we would love to see you cite some examples

> "The brain" is not in any way shaped like a physical object

Our brains are physical object, and the connections it is composed of are also physical.

i've also had success with render.com so far! been running an app & DB for $14/mo for a almost 6 months and it's been solid.

this looks nice and clean - why have you paused development? I see there are 32 github issues

this is a bit exaggerated.

Polymath > A polymath is an individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.

If that's who you are, there's no shame in identifying as so. Don't let hacker news comments gatekeep you.

I don't know about "any minute now" But I would echo the comment that I think they face a lot of turbulence in their future.

My current side project (neighborhud.app) is an iPhone 6 in every room displaying a HUD (heads up display) of recurring things i need to do in that area, inventory, events, and requests. Iphone 6's are fairly advanced devices that are only ~$35 on ebay. This allows for recycling of tech that would otherwise become trash, because it just renders a webpage that's been added to the home screen (so it looks like an app). This bypasses any app store requirements so as long as it can keep running safari it's still of use. I just leave them plugged in with low screen brightness.

For "inventory", it's just a custom state machine that can be scheduled in the past or future. And requests are things an area needs - which can be associated with an inventory item, or free text. This lets me pull up all requests when I'm at the store and see the kitchen needs apples, and the bathroom needs soap, etc.

Right now, I have a HUD for my front door (to remind me of things before i leave) a HUD for my phone/car (when I'm out) and then one for my kitchen, bathroom and hallway. I have the one in my kitchen magnetically on my fridge, so i can pull it off and take picture of food I'm adding. Will probably add one for my office next.

The difficult thing for me has been being the user more than being the builder and just focusing on the real MVP and then picking at it over time.

Working on cleaning it up and then maybe allowing others to give it a go - i feel like there could be some value in connecting people with spaces.

I didn't think Mastodon would make sense for me as any kind of twiter alternative, but then I found someone created ruby.social and now it actually makes sense for me, and offers something twitter doesn't.

seems more outline than database. I also find the colors to be overwhelming. The sidebar ToC feels novel but that is not a huge value add for me. The UX is woefully lacking in expressiveness, and there are no notable gains from not using files/folders/tags. Plus cue all the portability / dependence issues.

So... a miss for me on this helping with abstract thinking.

That said - keep iterating and challenging what is possible, and start talking to "customers".

chia is a terrible idea. investment wise, and also tech. Great theory, but a miss in execution.

this is what desperation looks like

thanks for posting it!

nice find! ;)
