Kirby rocks. It's so much better designed than WordPress.

Audrey Tang did a lot of things related to this whilst they were Minister of Digital Affairs of Taiwan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Tang

They also wrote PUGS the first parser for https://raku.org written in Haskell

I love this! It is like you have taken all the things I want from Obsidian (plus plug-ins) and made them into a single, well designed app. Great!

Feedback:

* This is so good you should find a way to keep it open source but also profit from it so you can develop it full-time. You could just have an official app version - I would pay for that.

* Feature creep. I am a big fan of Bear App for it's wonderful simple design, although I stopped using it because it doesn't work on markdown files directly. What I've seen is that equivalent apps/services (including Obsidian, Notion, Craft) are continuously adding new features. You've already got all the core features I think - try to avoid feature creep, and keep it focused on just doing the core things really well, like Bear App does.

Bear just got a cli, MCP support and a Claude connector [1].

big fan of Bear! It was a big influence for Tolaria — that's why you like it!

thank you for the great feedback mate

Yeah, so sad it is dead. I mean it works, but no more high progress. So it is a legacy. But it worked so fast and smooth :(

At the same time Craft is too focused to replace Google Docs with swipes. Feels weird.

So have to use Notion from phone and VSCode with Claude code on computer. I miss normal implementation of Claude code on my phone :( I really wish to have always computer and access to it maybe. Official Claude code iOS app works weird.

Why did you build something different? What was the motivation compared to Bear?

I'm a heavy Bear user, recently migrating most stuff to Drafts. My problems with Bear is that it's getting slow and I don't have easy direct access to my text data. But it does have apps for all devices and drag&drop images are really useful for lab/electronics work…

For me the main issue with Bear is that it does not work with a directory of Markdown files, but locks them away in a database. If you worked directly on markdown files it would be nearly perfect. They did make a standalone markdown editor called Panda, but didn't pursue it for some reason.

Children of Time is wonderful! I wish Adrian Tchaikovsky would stop churning them out so quickly and write some more of the quality of Children of Time.

I can confirm that eliminating coffee can make a big difference.

Get glasses with the correct focal length for the distance you have your screen at. It makes a huge difference.

And beyond 20/20/20 rule, try to physically go outdoors in sunlight if possible. You can go down by 0.5 diopters if you do this consistently enough.

What is the advantage of using avif over using an MP4 file?

Alpha transparency is supported which you won't get with (normal) AV1 in MP4. The author seems more interested in the default behavior which seems like a waste since AV1 will do videos better.

smaller file size, transparency support and circumventing autoplay restrictions on Safari.

It's really audio that has autoplay limitations, video fine https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/delivering-....

Since every frame is independent they can be quickly decoded

The Economist rocks. They also have a wonderful daily summary of the news that takes five mins to read.

Would that be this? Just checking:

https://www.economist.com/the-world-in-brief

Yep, at least that’s what I know of. They refresh it several times per day, but it’s more than enough to check it once per day.

Yes Children of Time is very good. Tchaikovsky is excellent at portraying alien/non-human minds. You can tell he studied zoology and psychology at university.
