Show HN: ChickenButt a Native GTK Chat Client for Ollama on Linux

What's up, ChickenButt?

I made a free, native GTK client called ChickenButt. :)

It lets you chat with local models through Ollama, and I figured some of you might get a kick out of it.

Here's the repo: https://github.com/pixelhackstudios/ChickenButt

I've always hated reading long text in the terminal, and I couldn't find anything that ran locally that allowed me to get quick answers from LLMs when I needed them.

Also, not everyone has access to the frontier models and whatnot, so I thought helping people who only have access to more cost-effective AI would be a fun way to contribute to the FOSS community. So, I built ChickenButt!

It was really fun to build, and I wanted to share it.

Enjoy! :)
