Cortex

Cortex is the command center for your online life

Another impersonator account I just flagged, this time trying to impersonate my project/account whose real account is @withcortex

Stay safe! 🙏

New on @withcortex Chat: Analyze Cast! Enter a Farcaster cast hash or @warpcast_/@superonfc/Recaster cast link and Cortex will summarize the thread and its context

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

Announcing @withcortex Chat -- a Perplexity-style chatbot for @farcaster_xyz / onchain data! Ask it questions such as:
- Show me upcoming Farcaster events
- Which @clankeronbase tokens are trending?
- What's going on in the /frames-v2 channel?

Link & more info in the next tweet

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

Now supporting live token chart/info embeds using @GeckoTerminal!

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

More features in the works for the upcoming @withcortex release: trending token support in Chat and a mobile first, no-code V2 Frame builder

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

Catching up on Farcaster related news(bounties, events, casts etc) this morning using the new tool integrations on @withcortex (coming soon)

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

Part of the reason I wanted to bring it up is that this framework excited me so much that I'm using it to build @withcortex, a community-focused @farcaster_xyz client(pivoted a bit after researching Notion-style blocks)

I know it's still in beta but I've really enjoyed using it!

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

Here’s an overview of the @withcortex Chrome extension I’ve been building on to display Farcaster ecosystem blocks, here’s what I have so far:
- all composer actions
- @icebreaker_xyz FC user profiles
- @unlonely_app streams
- @paragraph_xyz trending

Lmk what you’d want next!

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

Just posted a one pager for a new project I've spent all summer working on --@withcortex, Notion-style blocks for @farcaster_xyz ecosystem data

Read in the next post to learn more about why I'm excited about mini-apps and Farcaster data composability, and I'll be posting more!

(New one next week, similar stuff but with a new flavor 😉)

One last look at the site before it's gone!

What's been going on with @withcortex? Learn more about its progress in this week's @_buildspace @_nightsweekends update video!

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

@_buildspace @_nightsweekends Wanted to share a sneak peek of what @withcortex has been up to in advance of the program's start 👀

What if your browser had control over the commands you can take on each website? 🤔

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

Finally publishing my first video essay!

Giving my take on how I think the Internet will become a part of the operating system. Wanted to formalize a speech I'd been giving on many Zooms & share it broadly.

Want to see Reader in action? Watch this demo: https://t.co/4k3LI1K1ZX

[Cortex @withcortex]

We’ve been building something…

What if you could visualize and better navigate the trails that you browse? That’s what we’re trying to do with Reader.

Sign up for the alpha: https://t.co/6cWQQN8FLp

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

I'm finally pulling the curtain down on a brand new @withcortex experiment!

Meet Reader -- a news reader that visualizes your browsing history. Build your own feed and browse content in trails instead of tabs and windows.

Watch the demo here: https://t.co/ikFXhrtc8w

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

What if we had a canvas to explore the trails that we struggle to navigate when browsing Twitter?

I placed an old "Memex Drama" thread from @marcinignac on a new @withcortex interface I'm finishing up -- resulting in an experience that's a breeze for users to fly through

[Cortex @withcortex]

On the horizon for 2022:
- Launch of Cortex 0.1 and The Road to 1.0
- Building in public
- Community engagement(info coming soon 🤫)

Appreciate all of the support and can't wait to share more soon.

Happy New Year! 🥳

[Cortex @withcortex]

2021 was a year of learning for Cortex [1/3]:

Jan/Mar - Launched MVPs to make knowledge graphs more portable

Apr/Jun - Took a step back to research knowledge graph architecture

It helped tons to work with knowledge graphs outside of "note-taking" tools https://t.co/5GhQsjLHWg

[dylan @Dylan_Steck]

This is a key issue of graph portability. I love Roam — it helps me explain my thoughts and learnings better to myself — but it takes a lot of effort to add new imports, export parts of my graph, work with others, etc. I love structured writing and backlinks, just not the UI.

[Cortex @withcortex]

[2/3]
Jul/Sept - Building out the UI/UX

Oct/Dec - Grinding out version 0.1

Cortex's goal has always been to make end-user programming effortless, and the launches planned are only the start of our mission:

What if you could sort and analyze live transactions without messy spreadsheets?

@withcortex 0.1 coming very soon...
