If Anthropic come up with a classifier model smaller than Haiku, Lune would be the perfect name.

@AnxiousHolly I will never understand the Android hype

[Akintayo The Overlander @akintayo074]

@brexton @NotionHQ Agreed!

[Akintayo The Overlander @akintayo074]

@snorklTV Yeahh I get it. For what it's worth though, I'm a huge fan of your GSAP courses!

[Akintayo The Overlander @akintayo074]

@snorklTV Hmm, I get it. Kind of a loss in intellectual property huh?

@TomFrankly My brother can't stop raving about this book! What did you think?

Passion: intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction

There is no successor to the smartphone. It's the terminal form factor. Much like the car is the terminal form factor for human transportation.

Tesla has improved 1000x over the Model T but you still have the same cab riding on four wheels, because it's the optimal solution given the jobs to be done and constraints of reality.

The smartphone has the most intense product market fit of any product ever for a reason: a computer you carry in your pocket and hold in your hand, with a screen you manipulate with your fingers, cannot be meaningfully improved upon for the jobs people want done.

This doesn't mean there's not room for awesome new devices, especially with AI opening up new vistas.

We have motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, e-bikes, and those funny one-wheeled vehicles you see whizzing through Golden Gate Park.

We will have smart glasses, pendants, pucks, and whatever device Hark has in store.

Hark seems like an S-tier team with an amazing vision, and I will probably buy their product. Moreover, I wouldn't want to live in a world where crazy ambitious visions aren't pursued with convert's zeal.

Nevertheless, I'm writing this because every time I see a venture that explicitly or implicitly promises to supersede the smartphone, I think the same thing:

It wouldn't matter if Jony Ive teamed up with the ghost of Steve Jobs and raised an army of the greatest HCI designers that ever walked the earth. It's structural. The smartphone is terminal.

Cool! @raycast

Love this!

Now in beta: Notion as code.

Define an entire workspace in TypeScript: teamspaces, databases, custom agents, all of it… then deploy it through the API.

Build workspaces with coding agents, version-control your setup in git, and reproduce the same setup anywhere you need it.
