Blogged about how I'm designing Flint to make note capture as zero-friction as possible. The key is designing for different organizing time horizons (defer but track).
Also, Flint is now in open beta! Try it out if note-taking sounds interesting: www.flintnote.com

How Flint Helps You Externalize
Learn how Flint's design minimizes friction in note-taking by deferring organizational decisions and providing a zero-decision capture space for your ideas.

Same. Claude has basically replaced the todo list on my phone. Great idea while out and about? Just kick off a Claude session and at the very least I'll have an interesting plan to tweak later.
I think one of the underrated things about LLMs for coding is that they make writing code on a mobile phone massively more feasible
I can build small but useful pieces of software entirely on my phone now - without even needing to pay full attention, so it's compatible with being out in the world

Flint is really coming together. My Thanksgiving week project was adding experimental EPUB support. Now you can highlight and chat with the LLM about your books!

I hope as we move past the first wave of AI criticism ("it doesn't work, all hype") we get a new wave of AI criticism rooted in the acknowledgement that, yes, these systems are very powerful & quite useful and focusing a deep exploration of when AI uses are uplifting and when they are detrimental.

Wrote about a new project I'm working on. It's a note-taking/thinking-system app that evolved out of an experiment with using just an MCP server for taking notes. Turns out you need a UI.

‘Blueskyism’, Political Violence, and Open Social Networks Under Authoritarianism
After Kirk's murder, calls for censorship and the crackdown on political places started to include Bluesky. Open social networks must now fight political suppression as well as platform monopolies.

Was on a support chat to replace a failing monitor today and it's oddly comforting to see slightly awkward english phrasing and realize they haven't been replaced by an LLM.
"Be assured i will help you with the resolution."
You know what? As a matter of fact I am assured.
