1/ Thoughts on foldable phone sizes: • The unfolded screen should be wide not square. • That can be achieved by folding the typical phone size three times or by folding a wider phone once. • Google originally did the latter and it now seems to be coming back (Samsung and probably Apple). • The DIN (A4 etc.) aspect ratio is perfect: If you fold it in half, the ratio is the same (Math.SQRT2 in JavaScript).
It’s difficult to portray artificial intelligences well on TV: You want them to be different from humans but without them being boring. Some aspects of them have to feel like technology (which is where depictions often lose me). TV shows where I enjoyed AIs: • Person of Interest • Westworld Any others?

Web app technique I’m considering: decks/ flash-cards.md flash-cards.json App stores state in JSON file: • Pro: Syncing state between devices via file system • Con: User must select directory first (via OS), deck second (via app). Why? So that the app can write a sibling file to the directory.

It's a common ecosystem pattern to map a source root directory to @/ but it requires special tooling support. This turns #/* into a more realistic ...
 "imports": { "#/*": "./*" } Why is this useful? Gives you more naming options. Previous solution (e.g.): "#root/*" (*)

Tiny UI detail in Visual Studio Code: If you select matches via Command-D (Windows: Control-D) then selecting doesn’t stop at the last match, it wraps around and stops where everything started. That makes a big difference because you see the initial context while making changes.
