Furthermore, the original "grug developer brain" essay argued about reducing complexity. Despite the name, slapping AI on a simple note taking editor makes it very non-grug.
As for third-party: almost everything is third-party online. I agree with that if you don't want to use software using third party services (be it AWS/GCloud or OpenAI), you shouldn't use it (I don't, I keep my notes locally). But that's now what the comment said.
I'm both the main user and only developer -- so I try to do grug way first in user experience, then in development. I think I've realized that no matter what you set out to do, it gets insanely complex. But user experience is more important to keep simple than anything else imo. But you're right, everyone has their own definition of grugness.
