@tjmiller.bsky.social Not sure what you are planning to charge for Iris, so not sure it's in my budget these days, but I am definitely interested in seeing it see the light of day! I feel you on the anxiety and second guessing yourself. If you need more encouragement: just do it!

what is the best speech to text app that you are using with your AI CLI tools?
recommend one that will work, I might go with the builtin dictation soon and test it

Today in brain-finger pipeline misadventures...
Intent: "I want to learn"
Typed: "I warn"
When I saw it, I froze. "Wait, what was I trying to type?" Where did "warn" even come from?!
Apparently my fingers just decided to skip "nt to le"?
Is this a thing other people experience?

A lot of “UX problems” are really default problems.
If a feature needs a tutorial, it’s usually missing a default.
A good default does 3 things:
1) shows what “good” looks like
2) reduces decisions
3) gets the user to a tiny win fast
Docs teach.
Defaults convert.

Got some advice from a designer a while back that’s stuck with me. I asked how I improve my sense of whether things are well-designed or not and he said: design is about making purposeful decisions. If you can find a purpose for something being the way it is, it is likely well-designed.

Fine tuning a model on my mac, it has been running for over 24h and still not finished.
My sample data consist of 800+ records and less than 900.
So this looks good but not so great 😅

Turns out building this as a Claude Code Skill was much better than N8N. Lesson learned.

I’m dreaming of an app where I start a session, I open a web page or a paper or an ebook, and I talk as I read. Ask questions, make notes, all natural language. At the end of the session the transcript gets saved into a summary note of the session linked to the media I was reading.
