The network effect works for protocols, tools of communication, like telephone, fax, internet, email, VoIP, Nostr, even languages themselves. It's a sneaky mistake to put a platform like Facebook in that category. It can be and is used for communication, but it's a service provided and controlled by a single company.

Got my first major pause in my project - Claude/Anthropic closed my account and refunded my payment. I haven't heard back yet on why or if they might reconsider. So I don't have access to the chat history, except in my memory. Even if they don't reinstate it, I'm off to an excellent start. I'm understanding more and more as I go, and would love to be working with something more private. @Maple AI has some coding models, just with much less ability to look at the overall project at once. I have HTML UI mockups of the screens I want and a robust architecture started in Flutter, using VS Code. Next is connecting in and building a #SQLite database to support it all. My understanding is #Shakespeare is for building website, not apps. If anyone has wisdom to share, I'm open! #vibecoding

I learned today Windows has an option to not let you "accidentally" hit the same key twice in a row. For users who never need to spell words with double letters, apparently. 🤷‍♀️
