Oops, I started a new project: Skyreader, an RSS reader on the AT Protocol. Share cool articles like it's 2010 and Google Reader would never die. https://t.co/m0DZSbLrnX

Big updates for Flint, my note-taking project. Spent the holidays reworking just about all of it. New UI. New backend. Now uses Automerge for a local-first foundation.

You can try it out right now in your browser: https://t.co/GOxjHiv5Ho

Blogged about my recent work on Flint. So much good stuff: review mode, EPUB/PDF/Web viewer, decks, open source, and more!

Also, Flint is now in open beta! Try it out if note-taking sounds interesting: https://t.co/WS4JYvtDPG

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).

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!

Wrote up how note-taking apps are kinda weird and how to design for that weirdness.

The app's core pillars are:
- You own your notes - plaintext, no lock-in
- A UI that is humane - surface appropriate abstractions + respect for how humans think
- Writing is thinking and you do the thinking - LLMs are useful magic but must not replace your writing/thinking

[Tim Disney @disnet]

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.

I’ve been experimenting with building a GTD system in plain text with Flint. I think it’s kinda neat.

Wrote about Flint Note. I've been chasing the perfect note-taking system for years but every tool eventually became a prison when my thinking changed. Built an MCP server to solve that - markdown + AI agents that adapt to your workflows.

I mean, it's a microservice, Michael, how much work could it do? One RPC?

Oh you’re sad about losing all your crypto? Sam Bankman-Fried just manslaughtered a trillion interstellar humanoids in the distant future — imagine how he’s feeling. Have some sympathy for once.

Factorio players are optimising their belt balancers by reducing belt balancing to SAT and feeding to a SAT solver. Fucking incredible
