This is cool! Thanks

Back to the fundamentals! Triggers it is, indeed.

The fundamentals are fundamental for a reason. Don't go crazy with them, but triggers are great. (especially if you version control all your data definition language code)

i love triggers, started with them, and they are still a good toolset to have if CDC is not an option by the source database we need to pull from

This page has been live long before AI appeared, I used Quartz [1] v3, now at v5. But added some features I like with AI, yes, but still keeping my beloved color theme and web style as I had it for a long, long time. The whole code for the second brain (ssp.sh/brain/*) is on GitHub, in case you want to check it [2], but you can also see the "Changelog" in the footer to see recent visual changes. But I'd be curious what makes you think it's AI-generated?

Apologies.

The beige coloring with the bright green "recently updated" label somehow triggered my "this template is made by Claude" instinct.

good point, thanks for the honesty. I will change that, I think the color inside pop up make sense (red removed, green added words), but the green dot does not add value.

I've noticed a similar phenomenon: getting tired of networks and algorithms. I wrote a short essay with my thoughts on "Well Being in Times of Algorithms" [1].

Now this is the most shameless plug I've ever seen. Congrats.

They have one of the best articles out there, and now the page is great too. Fun and innovative. My favorite article, in case you haven't read it already, is local-first [1], or I recently read the embark, dynamic documents for making plans. These always give me so much inspiration.

Wow, embark is very well done! I feel like there is some sort of solution space between notes, whiteboards, jupyter notebooks and Arcan FE that could make knowledge organization much easier, but it's such a huge space to even comprehend in the first place I can only ever hold part of the solution in my head.

I also enjoyed Muse[1], which was made available in the iOS app store, and is now being maintained as "Allume"[2] (an unnamed company bought the Muse name).

Essentially a digital pinboard, it was an interesting experiment in "designed for tablet" UX and was developed far enough to be an app. The gesture based UX, nested board, PDF reader, and transclusion of PDF fragments are all interesting ideas.

I really love this one on dynamic documents as well:

Potluck: Dynamic documents as personal software https://www.inkandswitch.com/potluck/

I do the same. Cherish the moments, not the pictures.

a 100% :)

I use a single Docker container [1] to run a full VM on Linux, and it works like a charm for Excel and Word when I still need them.

While I use Claude a lot for my Omarchy plugins and Linux optimization/failure detection, I don’t use it for writing and note-taking, especially for coming up with unique ideas and driving them home by writing them through to the end.

It's so hard to finish an idea that is not yours and is just suggested by AI.

It's also hard to finish an idea that is mine.

hehe :D

Only thing missing is a Screener, which once you have it, you cant live without. No need for burner adresses, as nobod lands in your inbox unapproves. I added it to my TUI, nvim and markdown first email client, neomd.
