It's an ADHD medication companion. It helps with remembering to take your meds, understanding the effect curve, getting lifecycle notifications (when it peaks, when it starts to wear off), pacing multiple doses throughout the day, and managing your supply.

It's built for iOS and uses the apple ecosystem to ensure privacy for your health data. Data is stored in your own private iCloud account and we do not have access to it.

Ask HN: How did you improve agent's output readability?

futurecat — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:17:00 +0000

Hey,

It's been a couple of months now that I'm seeing tons of complaints about Claude's output. It is VERY difficult to read and makes reasoning particularly tedious. Asking it to use ASD-STE100 improved things a bit but it's still not perfect.

I've also seen some tricks on Twitter such as adding this kind of blocks in the AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md file:

---

- Use clear subject/verb/object constructions. Do not use cleft sentences, contrastive appositives, appended-glosses, or trailing clauses.

- Assume I may edit documents myself. Especially markdown documents.

- When writing markdown documents, don't include references to conversations or threads a reader would not know about.

---

I'm curious how you're handling this. Did you find anything that improves an agent's communication style? Also, do we know why it's happening?

Bravo! I have worked in observability for years and I have a deep desire for new visualizations technics inspired by video games. It would be great in XR as well.

They've been in business for a long time and I used them when I experimented with QR code for street artists to receive tips. OpenNode is very simple to implement!

Fable is such a strange model. Impressive in some ways, and also so draining to use.

As a teenager, I found Terry Pratchett’s email (in a newsgroup IIRC?) and sent him a thank you note. I told him how much his books made me love reading. He answered me with a short and sweet email. It was an important internet moment for me!
