I nearly missed my son's therapy appointment this morning. Not because I forgot. Not because I don't care. Because I have ADHD, and Thursday looks exactly like Wednesday in my brain until something catches it.

Private beta is live. 208,000 lines of code. 9 months. Built with ADHD, for ADHD brains. NeuroRythm isn't another productivity app telling you to just try harder. It's a full system built around how our brains actually work... .

Nine months ago I had 663 apps on my phone. Not metaphorically. I kept a count. All sucked. So I built one myself. 203,000 lines of code, no formal coding background, living in a converted bus, single dad... and a brain that works completely differently to the one all those apps were designed for.

175,000 lines of Python. 7 months of ADHD hyperfocus. I wanted to see what that actually looks like, so I ran a visualization tool on the #NeuroRythm codebase from August to now. Here is how a system for neurodivergent minds actually grows. 🧵 👇

663 Apps Couldn't Fix My ADHD Brain. So I Built NeuroRythm. paragraph.com/@0x09ffb0e50...

@brianpenny.bsky.social So I see you are trying to find another home to spread your bullshit on. Screenshots are forever. Stop the lies and the hate. Do better.

I built AI that reviewed my own story. It gave it 2.75 out of 5. Stung for about three seconds. Then I thought, fucking perfect. That's honest feedback. That's what writers actually need. Full story → blog.writerswithoutwalls.com/i-built-ai-t...

I had heard that Bluesky was much better at moderation than Threads. So why is Brian Penny allowed to pin a post harassing me and calling me names on his profile here with no repercussions? @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app

As expected, Brian Penny didn't want to be called out on this platform, where he's trying to keep up the illusion, so he blocked me. Apparently he's selective about who he keeps trying to abuse, and surprise surprise, it's women he goes after. Put this prick on blast, folks. He's gross.

"There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that you're ADHD." I'd braced for an argument. 663 apps. A script I built myself that still didn't work. Years of what is wrong with you. Nothing was wrong with me. The tools were just never built for us. So I built one that was. Link in the comments.

I built my own productivity tool from scratch. It worked perfectly. I still didn't use it. That's the moment I stopped thinking I was the problem. The apps were never built for my brain. So I built one that was. Full story → Link in comments

After years of abandoning every productivity app within a week, I finally understood: we aren't broken, the tools are. So I built NeuroRythm - a productivity system that works WITH ADHD brains instead of trying to fix us. The software is 70% done (not vaporware, actual working code).

Looking for more victims... I mean, volunteers 😅 Diagnosed, self-diagnosed or just suspected ADHD. No judgement here. So I had 6 (at least) projects running simultaneously. My story writing concepts here, another learning thing there, work stuff everywhere.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Interested in AI? Here's a great newsletter I get called The Rundown AI. Check it out.. you also get tools for people signing up.. lol. I'm looking at an AI course with certification next.. interested to see what that's about. www.therundown.ai/subscribe?re...

I half expected it to happen, but I also thought my account was too small. The "free speech" platform has limited my account, with no way of appealing. Lol. #fucktwitter Elon Musk is the biggest threat to democracy out there today. open.substack.com/pub/jamesdar...

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS. This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨

My article now on my substack. jamesdarmstrong.substack.com/p/the-tech-t...

yes.

Elon Musk: "AI is dangerous; we need to regulate it!" Also Elon Musk: Expands AI supercomputer to a million GPUs. 🤔 Here’s a thread on Musk's AI hypocrisy and what it means for the future of tech. 🧵

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

Burn 🔥🤣

I think so far I’ve found about 10% of my Twitter gang. If you care about the NHS could you possibly follow me and share this, so I can try to find more? I’ll follow you back! Ju 💙💙💙

Elon Musk: Tech genius or dystopian tyrant? My deep dive uncovers the unsettling side of Musk's ventures—from greenwashing EVs to monopolising space tech. Here's why his unchecked power demands scrutiny: 🧵

AI replacing judges? #ElonMusk claims his Grok AI can render "extremely compelling legal verdicts" by training on all court cases. But imagine a future where Musk's AI is the Supreme Court. A thread on power, AI, and authoritarian control. 🧵

Worried about #ElonMusk buying influence in British politics? You're not alone. This is what wannabe dictators do: influence allies to ensure international support when they seize control at home. A thread on Musk, power, and geopolitics. 🧵

Not bad for an Aussie I think. www.fla-shop.com/visited-stat...

Hey #writingcommunity I have confirmed with the author Tessa Hale, that she does not have a Bluesky account. This account is a fake. I have reported it.

I’m struggling to find all of the lovely folk from Twitter/ X who care about the NHS. This is so important right now, because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor is running an important campaign involving 117 MPs already. Please could you help me to find everyone?🤞💙

there are things i’ve always done on social media that i’m not going to change quoting asshats is one of those things because putting light on bad behavior is better than ignoring it blocking is ignoring & no one ever learns you don’t have to do what i do but i also don’t have to do what you do

Without a doubt, Trump is the biggest threat to democracy in the US right now. The next four years are going to be tough. As an Australian with friends and family in the US, I've been watching and very vocal on Twitter. As much at that place is a dumpster fire, I'm still there to call out the BS /1

Just under 5k followers on the dumpster fire, formerly known as Twitter. I call out Elon for all his dumbfuckery. Under no illusion that he sees or cares, not why I do it. But, I get bugger all views on posts or comments. They clearly set the algorithm. Free speech, my ass x.com/JDArmstrong1...

one of the things i learned to hate most, living in ukraine just before the maidan revolution... it was everywhere, from the slick presidential helipads while people didn't have money for bread, to the bribes you had to pay to slick every administrative state interaction... it is so, so corrosive

Is this a roast? Or an assessment? 🤣🤣 blueskyroast.com/roast/jd-arm...

Lol

“Mainstream media is capitulating!” This feature is several years old… the “media” covered it in 2022 when the pilots began. Google News had featured Twitter previously, too… mixed opinions on it from users. This is a constant iterative design/product process. What a bizarre victory lap.

Let's welcome my friend Bluesky Fam. He's a good dude. Give him a wave and a follow if you like.

The meme I didn't know I needed

I’m fed up of hearing politicians and journalists talking about immigrants as if they’re not people. Repost if you agree!🚨🚨🚨

This is what abusers do. Abusive, controlling, narcissistic types always accuse others of what they do. Deflection tactics.

Now THAT is leadership. That is courage. That is standing for your principles in the face of danger, when it matters most.

(In case someone is reading this in the future without context: Everyone’s human rights are worthy of protection. Partly that’s self interest because an attack on anyone’s human rights is an attack on *your* human rights. Partly that’s a requirement for basic human decency.)

Okay, I created a starter pack. 🤷‍♂️. Lol. go.bsky.app/TD1mMUg

Started my Substack mostly out of fury if I’m honest, because I’d just finished my book about how politicians were destroying the NHS and still had so much to say. It’s just passed 20,000 subscribers and I can’t really believe that. I’ll keep writing for as long as you’d like to keep reading x
