The way I do it is with an agents.md prompt (though the extension provides a skill). Basically, if a Kanban item is created and referenced, ai uses that to log changes, decisions, and proposed commit messages etc. If there isn't a Kanban item, it creates one and does the same.

I am using another VSCode Kanban extension. Very similar workflow to this one. I am very happy with it, it solved many issues I am having with context.

I'm still using allmyjournals, even though the app, website, and company are all gone.

This was me until I discovered Logseq. I still use Workflowy to collaborate with others, but combining notes and todos with a powerful query system is what makes Logseq my goto note and todo management tool.

This app looks really comprehensive. I'm gonna try it out and hope it's as stable as it seems.

I am in love with wails. having python and JS background with no go experience. I pm'ed Ai agents to create a fairly complex desktop app for my own use. it is day and night in terms of performance compared to lightest electron app.

Can I convert LaTeX templates to Typst and vice versa? Many journals have LaTeX templates and demand LaTeX.

Hi Steve,

I based my assumption on the examples in the documentation[^1]. It is great that we can still use that.

I wonder why they phased out Pydantic in structured output for the Responses API.

Memex is the tool I use for a similar purpose, but I still cannot find a link that I know I saved. I think this problem is not solved yet.

This is a great read. I’ve also read a similar paper discussing bad luck with rare events, like lightning strikes and plane crashes, happening to the same person more than once, and the statistical side of it. I think about that paper from time to time and try to find it on Google, but haven’t had any luck.
