After years of big-tech dependency I feel like I'm finally able to break free from proprietary walled-garden apps, and I absolutely love it.

Moving your data into portable, plaintext file formats keeps you from being trapped in digital ecosystems that you can't control.

👉 github.com/t4t5/caldir

The caldir-core package is intentionally simple and extensible.

By tackling the basic problem of storing and syncing events, it makes it easy for anyone to experiment with UIs and workflows on top of it.

TUIs like khal should already support Caldir quite well. GUIs are coming soon!

Caldir's sync mechanism works similarly to git.

You push and pull changes to keep your local directory in sync with a remote (can be Google Calendar, iCloud Calendar, CalDav, or any other cloud calendar)

Caldir is the "file-over-app" philosophy applied to calendars.

One ICS file per event, human-readable filenames, sorted chronologically by default.

A standard plaintext format makes your events trivial to read and composable with other unix tools.

Caldir Your calendar as a directory

I wanted my AI agent to be able to read my calendar.

Turns out the easiest way is to just make a directory of text files.

So I built caldir

caldir.org

x402 is the future

some changes i've made to my tech stack to optimise for agent workflows:

🚫 Notion/Notes
✅ markdown files (with Obsidian)

🚫 Todo app
✅ todo.txt

🚫 Quickbooks
✅ beancount files

🚫 Google sheets
✅ csv files

🚫 Recipe app
✅ cooklang files

The return of plaintext productivity What happens when everyone starts optimising their software for LLMs over humans?

my biggest bet for 2026: invest in plaintext productivity

the thing with vibe coding is that writing the code was never really the hard part

It’s like an author saying they could write Harry Potter because they can generate any sentence

these L2s, they're laughing at us. we will make them pay their fair share with reciprocal blob fees

install instructions for Claude and Cursor: github.com/ordiscan/ord...

you can now install the ordiscan MCP server and ask your AI assistant about ordinals ✨

I built a website showing where the UK government spends its money

GitHub - taproot-wizards/bitcoin-script-hints.nvim Contribute to taproot-wizards/bitcoin-script-hints.nvim development by creating an account on GitHub.

install instructions can be found here: github.com/taproot-wiza...

it’s currently designed to work with the "script!" macro in rust, since that's what we use at Taproot Wizards

working with bitcoin script is hard, so i made a neovim plugin that shows you the state of the stack after each operation ✨

would love to join!

feel like pure shit i just want her back x
