Reminds me think of this youth, bouncing on one[0].

This is just the kind of thing I love about the open internet: the insane amount of art available in archives, (e.g. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/, https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en, the Met, etc).

Adding this to the list for one of my side projects[0].

Aha, once you start seeing via negativa[0] you’ll likely see it everywhere.

Those interested may find Dominion[0] an excellent read.

So cool!

It recently dawned on me how we have a staggering amount of art available in these archives (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/, https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en, the Met, etc). It's truly staggering. Can't wait to use these images for my side project[0].

Appreciate it :)

At its heart, this was borne out of a desire to fashion technology to help integrate us, enabling a tiny bit more proximity and place amongst our fellows, rather than "uproot" it (as we can all too easily disintegrate, and treat ourselves as purely online beings in incorporeal cyberspace).

Think "Small Is Beautiful" (or really anything by Wendell Berry).

Done! https://fieldnote.ink/about

Appreciate you looking & for the candid feedback-- this is a rough "first draft".

Apologies for the confusion-- just added a short "about" section: https://fieldnote.ink/about.

I appreciate you taking a look and for your feedback!

You can now! Just added-- this is a very rough first cut :)

Thank you taking a look and for dropping feedback!

Oh I didn't realize-- sorry about that!

Hi HN!

I've come to think that in the future, the bottlenecks in the development lifecycle will mostly be related to the decisions of Product. In other words, if nearly everything is cloneable by Claude, CRUD is no longer a moat.

So: in the "efficient cloning market" hypothesis, everything able to be eaten by mimesis, who pushes the limits of "craft and beauty"?

Therefore, I've been wanting to grow in my sense of taste: having a palate for beautiful things and letting more of my life be characterized by their presence.

To that end, I built Flâneur; it's a simple site / newsletter that delivers a handful of beautiful things from museum archives across the world. It's very simple, but I found it to be a delight to work on and use.

Do have a look and send me your thoughts. Cheers! sm

I'm sorry to say this exists: https://socialai.co

You, yes, you, can still do anything at https://zombo.com.

Have been going through The Divine Comedy this year as a part of https://100daysofdante.com, cannot recommend enough!

One of my first memories is of my dad showing me how Oscar the Grouch was in his Mac trash can, and sang, “I love trash!” when he put something in there. Haven’t thought of that in many years, but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

Congrats Tiptap folks!

I was just playing around with Tiptap last week and build a (very dumb) AI rephrasing app here: https://authored.co. Took a bit to get used to the ProseMirror API, but was a fun experience!

This is exactly what I've been after with my side projects. Thanks for the encouragement to continue even when things are slow-going, makes me remember it's a feature not a bug.

Awesome read! You should write on Storylocks :)

Lovely article. As an aside (and I'll say this until I'm blue in the face), it always jars me when a site hijacks default browser scrolling functionality.

This is awesome! I had a similar thought with my own site I got started on at the beginning of Covid: Storylocks [https://storylocks.com]. It has nowhere near the level of intricacy that your site has it seems, but really cool to see other folks experiment in a similar way!
