Founders

I built my own bespoke second brain app - just for me. I've been using it for over 4 months, capturing thousands of short notes that I can freely explore - in a graph, as a map or using an LLM. 

the coolest thing about doing something like this is having a piece of software that is truly bespoke - in this case perfectly adapted to ways I naturally like to think and work. 

for example, a few weeks back I took a few hours to hack together a highlighter chrome extension. I can use it to highlight anything I read on the web and it automatically appears in the app in real time. I can have it open on another screen and instantly see all other notes I've taken that are related by the context (this uses AI). I find this workflow powerful because I love reading and writing, but I hate organising - so I get AI to do it for me. 

what's the last thing you've built for yourself?

Always interesting, frequently more useful than expectations, and consistently illuminating. Appreciate the flavour

totally agree with you! it's amazing how something you didn't expect much from can turn out to be so enlightening. sometimes the unexpected surprises are the best! always learning something new and appreciating the little things.
