speaking of chance discovery, what a great personal website! I love the daily virtues from the diary section.
I wrote this poem for my wife and read it during our vows. Sharing in case it resonates with others.
Enabling users at jumblejournal.org to journal by hand using openAI OCR. Also, for journal extraction of growth vectors
I strongly disagree with this whole sentiment. The vulnerable need actual protection, not perceived. Invention that is not grounded in reality won't work. Which grand vision starts from falsehood? A possibility not yet proven is not a lie, it's a potential. People united is not a fundamental virtue, people united under virtuous pretenses is of value; people united under a lie is more likely a cult, or a sick society.

The problem I had is that I have lots of books which I love to show friends, lend out and some I would sell but I only get a chance when friends visit. Therefore I wanted a digital library to show off my physical book shelf.Air Books let's you scan your home library with your phone camera and get a link to share with friends and family.There are many features to add like cover image, searching...
Charlie Munger lead an amazing life. I read his book and extracted the knowledge into categories using Tiddlywiki.
true, we host the vector DB in our own VPC. Obviously it requires trust between the customers and Jumble though. It's tricky, these technologies are cheap as a service, but very expensive for private instances.

It occurred to me that a personal diary/journal is one of the most interesting data sets for a vector embedding / chat context product. People express their hopes, dreams, fears and much more in their journal. A psychiatrist/psychologist/therapist would have many insights from reading a journal.So this is what I'm trying to build at Jumble Journal. We enable people to chat with their past...
We are building Talenter, a tool where developers can create a private page for recruiters to chat and ask questions of a virtual candidate. Recruiters can pre-screen candidates, and leverage the database to find a perfect match to their job description.

I am reading The Story of Civilization by William and Ariel Durant and sharing some of what I learn.
agree; I like to have a record of what I did -- I do this in the evening via a bullet journal. I write the emotional stuff in the morning long hand
it's definitely valid to mix the two; the article is just one way to categorise which is subjective; but it is a mental model I found helps to keep in mind for my own journaling practice
thanks for the recommendation; I didn't know about this book, will give it a read

We will build some unique functionality that is different from the value proposition at DayOne
Interesting, seems the web app space is continuing to encroach on apps as they two converge.
same reason for anything cloud based. Sync between accounts, take the responsibility of data storage off the user.
Looks really interesting. Are you affiliated? I will check it out.
yeah, perhaps client-side encryption or User encryption ownership or something along those lines.
To me, "encrypted storage" doesn't sound like anything different that what is done with normal authentication methods.
Thanks a lot for the encouragement; but also I really appreciate the honest feedback, it wouldn't be hacker news if people stopped being honest, it's why we all love the conversations here.
I agree the primary appeal (and thus market) of this app is not technical, but of course it's still important that the technical aspects are vetted and secure.
Maybe zero-knowledge should be open sourced, built from source by users as a desktop app (so they can lock to a version), and each version should be stamped (hash of specific version signed) by trusted 3rd party penetration testing agency -- it does limit the reach of the product though
and it's completely ok, I love hacker news because it's one of the more honest places on the internet.
You are right, I get what you are saying. But I guess I'm speaking more from a user perspective. Some people have told me they can't write down private things in a physical journal; as someone they are living with can easily pick it up and read it. In theory, a digital copy can be secured with more confidence than a physical copy ... for example by encrypting things with a key that you're confident only you have access to. I think I should have said that one benefit of "digital" is the potential for increased security ... online is clearly not the case.
