Yeah, the addon list has gotten pretty long. And not everyone uses all of them. You can now drag your favorite ones around to reorder them and move them up to your favorite positions. (long-press in mobile phones)

We stopped writing zeros and ones a long time ago. The very first computers did that. We don’t write in assembly anymore either. Fortran and Cobol are pretty much outdated too. C is still used quite heavily in kernels, embedded systems, and performance-critical code, but not much for most other things these days. C++, Java, C#, Python, Ruby, and JavaScript were the next steps up in abstraction. AI-assisted development is just the next level of abstraction we’re at right now. Prove me wrong.

NoorNote has 'data saver' mode turned on by default on mobile phones. That means images and videos don't load until you tap on them, and it also uses fewer relays in the background. If you want the full experience like on desktop, just turn that switch off and reload your timeline. View quoted note →

Someone mentioned the other day that they felt weird because they're bringing so many improvement suggestions and criticisms about NoorNote, thinking I must be annoyed by it. To say it without any politeness or hypocrisy: I'm really not. You know, I'm just building this thing on my own and sometimes I make the dumbest decisions, like NosPress, and then end up rolling them back a few weeks later. When someone tells me what they want fixed in the app, they're basically handling the prioritization for me and removing all the guesswork about what will work and what won't. That's why I love feedback. I know how I use NoorNote, but I have no clue how you guys are using it or want to use it. So I'm all for it, keep it coming.

It's surprising how low-level the conversations are about AI-assisted coding from people who've never really gone deep with it themselves. It reminds me a bit of those 1970s debates about whether kids should be allowed to use calculators for math. Just because some folks haven't gained real experience with these new coding tools doesn't mean experienced developers with decades under their belt don't have it. I didn't have any at the beginning either. It was a painful process figuring out what worked and what didn't, and building up all my safeguards in a project. I've fallen into so many traps where I had to rebuild everything because the AI recommended the wrong tool or the wrong method due to its lack of experience. I came close to wanting to give up completely 3 different times with #NoorNote because the AI had messed things up so badly for me. I even restarted after a month, luckily pretty early on. But now I know exactly what works with AI and what doesn't. I know when I need to dive in deep myself and where I can give it more freedom. The whole system of safeguards and controls I've built around it is worth its own write-up, and to me that's what actual AI competence really looks like. Because only this way can one person actually ship a big project in 9 months with AI, even if it took a painful learning curve, something a 5-10 person team still isn't capable of pulling off in a year. The next person who starts talking shit about AI needs to show some real proof-of-work first before I take them seriously.
