Cursory internet search suggests not, but I am curious if anyone has come across an OS project that boots the browser. Only a browser, and an optimized one at that.

Good day. I've not been able to shake an idea over the past year, so I figure it may be an itch worth scratching. The idea is not profound or groundbreaking. It certainly is not a platform. At best, a feature, to start. Might turn into an app.

But it has the potential to solve a problem relevant to me. I have a hunch that my thoughts, notes, journalling, todos, things I read can be synthesized to make connections and surface insights.

A note taking app, you say? Maybe the user interface to collect data could come off as that. And that is by no means interesting. I am more interested in making connections, drawing insights and developing predictions.

I'm putting this out there to see if others see value in this and would consider collaborating. I'm open to how this partnership gets structured (forming a company, starting informally, etc.)

I am not looking to spend 100% of my time on this project. And I certainly do not expect you to do so. How much time we allocate to this ultimately will be driven by how excited we are about doing this. I want for you to lead on the technology front (user experience, software development, machine learning). I am interested in contributing to product design, marketing/branding and architecture. That said, I don't care if our boundaries blur. I just want to set the expectation that you'll be coding 99% of it.

I am based out of Toronto, Canada, so ET is my timezone. Happy to zoom, face time, etc. Reach out if interested!

I grew up heating and reheating food and drink in a microwave. After moving in to my own place, I opted to use a small oven over a microwave. The food heated in an oven tastes superior to food heated in a microwave.

How is that the microwave became ubiquitous? Generally speaking, a minute in the microwave would require 8 minutes (+ 3 minutes for preheating) in the oven. So is it simply a matter of time savings? "Save ten minutes and eat food that tastes worse?"
