I enjoyed the sentiment, thank you for sharing.

Came to post about the site. My first reaction to the layout was "Oh, must be optimized for mobile." Then I clicked a link in one of the articles and it opened alongside it. Very slick. I enjoy this! It enables that "wiki deep dive" style of browsing. I suddenly want to read all your notes.


I actually made a Wikipedia browser directly inspired by Andy's blog: https://steezeburger.com/wikipedia-browser/

I find it a really intuitive way to browse notes and to get a feeling for the relationships between your collected information.


This is great! Thank you :heart:

This is the first time I've encountered this. I want all footnotes to work this way! Otherwise I'm off into a rathole and never return. Love it.

Hot Take: best $5k you've ever spent.

Imagine living your whole life thinking you couldn't do it?

I'm not saying it's fun. Just saying it may be a good thing.


I agree. We skipped CLIs and went all the way to TUIs because TUIs are "easy to make now"? Or maybe because claude/codex?

But in practice you are padding token counts of agents reading streams of TUIs instead of leveraging standard unix pipes that have been around from day 1.

TLDR - your agent wants a CLI anyway.

Disclaimer: still a cool project and thank you to the author for sharing.


The TUI makes more sense to humans who don’t understand the difference between a human and a machine.


I agree. The first paragraph on the page implies the javascript can natively search your machine (vs. via Browser Extensions)


They're also the only avenue to breaking out of the browser sandbox.


Yes exactly.

The problem is TUIs. Or at least the assumption you're only supposed to use a TUI. There are plaintext ways to invoke things but the advertised Claude/Codex experience is a TUI. You can't pipe the contents because it's not next - it's instructions to draw to the terminal.

<humor>TUIs are the new podcast! With everyone asking you to invoke tools via a TUI, there was nobody left to write actual tools.</humor>

TLDR - make sure you support plain text too ;)


This is a github pages feature. Given an account with the name "example", they can publish static pages to example.github.io

So this being from github.github.io implies it's published by the "github" account on github.


I prefer all my custom commands as 1 letter.

On my most frequently used machine/dev env this means -

e for vim

m for mise

n for pnpm

c for Claude

x for codex


r for uv run

j for just

I use fish abbreviations for this, as they expand to the full command in the shell history.


d for deploy to production


f for friday


I was excited for actions because it was “next to” my source code.

I (tend to) complain about actions because I use them.

Open to someone telling me there is a perfect solution out there. But today my actions fixes were not actions related. Just maintenance.


Couldn't agree more.

I would expect older models make you feel this way.

* Agents not trying to do the impossible (or not being an "over eager people pleaser" as it has been described) has significantly improved over the past few months. No wonder the older models fail.

* "Garbage in, garbage out" - yes, exactly ;)
