so cozy ✨

omg breadcrum looks lovely! been looking for a power-user bookmarking solution just like this ✨

if you want a google-like experience without any of the junk, I’d recommend @kagi.com — it’s paid, but is totally worth it if you’re sick of google

if you’re looking to experiment a bit, perplexity.ai is a great next-gen ai powered search engine — think if chatgpt and google had a baby

100% agree! I haven’t been able to stick to using a dumb phone myself for that reason

our positioning for the phone-like thing we’re building is that it should be “smarter than a light phone, but dumber than an iphone”. the goldilocks zone lies somewhere in between — hope we can find it!

though totally understand this might not be representative of your experience with the daylight as it stands today!

all I can say to that i hope you stick with us, cause there’s a lot of exciting stuff in the pipeline coming v soon :))

although one area where dumb devices can be incredibly effective is with kids. there’s a whole generation of parents who’d rather not raise ipad babies and is looking for healthier alternatives.

— and kids have no choice when it comes to using a dumb device, cause the parents are the ones in charge

here’s a good example of one of those augmenting workflows which you wouldn’t see in a dumb device —

x.com/daylightco/s...

traditional dumb phones only subtract — which i agree has v limited impact if you’re already addicted.

but our thinking is to not only subtract the crap, but add + augment where current tools are severely limited (ie. kindle / remarkable)

so far we’ve only built (1), and (2) is under development.

— without (2), i definitely understand how it does feel like a dumb device, but any focus / distraction benefits are ancillary.

tbh, the goal was never to build a distraction free device! the main goals were:

1) build a display that feels like a magical piece of paper

2) build the best software for knowledge work — a space for your best thinking / deep work

🙏🌻✨

ah, Neo4j!! excited to finally have a viable alternative

can’t share much on the details yet — but it’s def on the roadmap!
