using in the repo.
The project is in C++ and the build system is rough around the edges but is tested on macOS and Ubuntu 24.04.
