This is great! I’ve been exploring a similar idea with Shopify merchants https://lobsterstores.com/
Each merchant has an MCP. I’m building a directory and creating a skill that lets clankers discover and interact with their MCPs. I receive a checkout link to securely complete the payment.
I've been thinking what the "agent" side means for a merchant, building yet another chatbot is not really interesting. I'm talking with some merchants and trying to figure out the answer to that question.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned https://web.hypothes.is/ --- it's a non-profit trying to solve the same idea. They are actually trying to advance on the ideas of the w3c annotation's working group and do everything open source.

re: tooling
I've been using Truffle too. My biggest issue when getting started was the cognitive overload. If you want to try Truffle I wrote a couple of simple guides that helps you deploy your first Ethereum smart contract to a test net https://blog.abuiles.com/blog/2017/07/09/deploying-truffle-c...

Interesting! Those things are exactly what the book tells you not to do.

+1 on "Nonviolent Communication" - if anyone is interested I have some directive like notes from the book here https://blog.abuiles.com/reading-feed/nonviolent-communicati... -- going through the book is important for the context but this can give you a quick overview of what it is about.
Other books in my list are:
- Punished by rewards by Alfie Kohn
- On the shortness of life by Seneca

Super interesting, I did a small tool for myself for this same purpose. Is a mix between highlights and Evernote https://kintrospect.com/

One of the episodes of Revisionist History talks about genius and
different types of innovation, through the episode they talk about
Cohen and how his song Hallelujah was not an overnight success. Cohen
worked on it over 5 years to get it to a point where he was
comfortable with!
Dylan is also mentioned in that episode, since they had some kind of mutual admiration. Apparently Dylan and Cohen meetup at some point and Dylan asked Leonard how long it took him to write Hallelujah and he lied saying "2 years". Then Cohen asked Dylan how long it took him write "I and I" and Dylan said: "oh, like 15 minutes".
If you are interested in exploring more, I annotated a bunch of fun facts from that episode https://www.listeningcrowd.com/podcasts/1-revisionist-histor...

+1 on this, Ember + Rails is a really cool combination, also check http://ember-cli.com/ (and if you want to learn Ember, I wrote a book https://leanpub.com/ember-cli-101).

I wrote and publish a book through leanpub about Ember.js: ember-cli-101[1]. I started to sell it without finishing it and it was bringing about $500/mo, but now that is completed sells are going up. I hope it would be above $2000/mo for the following months.
