I’d appreciate a writeup! I’d like to implement this myself, maybe add reminders.

>without the hassle of creating new notes or organizing folders

Have you missed this part?


Not the OP but I share the sentiment. Doesn't everyone have a default text editor with a Ctrl-N shortcut or equivalent to create an empty text file? That's what I do every time I need to create a quick note. Maybe I don't spend as much time in the browser as everyone else.


So to avoid the hassle of organising folders, you create an editor with only a single folder that has 8 files in it? I can replicate this in a normal text editor by simply using only one folder with 8 files in it. For advanced CLI users, an even simpler (and arguably better) solution to this problem exists:

  vim notes/"$(date -Iminutes)".txt      # author a new note
  vim notes/"$(ls notes | tac | sed 8q)" # edit the 8 most recent notes, starting from newest


I get your point and I agree.


NFC tags can be scanned using a phone. An app on the phone can then detect the action and act accordingly. The phone can differentiate between different tags.

I use an NFC tag to lock the house using Home Assistant.


OK. Why not just tap "lock the house" on your screen? Or use a voice interface (which requires zero extra hardware)?


I like the hardware aspect, it feels very intentional and deliberate for context switching.


So if I understand correctly, this should be comparable to what Tailscale is doing?


You can achieve a similar effect with both, yes. However, they fundamentally work differently.

Tailscale (e.g. wireguard) is a way to create a virtual private network between two (or more) machines. This means they can pretend they are on the same network, even if they are physically on different networks. Now, having them on the same (virtual) network, means you can open up the firewall on the target machine (for that specific network), and access services that are running there. You'll still need to use the other machine's IP address/name on that network to access it.

connet on the other hand is more like a projection (or tunnel) - it opens up a TCP listener on your local machine, and internally forwards all connections and traffic to the TCP listener that is running on the remote machine. At your local machine, it looks like you are running the target service locally, and you access it via localhost.

I hope this explains how is connet different from Tailscale, thanks for checking it out!


After watching the video, I think this is an exciting experiment to see if there exist better ways to control PCs without a mouse and just a keyboard. The standard of today being keyboard shortcuts.


How does it compare to Zig? Does it inherit C macros?

Chosing Discord was a deliberate choice. I remember when Serenity was using IRC as the only communication channel and immediately after setting up a new Discord server the community gravitated towards it. Infact, the number of community members sky rocketed.

The fact is, Discord as a platform is more accessible compared to IRC.


> The fact is, Discord as a platform is more accessible compared to IRC.

Guess it depends on what you mean with "accessible". In terms of accessibility for impaired users, IRC is a open protocol vs a service that disallows 3rd party clients. I'm sure there exists better options for IRC than Discord, and at the very least, IRC allows you to access it however you want, be it visual, textual, voice control or whatever.

Besides, Discord being a US company, need to prevent users from Cuba, Iran, Syria (and NK) and is also banned in a bunch of countries like China, UAE and Egypt. So in that sense, Discord seems less accessible than IRC.

Only remaining part is that Discord has a somewhat easier "getting setup" UX than IRC for younger users, as it's more similar to the type of services they're probably already use.


Sounds like someone should work on Discord-ifying IRC to make it more palatable for the modern user.


That would be Matrix.


I can relate to this. Could you point me to any resources about keto diets?


https://www.metabolicmind.org is a non profit, with many MDs and PHDs dedicated to researching the link between metabolism and mental health, with a focus on keto diets.

This reminds me of Five Nights at Freddy's animatronics mistaking a human for an endoskeleton and murdering the human by shoving them into a suit [0]. Didn't think this could happen for real.
