I think I am coming out of burnout...

Chiara Cokieng @chiaracokieng.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

i recently had the 'epiphany' that these notes apps (Craft, Obsidian...) using the 'folders' metaphor is not helping. This PARA shit is not helping me. It's somehow the wrong mental model for me, I can't wrap my brain around it.

so many vibe-coded software nowadays: task managers, notes apps, personal CRMs sexy, but as a productivity geek since 2012, i've wasted so much time learning & migrating across apps that got abandoned, pivoted, or died won't touch anything that doesn't look like it'll be here for 10+ years
