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://skyreader.app/

Starting some 2025 reflection posts on my blog (little late but ah well). First up: books I read. "The Unaccountability Machine", "Deep Response", "Abundance", "More Everything Forever", "Termination Shock", "Frankenstein"

New Year, New Flint

Big rework of Flint including updates to UI, new Automerge data layer, and a web version.

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://app.flintnote.com

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

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).

Also, Flint is now in open beta! Try it out if note-taking sounds interesting: https://www.flintnote.com/

Flint - Ignite deep knowledge

Flint is a note-taking app that helps you capture ideas, connect them together, and make them part of how you think

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
