I have seen a lot of book applications coming out lately, 3D bookstores using three.js, book notetakers, aggregators of public domain books, social publishing applications, and others. This seems ready made because recipes can easily be compiled. It is an interesting idea.

The actual work is relaxing. Unfortunatley, the poltics around the work have become far from relaxing. I work with government and there have been many attempts to defund libraries recently as well as government agencies related to libraries. It is challenging enough to consider the private sector. This seems to be true of a lot of government agencies right now.

This sounds like you could look into kickstarting so you can get the money to develop it. You kind of already know what stages and milestones you would need to go through to build the project. It would be a matter of breaking it down into stages and prizes.

this is one path I have thought about. I do have enough learnings now that I could put together the milestones.

In some sense the challenge here is the production value required on kickstarter these days. Building a community, a sense of trust so that backers will have a feeling of confidence, and making sure the milestones hit on schedule.

The rough demo I have now is not enough. I will keep the kickstarter card in my hand for now

I keep it simple. Every morning, I write in a notebook listing my long term goals and cross them off as they get done. It reminds me of what I need to do every day and it is quick. I put a number next to the goal and if there is an immediate subgoal, I add a letter with one sentence explaining what it is.

I focus on a few subjects in specifically, this makes it manageable, AI and libraries, AI and publishing, and AI and energy. Otherwise I would get overwhelmed.

Maybe it existed in some other place and time, but we will never truly know. This article reminds me a little bit of Philip K. Dick's writings on alternate timelines. People remember a lot of things differently. Your memory of what happened in the past can actively change as you get older. The past might be fixed but your interpretation of it is not.
