SuperDo is one of my favorite agents I built in @dreamer. Here's the backstory. I've been obsessed with to-do apps my entire professional life. Back when I was a PM on the Android team in the early 2010s, I helped start Google Keep as a 20% project. For years I remained proud of [video]

I tried the new Meta Ray-Ban Display “Hypernova” glasses that Meta just announced (thanks for the demo @ahimel !)  TL;DR it's a really well-executed take on a simple idea: a crisp heads-up display with precise micro-gesture control of mini apps My quick takeaways from the demo I got: 1/ The monocular heads-up display (yup, Google Glass vibes!) is surprisingly usable despite “only” 20 deg FOV; pretty crisp and bright enough even in broad daylight; with enough space for fully functional widgets that are much bigger than anything you could fit on a watch display...

I tried the just-announced Meta Orion AR glasses a few weeks back.  It was a beautiful glimpse into the future akin to the first time you experience Waymo or Tesla self-driving.  My quick takeaways from the demo: 1/ Wearing see-through AR glasses is 10x better...  [list continues]....Here's hoping that Meta will get Orion prototypes in the hands of enough developers—and energize them to try stuff out—to really see what's possible with this new computing form factor.  This is what Apple failed to do with the Vision Pro.

Hands-on with Meta's Orion: needs a wireless processor puck, weighs only 100g, is packed with sensors, and has good eye tracking and a wide FoV for AR glasses
