Good to hear it - thanks for the reply and if you're on that team, congrats on the release.

fair point.

First release in over a year! I had left ST when I felt that there wasn't the will or resources to address basic usability things like https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/328

If anyone is following along in the forums and understands the health of the team behind the product, could you give us a read on the prospective longterm health of the product? Most in my circle thing ST is dead or abandoned.

The library where the discovery was made:

I’m hoping that a full scan appears in the archive linked at the bottom of the page. I’m a composer and still hand-notate in a notebook. It’s so cool to the penmanship of someone writing in notebooks so quickly yet cleanly. In case you didn’t read, the contents are primarily exercises in composition where Mozart began a passage, the student continued, and Mozart corrected / guided the students work where needed. So there’s a higher percentage of Mozart in the pieces here than not. Like Brundlefly.

Yep absolutely agree. I’m saving this comment in my journal.

Psyched to try kan - thx.

+1 for Kari. You’ll find smaller, less SEO’d sites favored in their search results.

I’ve always enjoyed your curation, especially in the music department. Thanks so much!

I’m not a game designer, but 15 years after initially reading it, Jesse Schell’s “The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses” really sticks with me in any product design context. Organizing your thoughts around the lenses presented in this book makes for productive discussion, and can turn subjective points (an example might be how frictionless or not a UI element might be) into more objective points. I suggest checking it out. The author posted a deck of the lenses here: https://deck.artofgamedesign.com

Very creative guy operating this site (look at this! https://timthompson.com/spacepalette/) though it looks like it’s been idle the past 4 years or so? The live-coding community around tidal cycles will point you to a the fruit of missing projects like tidal-cycles and strudel. A strong inviting community: https://club.tidalcycles.org/

‘Your own enjoyment’ is a rich reward. My unsolicited advice: Try making a mess with it everyday for a week / month / year and see if you don’t start to appreciate something in what you make. Orca is a brilliant piece of work.

Sorry in advance for a short rant: This might be to be the most ‘no sh!t Sherlock’ obvious thing I’ve seen Seth write, and there is stiff competition in other posts of his. Am I the only one who sees civilization in decline reading something so obvious? ;) basically: Art (all culture?) traditionally disseminates at the whim of those controlling distribution channels. Always has been the case, always will be. You can choose a partner to disseminate or DIY, which the internet made way easier. Of course. It doesn’t need this new name “carriage”.

Same - maybe no one’s tested it on the aura HD yet?

Rakuten, the company behind kobo, has always tolerated hacking their devices, so there are several options, including KOReader, Plato and the subject here, Quill. Personally I think Kobo is your best option, if i understand your ‘open OS’ requirement.

What a solid piece of writing. I’m Gen X, and have talked with my siblings about the online realities my teenage nieces and nephews face, and it’s hard not to come to the conclusion the author comes to in the last paragraph. Along the way, though, there was framing of a lot of points that I’ve struggled to find the right words for. So, bravo.

Thanks for the reco for pocgtfo. I had no idea.

Stunning pictures - thank you for sharing these. And I thought October on the Olympic Peninsula was darks & rainy! The sheer cliff faces brought to mind so many cinematic moments - seems like a Herzog film waiting to be made. How many of the islands did you visit?

Nice succinct read outlining something I think a lot of people are aware of, but don’t often describe. It’s my first time reading Indie Hacker, and I think there’s nice balance of quality, depth, and brevity that you’re trying to strike?

I recently watched a YouTube on cultural communication pathways, and there was a comparison of “engineered communication” being a top down approach, as opposed to a gardening approach to communication being a bottoms up approach; one being predictable with measurable outcomes, and the other being organic and unpredictable. In gardening we plant seeds, help them germinate, watch them grow. A lot of the articles on Indie hackers seem to be planting seeds, which I appreciate. I wish HN would see value in a range of articles, and not skew to preferring engineered rigid predictability. Pardon the overstatement but you get my drift.

A great read, and an objective breakdown of the real world cost of living. Thank you. I'm surprised and kind of grossed-out how criticisms here of the word homelessness have skewed the spirit of the peace.

I read empathy with those in crisis. In Seattle, WA, USA there are many encampments applying what you're learned by doing, and your risk mitigation thoughts unpack this. You have the clear advantage of fallback support, which of course makes this an experiment as opposed to anything more, as you say in the title.

Re: being disappointed in many of the comments here: If you're looking for a culture-war point to make, you can find it. Please don't always go there - consider that the author may not be aimed in the direction you perceive. I recommend listening to David Foster Wallace's "This is Water" speech on YouTube or elsewhere - way better than Infinite Jest.

This made me so happy. Too many good quotes.

This is a good snapshot of the landscape for those wondering who’s competing in this space - I bookmarked it for that reason. I’m left wondering who the intended audience is for this - devs with no xp or experienced devs looking to leverage new toolkits. Though the former is implied, it seems like the latter is the case.

This comment thread and this author are mostly experienced devs. Obviously, Automating the first 80% of development this way, you get less happy accidents and less rabbitholing on minutiae which make you a stronger programmer, and give joy. But dang, you get a lot of joy from finishing something too.

And also obvious is the cost of deploying and maintaining. All the SDLC things that come with releasing a product are out of scope here, but that’s likely temporary. It would be great to have assisted deploy build pipeline development I can trust in a product that has a complex blend of old, new, in-house and proprietary service development.

Coffee’s still kicking in. These are my thoughts.

I agree with you on rss 100%.

I really enjoyed this and the ensuing conversation here. Great list of links at the end too! Always looking for things to bookmark as inspiring motivators on days when it all feels pointless - this is going on the list.

This feels right. I wonder if it’s true.

I like it because the submissions are easy and I think curated / QC’d. I thought Kagi was going to do more with https://kagi.com/smallweb but it’s kind of like going to https://wiby.me/ and hitting “surprise me”, which everyone should do at least once a day.

I just have bookmarks to directory sites, as you say, like https://ooh.directory/

1. I’ve been using Joplin across apple and Linux footprints since 2016. Laurent is a very attentive maintainer and the community forum is very active and reactive when you need them. I’m very satisfied. Ui serves my needs, plugins can be developed when I need to do something domain specific (mermaid, plantuml). I like markdown.

I use pen and paper continuously everyday, and snap pictures of journal pages in the Joplin. Mobile app when need be.

3. Not sure what additional you’d be looking for here.

4. I don’t expect my note taking app to be Jira if that’s the thrust on q 4.

5. Roughly 1/3rd is summarizing citations from the web or other sources.

Thx for listening!

“ There remains a strange relation to the poems I have already written. Though they were written to create or affirm my existence, they did not, once they were finished, continue to do so. What they suggested, when I read them afterward, was that I had once existed and had thoughts; something that had been alive and specific was now silent or vanished. So the poems became a kind of chastisement, taunting reminders of what was not.”

Looking back on previous writing can also be a positive reinforcement, though yeah sometimes you feel taunted, or that you could’ve done better. And small though it may feel, writing is action. You didn’t just let thing bounce around in your head, you wrote it out - you did something. My hot take on this this morning - I liked this read, thanks for posting.

I really like your esthetic, and look forward to reading more of your open garage thoughts!

Unpacking your state of mind as you try to be vulnerable in your journaling in your coffee shop mode post - something I deeply relate to. Nice to see this up front this morning. https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/sketch-enso-coffeeshop-mode...
