> Go for a walk, record all of the thoughts on the topic with speech to text
I have been doing this. I think better when I walk (so much so, even within the confines of my home, I walk when I have to think).
> organise my thoughts into what I call "facts" - simple sentences of fact, and point out open questions and inconsistencies Would appreciate little more details of how you do this.

Been wanting to develop something like this. Used Monica but didn't go further with it.
Have you read: https://sive.rs/hundreds ? I wanted something that resembles with Sivers talks about there (which is what you seem to have with circles).
Read through docs. Seems like a solid piece of work. Good luck

I liked (and used) logseq for a while (since I could easily relate to the idea of outliner). But their development stalled; now they have moved to db based structure.
I am less concerned about open source than open standard. I have had my notes in text, jpg for more than a decade. Have used plain text editors (textmate?), nvALT etc and now use obsidian. I am sure these text files can stay for another 10 years even if obsidian itself goes out of business.

> Typing prompts isn't even close to as difficult to baking bread
Depending on how good you are at this task. If typing prompts was that easy, there won't be so many tutorials, blog posts, and framework (Act as ... etc)
But there is a difference though. You can ask LLM for "how to write a prompt for ... to prompt you". You can't do that with bread.

I am working on two things:
- SophAI (https://www.sophai.app/): an app to connect the dots across cross-domain. As a CTO, I read across multiple domains (tech, design, business, e-com) and often have to connect the dots. I am building this primarily for myself. It is basically a rss parser with a big AI prompt to connect the dots across the blog posts. As I type this, I'm working on adding podcasts to the app.
- CTO field notes (https://www.ctofieldnotes.com/): collection of essays growing out of my 30 years in IT services. One essay every Tuesday.

Building ThoughtSnaps (https://www.thoughtsnaps.app/), a minimal tool that turns short-form writing into social cards, and longer thoughts into SnapEssays: visual documents you can share natively instead of linking to a blog post the algorithm will bury.
Pick a color theme, pick a template, export. No drag-and-drop, no layers, no fuss. I built it to scratch my own itch.
Stack is SvelteKit on the frontend, Go/Fiber on the back. Built oAuth, some templates.
Building primarily using prompts & cursor + agy. Currently building an MCP server (why not ;-) ) for it so AI assistants can generate and export cards directly.

> In social media the algorithm determines what you see. On forum boards, everyone sees the same set of posts.
Isn't there an algorithm on HN to boost and downvote? It might be a different algo but there is one.

We have been homeschooling our kids. Homeschooling in India is not that widespread. So when a national newspaper covered our experiment, I got lot of questions around what we were doing. For a while I wrote blog posts answering them.
Now I've written quite a few posts (and given talks), I thought of writing a book. Just wrote two chapters. The draft lives here: https://www.jjude.com/books/hs/
