Hi HN, for the past few months Iβve been working on a read later app called RDLTR ( https://rdltr.app ). The whole thing started because I had so many tabs open with stuff I wanted to read, across browsers, Mac, Linux, and iPhone. They cluttered everything and got in the way of other things I had to do. Pocket had just shut down when this idea came up, I looked around, tried Instapaper, Raindrop, Matter, and a few others I forget. They were fine, but they all give you a list that only grows, which is another thing to maintain, and not the model I had in mind. Safari has this Reading List feβ¦

Hi HN - If you're anything like me, you've seen the occasional quantum computing posts here and skimmed through them, hoping that the comments would explain the significance (or lack thereof) of the results in question. I got to the point where I just wanted to read a proper book about the field, so that I could understand what quantum computing 'is' at a high level (I'm technical, with an EE PhD, but not a physics or CS guy). Unfortunately, I found that there wasn't really a text that fit my needs. There are books that explain the math/CS theory at an appropriate level (I recommend Scott Aarβ¦

I am happy to share something I have been working on for the past few months: an open-source agent orchestrator for knowledge work, built on Hermes Agent. For context, I started building verso on my own free time as a learning exercise a few months ago. It's now become the set up that I use for work every day and it has significantly increased my productivity. I wanted to have an easy and intuitive way to interact with Hermes Agent without having to use the CLI. Then one thing led to another. It connects to the apps you already use, builds context autonomously, learns and grows with you, andβ¦
