Tony Stark had a cool single point of entry for everything he did (Jarvis). Why don’t I have that? This is a series of mini-projects where I hack away at my personal work environment, connecting every data source I can think of in an easy to use way so that I can experiment more. The phrase ‘learning to fly by not hitting the ground’ comes to mind.
Integrated with ChatGPT as a plugin, moved some stuff around, made a blog. Integrated with WhatsApp and Twitter posting.
Not much progress this week. I got a test/dev version and a prod version running with deploy scripts. I just hacked in multi-language translation, still needs clean up. Still feels like its missing something to be truly useful. I feel uncertain about the data being saved, not sure why. Maybe because its too uncategorized and theres 0 extraction? Definitely certain types of thoughts don’t feel comfortable in there.
This week I focussed on expanding my cloud suit to my local apps. I now have an iOS app, a macOS app and a shell entry point. All of these are quick and easy to access - hotkey for my mac app, alias for my shell app. It was a huge hassle to try connect everything to a shared TS library because JS module system is a mess. Once I got modules working, I really struggled to get a coherent solution for shared secrets. Finally I gave up and decided that shared secrets is not that important. I just wanted to get thought publishing working from phone & from desktop. It breaks my flow to not be able to write a quick thought somewhere, in a manner that lets me sort the thoughts later. I will be experimenting with that concept by building some cool tools. Stay tuned!
