“I speak of none but the [todo app] that is to come after me,” intoned Deep Thought, his voice regaining its accustomed declamatory tones. “A [todo app] whose merest operational parameters I am not worthy to calculate—and yet I will design it for you.”
This is Claude’s sad idea of a funnel:
With my recent spurt of production, one aspect I have wanted to get a better handle on is the funnel of ideas I come up with randomly when I don’t have access to write things down. I am on iPhone now, so I can ask Siri to take a note or voice memo, but the friction of having to go back to Apple Notes just means I forget about them. Last week I started working through my own custom solution to this issue.
The phone app works and can take voice commands through Siri (STT only for that). Once unlocked, it can do audio recording, photos, attachments, whatever.
Then I’ve been trying to find a workflow I like in the inbox to process and sort all these into other kinds of lists. I probably want to make a global “What can/should I work on next?” type interface for when I am bored and want to start something new.
It’s pretty rough at the moment, but using and refining it — it will get to be something decent for me.
