While I use Claude a lot for my Omarchy plugins and Linux optimization/failure detection, I don’t use it for writing and note-taking, especially for coming up with unique ideas and driving them home by writing them through to the end.
It's so hard to finish an idea that is not yours and is just suggested by AI.
Only thing missing is a Screener, which once you have it, you cant live without. No need for burner adresses, as nobod lands in your inbox unapproves. I added it to my TUI, nvim and markdown first email client, neomd.
this is great to see! I used SeaweedFS in the meantime; it worked great too, and there are some other great alternatives [1], but I'm glad the original MinIO version continues. Gonna try this soon.
SeaweedFS is also great and would try it if I had a greenfield project. However
I had a very big installation of Minio already so trying to move it to anoyther system would be very difficult and dangerous (and would probably need a lot of downtime). So Silo was a godsend!
I think that happens already with email. I get a ton of same emails "want to join my podcast" or "see my product" based on some github projects I did or so, clearly all ai written. Important to have a good screener in your email.
author here, this is the differentiation I meant, and I didn't make it clear enough before - I added now a callout to clarify this more:
> To me, vacations are too short to turn off completely. Here, where I live, we have 5 weeks a year, if you are lucky, you can take three in a row in summer. But having two months or more, it’s completely different. Your mind will take time to turn off, to shut down from everyday life, and that’s when the benefit of new ideas comes, usually out of the blue, not forced just because your mind and body are resting from work and everything else.
The takeaway should be to show how note-taking, publishing notes with a single #hashtag (no formatting needed or conversion), and doing so over a long time can compound to help write-inspired blog posts or even chapters of a later book. Not sure if that is enough, but I thought it might be interesting. I did the first commit to my SB on GitHub since 2022-08-30.
Oh, true, the explorer is actually not huge, it's more an example where I tried to improve the usage of public notes, with the help of AI (good catch! :D). I probably shouldn't have included it. I wrote a full article with more details on how I did it: https://www.ssp.sh/blog/obsidian-rag-duckdb-sql/
No, i get it but I think you're kind of overvaluing the utility of this. Think about it - the best work by the smartest people in the world is available for free but most of the world don't even look at it. Expecting someone to explore your second brain is a bit too much to expect imo unless you provide a very strong case (say this was Ernest Hemingway's second brain, I would say there is value in something like that from a research pov).
this is all free, open-source, and I'm just sharing, so no need to go there if you don't like it :0. you can check it out, or not, up to you. maybe helpful to someone else
Just because something is free and open-source doesn't mean its useful or has any value though, right? And yeah I shared my feedback on a post where you specifically asked for feedback.
