Help Shape Engram's Future — We Want Your Honest Feedback

[HBarefoot]

Hey everyone 👋

First off — thank you for trying Engram. Whether you've been using it daily or just kicked the tires, your perspective matters.

I'm actively developing Engram and want to make sure it solves real problems for real developers. This isn't a "tell us how great we are" thread — I genuinely want to hear what's frustrating, what's missing, and what would make Engram a tool you'd recommend to others.

A Few Questions to Get Started

1. What made you try Engram?

• Needed memory for Claude/Cursor?
• Exploring alternatives to Mem0/Zep/Letta?
• Just curious about AI agent memory?

2. What's working well?

• Zero-config setup?
• MCP integration?
• Offline/local-first approach?
• Something else?

3. What's frustrating or missing?

• Features you expected but didn't find?
• Rough edges in the developer experience?
• Documentation gaps?
• Performance issues?

4. What would make Engram essential for your workflow?

• Graph memory / entity relationships?
• Multi-user / team support?
• Better embeddings (OpenAI, Cohere)?
• Cloud sync option?
• Visual memory explorer?
• Something else entirely?

5. How does Engram compare to alternatives you've tried?

• What do competitors do better?
• What does Engram do better?

Context: Where Engram Is Today

• v1.3.0 — Smart Import, 8 config parsers, MCP tools, REST API, React dashboard
• Fully offline — SQLite + local embeddings, zero API costs
• MCP-native — Built for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor

I know we're missing features like graph memory, hybrid search, and multi-user support. I'm trying to prioritize what matters most to actual users — not just what looks good on a benchmark.

No Feedback Is Too Small

• "The CLI flag confused me" — useful
• "I wish it had X" — useful
• "I tried it and went back to Y because Z" — extremely useful
• "Works great, no complaints" — also good to know!

Drop a comment, open an issue, or just react to others' suggestions. Everything helps.

Thanks for being part of this 🙏
