October 3, 2023 No masterplan. Just building!

I am probably doing the wrong thing! But that is OK for now. I just want to start building and get some momentum. To avoid the wrong thing being a disaster, the features and products on temporal.be are small. This also gives me more often a reason to write about what I am doing.

The first product is a todo list. But unlike most you can't add, delete or edit the todos! Why? Because it is a todo list generated from you Google, Outlook (or other) calendar. And you can use it without signing up: https://temporal.be/dodo. Please let me know your feedback.

I have a vague idea forming in my head about AI. Currently LLMs are usually used interactively, so you go to chatGPT and ask a question and about 30 seconds later it has finished replying.

I am thinking what could you do if the LLM was async, and replied at an appropriate time to things like WhatsApp messages or emails. Like a person at the over end?

One idea from this is to build a generic platform to create bots like this, give them prompts and timing instructions.

Another is more specific, something to help with goal setting and generally being a 'buddy' limited to the scope of helping people remember habits and achieve goals. My belief is that this would work better for some mindsets than the "Pay me $100 if you don't do that thing" type sites.

    As most indie hackers, me included, you start with building something without asking people if they need it.

    I guess it's OK if you just love building stuff and don't care if it becomes a business or not.
