@RosaCtrl 100 with you on the types, I do that too. So do you want this to be a personal webapp for keeping track of your reading, giving them scores, allowing translations to be filed as their own works instead of being grouped, and would like to do it in janet?

I also thought about this quite a bit because depending on where you are at both in your journey building software / familiarity with LLMs that this might trigger a "what am I even doing / good for" (it happens to me so regularly that I got used to it), which is the _opposite_ of what I want to convey. In workshops I give (used to give), I am pretty good at usually showing to the most skeptical people in the room where the value and what I think ways forward are, but I'm worried this might get lost online / non-collaborative environment.
I was thinking of a couple approaches to this:
- happy to share on a meet or a stream and just talk/chat about this stuff and have an easier way conveying what my line of thinking and goals are
- record what I do and kind of show you how I work these days, using your prompt as a starting point, in 1h increments
- take your prompt, paste it into an LLM, and walk away (which... sucks, not because I wouldn't do that usually, but because I don't know you and we don't have "trust". If it was a friend and we know how we work and what we are interested in, that would be totally fine, and is indeed what I do with a bunch of friends)
I know this all sounds a bit cryptic and full-of-it, and I might be, but I'm worried that this will convey the doom, and not the bloom.
