I spent the last month building the todo app I've always wanted. Tasks, projects and areas are all just local markdown files, but I have fit-for-context interfaces for working with them: Desktop app, CLI, Claude Plugin, Obsidian Plugin etc.

AI slop is filling the internet. I want more humans writing on their own websites.
So I made Astro Editor — a free macOS app for writing markdown & MDX in Astro content collections.
Basically iA Writer for @astrodotbuild 🎉

The latest release has an experimental windows 7 Linux builds in it. I can't test myself (I don't have those OSs) but if you fancy trying it out you can grab the MSI or AppImage here: github.com/dannysmith/astro-…
(Or build main from source if that doesn't work)

So I released Astro Editor 1.0.0 last week. Just catching up on my RSS feeds and noticed this in the @astrodotbuild monthly newsletter 🥳
astro.build/blog/whats-new-n…
ALT Screnshot of Astro Blog: "Manage your content on MacOS with Astro Editor made for Astro content collections. Get validation, cross-collection references, image fields with previews, and multi-framework MDX components — all in a beautiful interface inspired by iA Writer."

When the first iron bridge was made (creatively named Iron Bridge) in 1781, no one knew how to build with iron, so the builders used traditional woodworking methods, like dovetail joints
Thats the place we are using AI now, replicating old approaches until we figure out new ones

They need to create a Pulitzer category for headlines just for whoever wrote this.
This basically looks the same as London now? With a bit less traffic and fewer road markings?

To those who are pleased HS2 has been cancelled in favour of improving local trains, I say the following… The ***ENTIRE POINT*** of HS2 was to free up space on the Victorian network ***SPECIFICALLY*** in order to improve local trains!!!

Optimism predicts victory.
This study of 908k US Army soldiers found that optimism and positivity was a significant predictor of winning awards over the following four years, and negative affect lowered the chance of receiving one. Results held across gender, race, and rank.

Me: Hey, ChatGPT with Code Interpreter, use code to create visualizations of multiple theoretical FTL options out of science fiction. Make them into a single cool GIF
AI: Sure, here is a warp drive with warp bubble from Star Trek, a hyperspace jump from Star Wars and a wormhole.

NEW: last week a group of US hardline conservatives brought the National Conservatism conference to London. It fell completely flat. Why?
Because Britain and America are completely different societies.
Key chart: UK Cons are *way* more liberal than US Reps on ~every measure.

In this study, AI was more accurate than two thirds of radiologists, yet when radiologists had AI help their diagnoses did not improve. Why?
Humans ignored the AI’s advice when it conflicted with their views. A big barrier to future human-AI collaboration blueprintcdn.com/wp-content/…
