Note Refiner — Local LLM Tool

A small frontend + backend app for refining rough notes into clean, structured bullet points using a local LLM backend.

Overview

• What it does: Takes unstructured notes in the client UI and returns refined, readable bullet points.
• Stack: Lightweight Node.js server and a Vite React client (TypeScript).

Repository Layout

• server/ — Node server that talks to your local LLM runtime and exposes an API.
• client/ — Vite + React app (UI for entering notes and viewing refined output).

Quickstart (local)

Prerequisites: Node.js 16+ and npm.

1. Start the server

cd server
npm install
npm start

By default the server listens on http://localhost:5000.

2. Start the client

cd client
npm install
npm run dev

Open the client (Vite) URL shown in the terminal (usually http://localhost:5173).

Notes

• If your local LLM runtime (e.g., Ollama) requires additional configuration, see server/index.js for environment variables and adjust accordingly.
• This project is intended as a minimal local demo — feel free to extend model options, streaming, or add persistence.
