The Agent Stack and Anti-Slop Design
Friction-Free Capture
I finally found some time to read through this piece on setting up Hermes and Obsidian. I really want to get Hermes running at some point soon but not sure I have the right hardware for it. I also saw Ramble, which is this offline app for Mac where you just talk while you work and it stitches screenshots into your voice notes. That's exactly the kind of friction free capture I've been looking for, need to give it a try!
Anti-Slop Frontend
Anyway, I've also been doing a lot of digging into how AI builds frontends. I'm honestly so tired of everything looking exactly the same. So I was pretty stoked to find Taste Skill, which is literally billed as the anti-slop frontend framework. It basically stops AI from making boring layouts. That's something I want to explore for my projects. I also saw StemStudio, an open-source 3D game engine and AI copilot right in the browser. It just feels like the barrier to entry for everything is dropping to zero.
HTML as Video
I also started looking at HyperFrames, which turns HTML and GSAP into MP4 videos using AI agents. There's even a specific guide for setting it up in Google Antigravity. I've created a few test videos and it's pretty impressive, even if it still has a ways to go.
The Music Dig
So yeah, outside of all the tech stuff, I'm still building my music playback and discovery tool. I found Record Club and Linernotd, which both look like really interesting communities for cataloging releases and sharing liner notes. I want to check them out when I get a second. Also stumbled onto Sophie's Floorboard while looking for some older stuff punk / emo finds.
