- my threads on twitter short thread on social punishment & natural consequences
- I want more customizable workflows/macros
- like "automatically close tabs [this often | under this situation] when they match [these criteria]"
- which enables
- "max 5 tabs open" like Jess was doing
- "close inactive tabs every 12h" like Arc defaults to
- "close inactive tabs every 5am" like I wish Arc did maybe
- and it should probably also have better tagging/archiving of closed tabs
- including that certain sites would be treated as not-intentional in the sense of like, "you can forget about this tab" whereas other tabs represent something like an intention to read something
- automatically disabling/enabling certain extensions/userstyles based on
- times of day
- hotkeys
- < other conditions? >
- automatically fiddle around on this page so that it doesn't auto-log-out!
- I want extensions to be much more powerful
- and ALSO to have their power user-determined
- rather than enabling all permissions on installing, you can
- install then progressively enable permissions
- enable permissions only on some sites or some contexts
- various abilities I would like to see
- change the theme or parameters of the theme
- ....hmm that's the main one. there are probably other things but they'll depend on some of the other parameters of the new design
- how does it related to "web apps"
- seems there are a few categories, some of which are sort of like "always-open" apps like I do with intend, roam, workflowy, gcalendar
- the system keeps track of your current intention, natively/internally
- additionally! it can also interface with a particular kind of API for getting & setting current intention
- and intend.do is offered as one such interface for that
- but you can also plug it into something else
- even a relatively non-[presence/workflow]-oriented task-manager could be retrofitted to have something tagged as a "current intention" although it's sorta unclear what the benefit would be
- so it's like it comes with a built-in version of the momentum extension
- but one that extends beyond the new tab page and affects the very structure of things
- it could also have something like one main workflow that involves something like journalling/streaming/writing
- where you type about what you're doing, and then you can open tabs/quests based on that
- vaguely wanting to call this portend as a mashup of portal and intend, but that's probably a terrible name. might as well just use a fake word at that phase
- one property this has is that if you remotely set your intention to something new, when you get back to your computer, it should have everything else HIDDEN
- what would the MVP of this be for just me?
- I think basically a chromium-like that auto-changes the whole browser color based on current intend nexa, would be pretty satisfying for me personally to use
