All I wanted for Christmas was a kanban board for agents.

Move the task into "Doing" to spawn new agent with context to complete the task. Agent moves task to "Done" when finished and tested.

Context is stored in project ledgers for later use.

Internet handle, #atproto handle, love it but I cannot open it.

If the user doesn’t add the link in the description I’ve to manually type the domain in my browser to visit the personal page. Also I can’t copy it.

Would not be good if it opens a browser page with the domain when I click the handle?

Your ebook highlights are trapped in proprietary formats. Kobo, Kindle, Apple Books, none make exporting easy. Data gets lost when devices break or platforms die.

Liture is a free desktop app that imports and manage your highlights and notes locally.

Obsidian is really a great software. I always have it open, it’s like vscode but for writing.

What’s missing? Integrated agents. 🧵
what's one improvement you'd like to see in @obsidian.md in 2026?

How to disable autocomplete on Notes? It's frustrating

Definitely deserves the fame. I played it on Switch and the new redrawn art gives it a fairly modern feeling.
Finally righted a wrong & played Braid (2008). I knew the general outline of the twist, but it was executed so well! I would have loved to have experienced it truly blind.

Puzzles were great. Even for a game more than 15 years old they felt fresh and innovative.

Cool stuff. Try Braid or whatever.
