are.na is great because it turns saving stuff into a form of thinking. not "content discovery" in the cursed growth sense, more like building a quiet little evidence board of visuals that reflect what you think and like.

I’ve been diving a bit into home labs and self hosting lately and immich is an incredible good self-hosted photo and video solution. it feels better than icloud + free (and you “own” your pics). OCR;Backups;SYNC. all there. Awesome community plugins. if you have some spare time (and storage), i can 100% recommend.

obsidian is great because, coupled with your favourite LLM, it turns your notes into a private thinking system. you write in plain text, link ideas together, let the graph quietly compound, then use the LLM to search, connect, rewrite, argue, summarise, or surface patterns from your own brain.

variant is great because it understands that the beginning of design is mostly visual, not verbal. you describe the thing, it floods you with directions, and you scroll until one of them finally feels like what you meant.

my fav place to find new music. it gives me a nice "radio experience" without (stupid) ads and a bunch of music and genres i actually like or get to like.
