(2021-12-07) Brander Camera Roll As A Tool For Thought

Gordon Brander: Camera Roll as a tool for thought. A few things I would like from a tool for thought:
Broad creative range-of-motion
Composability
Ownership
Durability

But thoughts are more interesting when promiscuous. How might we free our thoughts from the confines of SaaS boxes? Can a tool for thought support composability with other tools?

We should be building tools for decades, not years. A tool-for-thought should be able to see through at least one lifework

Another way to look at this: can we do better than an index card?

an example has been staring me in the face for the last 14 years: Camera Roll (ios?).

Camera roll is a high water mark for everyday indispensability, data ownership, freedom to create, interoperability, long-term durability. It’s also self-organizing, algorithmically generating albums that reflect your experiences back to you in a new light. Self-organization is a major theme for Subconscious app.
