I have an underdeveloped sense of panic and enthusiasm, and I never honk my horn in traffic

@sama Yeah, like how most food recipes typically assume you need the fastest way of cooking. But often the ingredient of time is what you need for the better meal.

Here's the thing: Humans will decide what's interesting.

As making stuff gets democratized and easier and we are flooded with "amazing", just remember that what we deem amazing tomorrow will not be what's commonplace.

So what you are actually generating is something closer to "meh!". Yes there's an exclamation mark cause it's still going to feel kinda amazing. But, it will more and more feel like just "meh".

So, I am all for developing and adopting these tools. But please ask yourself what will be amazing tomorrow, not today. And I suspect you'd want some constraints. Not saying you should go Dogme 95, but what's the Dogme 26? And should you be the voice of it?

For now I will continue to scroll past stuff that feels too generated. Not because I don't like it (I'm actually going to dive into Banano+Kling to be familiar) but to get a sense of what will catch attention after everyone tires of all this "amazing" stuff.

They will watch the documentary film about you one day. If no one else, your descendants who will unarchive all they can about you (for fun) and be able to generate that movie. So you better start micro-journaling now with memorist. That way you can set the story straight, or bend it however you want (wink wink).

Coming soon, the ability to post photos only. This would allow people who don't necessarily journal their lives today an easier point of entry. Then with that thought in mind about how you will craft the story of your life to said descendants may come easier in time.

One of the journaling prompts in memorist is "involuntary memory". When I woke up this morning it was of my grandparents who lived in the same house as me when I was little. If only they documented their lives in some way.

Anyway, it's Sunday. You get started -----> https://t.co/5ifDNVEHfg

@MyLordBebo That posture is dehumanizing.

@elonmusk @ImKingGinger Is it possible to focus robotic manufacturing first on essential goods to ease human transition?

[Ericson @__ericson]

@elonmusk Only disappointing part with Model Y is when the headlights turn on, below the light bar. It looks awful, like an afterthought. Needs to move up as part of the light bar.

@stevencheng This is exactly where I find myself. As a product designer I am finally able to build my ideas (pocket journaling app), but distribution is a sobering reality.

[Ericson @__ericson]

@elonmusk Which goods/manufacturing is using robotics to scale up and are now dropping prices? Does a POC exist yet?

[Ericson @__ericson]

memorist is launching on Product Hunt today. Please do the clicky thing.

Notice in this bar graph how rounded corners only appear when the corner happens to ‘stick out’. Also, instead of being a flat color, each bar is a partial gradient of a larger continuous spectrum. And it's dynamically re-calculated if I ever need to add yet another Mood to the list!

These are details that a designer would only go as far as rendering in most companies, if lucky it may get as far as being buried in a nice-to-have backlog. I’m not saying that these are necessarily good visual design decisions I am making, but I think every visual/UI designer should feel good to ask for way more than they have been given in the past. Way more.

People, they drift away.

Compare memorist to similar popular apps...

Does your therapist encourage journaling? Sending it ahead of time seems like a great way to make sessions more productive. Lets you share things in their original emotional temperature, not the cooled-down recap.

memorist can help you notice when friends drift away. Can nudge you to drift back and reconnect. And if they also had memorist in their pocket maybe they’ll do some of the drifting back as well.

Fresh new website launched. It's a good start. Ditched the react web app and went barebones instead. Optimizing for clarity and discoverability.
