Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026Check out the updates here: www.shiori.sh/shiori.shShioriPersonal memory for you and your AI 030
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026🪟 Windows desktop PWA For Windows users, you can grab the Shiori PWA by installing the website via Chrome. Not quite a proper Windows app, but I'll get there... 110
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026🔒 Sign in with email/password Many people told me they don't like Google auth, so I've added email/password as a second sign in method 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026📰 Subscribe to feeds and channels Automatically bookmark new content from your favorite sites and YouTube channels. These links are also enriched and transcribed on the Plus and Pro plans. 100

Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026💻 Shiori CLI Same thing: all your bookmarks are now hyper-legible to LLMs so you can build tools or workflows on top of your library. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026🤖 Shiori MCP server Connect to any agent, like Claude, to integrate your bookmarks into your AI workflows (nice for research!) 110
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026There are also some fun new features I added last weekend and this morning: 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026New free tier: • save save unlimited links • subscribe to unlimited feeds • rich content extraction on all links • natural-language search • access to all apps, API, CLI, and MCP Better! 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026As a result, the free plan ended up feeling ~useless, even for casual bookmarkers. So I pushed some changes this morning that make the free plan actually usable + added an approachable middle paid tier. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026After releasing Shiori a few weeks ago, some power-bookmarkers imported thousands of links and I racked up a pretty decent X API + Claude bill. I probably over-reacted and raised prices too fast + nerfed the free plan too aggressively. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/2026...made signing in to the extension and desktop app instant, edit titles + summaries, performance improvements across the board, and so much more... So far people have saved over 30,000 links to Shiori, with the most popular domains being X and YouTube. Give Shiori a try → www.shiori.shshiori.shShioriA beautifully simple read-it-later app 010
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/20268) Quality of life: added a trash can with rolling auto-delete, improved link preview cards with rich media (including YouTube thumbnails and X photos), juiced up the content extraction pipeline for all kinds of links to make summaries and AI search more powerful... 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/20267) Import Safari Reading List: for the Safari users out there! If you're looking for a more powerful read-it-later solution, Shiori can import your entire Safari Reading List (including the history of everything you've already read). 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/20266) Data export: export everything, including any files you've uploaded. If Shiori isn't right for you, it's easy to keep your data and move elsewhere. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/20265) Shiori AI: added chat threads, deeper embeddings to improve search quality, web search with quick-save so you can find related links on the web and add them to your reading list in one click. Shiori AI will also proactively suggest follow-up questions if you're chatting about a link you saved. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/20264) PDF and audio upload: you can upload PDFs or audio files (like podcasts) to get full content extraction and summarization. Combined with the in-app AI chat feature, you can now chat with a PDF/podcast in Shiori. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/20263) Notion sync: now syncs more data to Notion, like a link's archive status, deletions, and title/summary edits. Added a system to automatically set up the ideal database schema and keep your properties in sync with Shiori as new features come out. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/20262) Improved the stability of the sync and folder-based filtering, added support for edge cases like reposts and image-only posts (and yes, these also get analyzed by AI for summarization so you can find posts with photos later on). 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/2026I made a bunch of improvements last weekend to shiori.sh— 1) X bookmarks sync: added support for backfill-importing as many bookmarks as you want with a usage-based credit system. 180

Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 01/03/2026Shiori got a shoutout on The Verge! Cool www.theverge.com/tech/886462...theverge.comA legendary weather app makes a comebackIn this week’s Installer: phones, RSS readers, and terrifying games. 130
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 01/03/2026I added a repo skill to Shiori called /pr-checklist that runs on (most) PRs. It double checks I'm not forgetting anything across like updating documentation (internal and external), testing, logging, schema changes, app versioning, etc. Super helpful! Here's an example: 080
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 28/02/2026Absolutely insane how much progress you can make on a small side project with a well-made codebase and rigorous verification systems (tests, logging, tracing). 1170
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026I didn't write a single line of the worker code because I didn't need to: models are so good that I can link to the Workers readme, yap my desired outcome into a microphone, and I get a super-personal and highly-capable AI agent out the other side. So fucking cool. The future is now! 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026- Initiate Claude Code workflows to open PRs proactively in the background when someone sends a bug report or feature request This custom agent is now my "Side Project Chief of Staff" (I don't really know what a chief of staff does but this sounds right). 200
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026- Self-construct a database of feature requests with an understanding of who is requesting the feature and how they're using the product today - Answer any question I have about how people use the app and what I should be thinking about next 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026- Diagnose bug reports proactively by looking through past email conversations, system logs, and database records - Draft replies to user questions with the correct answer based on past email threads, or help me proactively reach out to churning paid users 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026I gave the custom agent everything it needs to understand what's happening in my product (email, log drain, sentry alerts, stripe payments, etc) and to do work on my behalf (access to coding agents). In an afternoon of tinkering, this agent can: 100

Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026Raycast 🤝 Shiori www.raycast.com/0xdhrv/shio...raycast.comRaycast Store: ShioriSearch, save, and manage your Shiori bookmarks. Mark links as read, delete them, save from clipboard, and track unread count in the menu bar. 060
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026The thing that finally made Shiori work for me was an iOS Shortcut to quick-capture on mobile. The installation flow sucks a bit, though, so I wrote this guide: shiori.sh/docs/ios-sh... I have Claude working nights and weekends to get a mobile app going in the background...one thing at a time...shiori.shiOS Shortcut · ShioriSave links to Shiori directly from the share sheet on your iPhone or iPad. Set up once, use everywhere. 000
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026Pretty cool: - tried detail.dev - pointed it at Shiori repo - found some bugs (and a few false positives) - converted them all to GitHub issues - pointed Conductor at all the issues - all bugs fixed/patched in minutes in parallel worktreesdetail.devDetail | Your codebase is full of bugsDeep scans of your codebase that find bugs you’ll be glad to know about. Security vulnerabilities, data loss, billing mistakes. 120
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 24/02/2026Oh and yes: everyone works off of branches + PRs, but each person's prototypes get organized into their own working directory to keep the codebase tidy. 010
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 24/02/2026Funny enough I think 90% of prototypes don't start with a template. Most people are prototyping different kinds of interactions or new features where the Notion "chrome" isn't an important detail 200
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026Let me know if you have any questions! I should still write that blog post... 000
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026It's an incredibly exciting time to be a designer. Designers should embrace AI, learn how it works (there's no magic here!), and start developing an intuition for what models can do so that we're always building product experiences on the bleeding edge of capabilities. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026I can now multi-task different versions of an idea with parallel agents, kick off work to a background agent from my phone during a meeting, and agents can work for longer periods of time on more complex prototypes to build the core idea at a much higher level of fidelity. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026Also: in the video I mentioned that I was spending ~60% of my time in Figma. That is no longer true. It's now closer to 5-10%. The last 3 months of model improvements have changed what's possible to design and prototype in code. 110
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026It's worth mentioning: models have gotten so good in the last 3 months that we're seeing more designers at Notion prototype directly in production with feature flags. In the long-run I wonder how useful this type of isolated code-first prototyping environment will actually be... 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026It's easy to yoink great ideas from other people's prototypes or find that one random idea that would have otherwise been lost to a Slack thread...every prototype rolls up into a unified feed so we can see at a glance what people are exploring. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026One of the most valuable parts of Prototype Playground is that everyone's work is in one place. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026• ci-monitor — watches CI on a pull request and self-heals broken tests, formatting issues, type errors, etc • figma-verifier — uses the Figma MCP to loop back and forth between a Figma mock and what the agent built in the browser until the output is correct 120
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026/find-icon — a script that helps find the right icon instance using tags/synonyms, so "search icon" can resolve to "MagnifyingGlassIcon" in code We also have a few subagents that are particularly helpful: 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026/brainstorm — interviews you about what you're trying to make, think through edge cases, key flows, and finds components that can be reused from existing prototypes /deploy — walks through the entire branch → commit → push → PR → CI workflow and teaches people how git works along the way 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026We have skills that make developing and deploying easy, and they can help teach non-technical team members what's actually happening under the hood. Some of my favorites: 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026But at it's core the Playground is simple: a single repository where anyone can explore ideas with AI and real code, unconstrained by the production codebase and without fear of breaking things. Prototype Playground is AI-first, naturally. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 23/02/2026Prototype Playground has evolved quite a bit over the last year, and even since recording this in December, the app looks and feels quite different. 100
