pull down to refresh

Gigi is back with new writing. This time its words + code called Boris.

Boris focuses on bookmarks. Not on creating them, but on consuming them.

This has me very interested. I've got piles of bookmarks I always mean to get back to -- so do you.

The thing

It's pretty slick looking.

Workflow

Gigi writes a little about his current workflow:
Now it’s something like this: Get up, write a prompt, go pee (sitting down, so I can write a prompt on the phone in case something comes to mind), take a shower, have a shower-thought that can be turned into a prompt (obviously), fire off said prompt, brush teeth, fire off another prompt, make breakfast, crush some more prompts, see them driven before me (while I eat breakfast), and hear the lamentations of Claude. You get the idea.
In addition to the above, I made extensive use of the vibeline, which is to say, voice memos. I like to go on walks a lot, and I always have a recording device (read: my phone) with me. I try to minimize my phone use when I’m out and about, but when an interesting thought (or prompt idea) hits me, I’ll pull out my phone and record it. It works surprisingly well, and the way I’ve built it is that if I say certain words, certain LLM pipelines will trigger—pipelines that summarize the idea, create tasks from what was said, and draft prompts based on the thought that was captured.
My workflow is nothing like this. But it sounds so cool! Like warrior poet, but internet age: vibe code philosopher.1
But such dreams aside, I like how Gigi thinks about vibing as dialog, thinks about conversation as intelligence.
But mostly I just like Gigi's attitude.
Also: props for releasing on 31 October.

Footnotes

  1. I say it sounds cool. Another part of my mind thinks it's vapid. Or childish.
I tried Boris today. Unfortunately, it seems that just nostr content is supported yet, or I just haven't figured out how to import other writings, such as links from Stacker News. Have you tried using it yet?

I used it but only for nostr. I would have loved a way to import bookmarks from my browser but I didn't see it.

Same here. I'm curious to see how this project evolves. Looking at the different icons, I would assume that more formats will be supported. Let's see!
