🌱 As part of my fellowship research, I built a tiny experiment called Prune. It’s like journaling, but with branches.

Which tool (or mcp) have people had the most luck with in terms of adding knowledge/memory? I rolled my own a while ago but I often have to remind my app to remember something, which totally defeats the purpose.

you can just draw things

I have a project on product hunt today if anyone wants to show it a little love 🫠 www.producthunt.com/posts/teamso...

teamsort.world according to this open graph image you can create an instant, anonymous poll but I have doubts

Added a feedback page and a fuzzy open graph image to my recent side project teamsort.world

If one guy holds most of the tech people rely on, it is a vulnerability, but also it's one guy: as a global population we should be able to easily just take it from him, so it seems to me the real vulnerability is an internalized belief that private ownership is more sacrosanct than human thriving.

Techno Feudalism is incredible. Still working my way through it and will probably reread it too, but it has made me surer than ever that you can't put your energy (be it creativity, cultural artifacts or problem-solving/engineering) into systems you don't want to see reproduce

Other than boycotting businesses and calling representatives, have you found solid ways to resist the regime? I want to do more but I’m struggling on deciding what that “what” should be.

I've been delaying migrating flowchart.fun off of create-react-app for *checks notes* 4 years. It might be time 🫠

The ideal Platonic Borges vs Borges the corporeal human (ht @dabacon.bsky.social ):

the intersection of art and technology is an empty set

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

What are some good things you can do on the internet?

I feel like it's time for the wordpress equivalent of what replit is trying to do. Community-built, easily-installable custom apps

Structurally disciplined collective sense-making for civics is everyone’s problem because it’s been no one’s problem. News orgs can only make things that they can own and get credit for. Great people + small orgs work on pieces of it all the time, but the info environment…is what it is.

Working on a new project that investigates Community Notes on X. It's incredible when you look closely just how many bots there are. Bots on bots

hey hi hello how are you holding up

Haven't bought books in an embarrassingly long time. Big day!

I've always wanted to build tech for good. More and more it feels like the amount of harm done just by paying into things like AWS, G Suite, OpenAI, kind of outweighs any potential good a tool could do. Where to go? What to build?

To be slightly blunter than The Atlantic allowed me to be: the tiktok ban is a protectionist subsidy to Meta and Google worth hundreds of billions of dollars: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Building a recipe clipper with a focus-mode that allows navigating between steps with gestures so I can avoid touching my laptop while cooking :)

Built n app to learn solo's via youtube over break and then never shared until today on guitar reddit and people dig it! Posting here too learnasolo.com

design is feeling more and more like an MLM

I have wanted to see same-style thumbnail images for user-created content for so long. I finally had time to get it working on my spaced-repetition project and it turned out to be way more overwhelming than I expected 😅 Got to find a way to tone it down!

most exciting thing I've written in a while, state-machine based controller over the OpenAI Realtime API

Things are starting to take a weird turn for me and chat

Why are we making "MyComponent" and putting in a file named my-component.tsx? I'll never understand...

Messing around with a voice controlled spaced repetition flashcard app this weekend 😄

Lost more subscribers in one day than ever before (5! 😱) and I strangely don't mind. It's really hard not to tie your ego to the things you build and I've been working on separating the two for a while. Glad I've made some progress on that front 😅

The very concept of a “notification” is wild to me, like don’t talk to me

Quick spike: Durable Objects/PartyServers are the _perfect_ container for long running processes. So I ported vercel’s experimental typescript port of swarm (openai’s agent library), to run on them. Works great. github.com/threepointon... Thank you @lgrammel.bsky.social!

Man the technical debt is real. I identified every piece of interface across my entire app. So much design drift. Time to course correct.

"Intuitive design" is less about designing something that is intuitive and more about designing something that builds intuition through feedback loops. This distinction is especially important if you're building an innovative product, where prior intuition does not exist.
