"Building the Future: A Meta Project for Audio Notes and Zine Creation"

Jan 4, 2025 - 2:11pmSummary: The author plans to create a meta projects page to organize and categorize audio notes into four main projects: Handy (for single-handed computer use), project tracking, a zine creation tool, and Burrito, which serves as the overarching framework for all the projects. Coffee is aiding the progress. Tomorrow, the focus is on advancing the zine project to a usable state, including adding text, images, and possibly integrating the Glyph API. The author also envisions adding multi-page functionality and allowing users to create and link pages, creating a nested context system. The ultimate goal is to provide a URL for others to explore and use the zine tool.

Transcript: And from recording these things, I kind of want to build a meta projects page where I dumped these audio notes in. And then I split out information using that transformation of all of them to split it out into the three main projects that I'm talking about here. The one for, which is called Handy, to help me use the computer with one hand. The second one, which is the projects thing, generally, tracking projects. The third, which is the zine thing. And actually, there's the fourth, which is just burrito as a whole, which kind of encompasses all of these to some degree. All of these are relevant to burrito as well. And that's why burrito kind of wraps this as a whole. And that is a substrate. Burrito is fundamentally like the substrate that these things grow on top of. And maybe even that becomes the name. I don't know. But, yeah. This is the universe which we're playing within. And that is kind of what I would like to happen within the system. We'll see how we get there. Of course, coffee is helping me kind of move myself around to do all of this. Tomorrow, I think, like, I really just need to get the zine thing done. At least to, like, a minor degree of how can I just make it work to the point of someone else can use it. And also adding some, like, nice functionality and features into it. Like, being able to add text to the page. Being able to add images to the page. Being able to upload those to R2. Potentially being able to call the Glyph API. And making Glyphs that create text. That'll be kind of interesting to see. And, yeah. It'll be curious. And I guess I'll give everyone, like, a URL at the end of this trip that we're going on together. And they can go play with it. So, that will be interesting to see, like, what it's like. And specifically, like, I guess the other part of this is, like, probably we'll be wanting to add links. Like, a single page is probably not going to be enough. And that's also going to be an interesting exploration of, like, oh, I want to create a new page here. And letting people create those pages. And kind of then, again, work in the same environment. And it's like a subcontext. And you can kind of, like, drill down and be like, I want this to be fresh. Or pull from that, again, broader global context. So, this is just, like, lots of little context buckets that we're working in. So, this will be very curious to play with.

"Crafting a Hypermedia Canvas: Transforming Artifacts into Interactive Digital Experiences"

91.10% similar

The author is contemplating a project that involves collecting artifacts and placing them into a hypermedia context on a web page, allowing for complex interactions and transformations of the data. This project is envisioned to have a similar interface to a zine but with added complexity, akin to an application called Burrito. The goal is to enable querying, selection, and relationship-building between pieces of information, with the potential for both individual and combined transformations. The author is particularly interested in manipulating data through various operations and sees potential for integrating this interface into AR or VR environments due to their visual and spatial preferences. The core concept is a "canvas methodology" that can be applied across different digital creations, differing from the simpler drag-and-drop zine format. The author also considers the possibility of using large language models to build the application autonomously by providing detailed, context-rich information over time.

The text discusses the concept of building context within a project or a system, starting from a blank state. Two methods are mentioned for establishing this context: importing existing elements from global or other pre-defined contexts, and directly dragging and dropping files. The purpose is to organize information into meaningful units that can be easily manipulated. Additionally, it highlights the importance of making data sources explorable, such as tables and SQLite databases, which is a separate but equally crucial aspect.

Your burritos are a digital platform that allows you to upload multimedia files to the web via an iOS shortcut. Participants of the experiment will have a personal webpage that recommends similar content they or others have uploaded, fostering a sense of community. There's a collaborative aspect for developers, with APIs available and the potential for collective improvement of the Next.js app. Keep in mind that the platform, especially for video uploads (currently capped at 100MB), is a work in progress and feedback is encouraged to refine the experience. The speaker instructs on how to use a digital tool, explaining that it can load various types of content. Users can add to the tool by accessing a shortcut through three dots, and their content should appear in the share sheet for photos, videos, audio notes, and text—though text support is limited at this stage. There's a file size limitation of 100 megabytes, which generally affects photos and audio. The speaker expresses gratitude for the willingness to participate and encourages feedback and engagement at any level, emphasizing a desire to build something beneficial for the group.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.
