Cool idea!

Feedback if of interest (otherwise ignore):

- the timeline at the top should probably be on the side and go from to bottom like the weeks, instead of from left to right

- that weeks (and thus years) appear longer visually, just because they need to fit some text, kind of defeats the purpose of creating a sense of scale for one's life

Is there some real current issue that this is poking at or is it just a really bad ad for Starlink?

I got a bad case of vicarious cognitive dissonance from reading this article. At first I thought it was purely me, but the section on his reasoning behind limiting the option space for how long the clipboard history should be showed me, that he basically just doesn't like configuring stuff and will come up with any reason to avoid implementing user configurable options. To clarify: He clearly acknowledges that there are various good reasons for people wanting different behaviour, which generally contradicts his goal of arguing for not shipping preferences. This contradiction at the root of the article never gets resolved, which is what creates the cognitive dissonance, and which makes it almost comical when he arbitrarily limits the clipboard history length to be configurable as a value between 50 and 200. This limit cannot be explained through any of his arguments (like that preferences increase the space of possible states that need to be tested), and so I conclude that it is actually all about the vibes for him - he just doesn't like preferences. And that's ok.

“I think it’s difficult to point out the power imbalance in a way that is not potentially described by somebody as an ad hominem attack.”

Amazing answer.

Yeah I definitely noticed. I think it would be a good idea though to put a disclaimer for what already works and what doesn't. The website makes it appear like a finished product (props for it btw), and the goals of your app are quiet interesting. I will check back later once you got to it to a state that is more or less what the website promises Keep at it, it looks really cool what you are trying here
