I created a Blue Sky account to share my journey as I build an app that hopefully turns into a startup. I begrudgingly also started an X account at the same time, but I've never actually posted. Today I got banned on X for "Inauthentic Behaviour". As you can imagine, I'm absolutely devastated.

Today I hit my first internal dev milestone, whereby I no longer need to rely on thinking and planning in another app, because my thought process is able to live in Koan. The AI is able to suggest insights without cognitive outsourcing or loss of flow. Progress!

My app, Koan, visualises your thought process on a canvas.
My challenge for today has been wrestling with visualising k-neighbours and node ‘mass’ in a way that a user can understand and set manually. After a quick test, hypothesis is wrong, and Koan auto sets. Small feedback loops ftw.

Hello World 👋. Adding my voice to the world’s town squares / echo chambers to map my journey of solo founding the app I’ve always wanted. #BuildInPublic is daunting, but hopefully it’ll be rewarding.
