My workflow automatically syncs the GitHub stars with my Obsidian vault, but sometimes people move on or the software loses relevance.
This script is meant to be run manually every once in a while as an habit to look back at what is no longer useful to keep, and quickly delete it.
That's why you get a csv that you can call `cemetery-of-dead-stars.csv`.

if you use @NetNewsWire and @obsidian , I've got something for you.
It's a tiny script that runs in the background and saves starred articles as #markdown clippings

Vibe coding for fun and no profit

I wrote my first programme at 9 on an Olivetti PC1. Now anyone can build an app by talking to an AI. But when everyone solves their own problems, who's left to solve ours?

Vibe coding for fun and no profit

Apps don't shake systemic dogmas. People do. A post about what vibe coding can and can't fix — and why it's a good time for PR.

I am loving the Lost Post app, it's what the web needs right now. You get a prompt to write a postcard, and the next day, you get someone else's postcard. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lost-post-daily-world-stories/id6755685223

Keeping up with the AI Hype

Everyone stopped talking about AGI. Nobody agreed on a definition and reality wasn't meeting expectations. But agents are showing good results. One of them already wrote a blog post complaining about the humans who wouldn't accept its pull request.

@brentsimmons maybe you know what i am doing wrong. The rss feed for the #clinicaltrials on @gregory_ms tend to pop up again as unread. Is it because the body of the item was updated? I coded the rss with django so I may have made a few mistakes.
This is pretty cool, an app that nudges you to keep a healthy posture while using your laptop. https://github.com/tldev/posturr
