This is really interesting. I imagine that AI-generated art / illustrations for books mostly-text is a pretty compelling thing for authors, for all the same reasons that AI-generated text is of value for non-authors. I wonder how this

For most of my conversations, authentication really isn’t an important consideration. If someone snoops the random pics and texts I send back and forth with my friends, so be it. But it’s awfully nice to use the same app for different commu

These aren’t necessarily related. I have aphantasia (am aphantastic?) but have a great sense of direction, and think very spatially. Just not with pictures or lines in a “mind’s eye”, as people call it.

Have you thought about using type aliases or higher order types of some sort for that instead of relying on the variable name? I could define that a familyname and a givenname are strings, and then a function argument of type familyname wou
