we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" — places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups. here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final. looking for feedback, esp from community builders 👀

PR stands for "public relations." It's a team inside a company that attempts to control the public image of a company. Amusingly, at several tech companies, PR teams have become "the no publicity" teams. They end up blocking devs sharing what would be super interesting stuff

I used NotebookLM to organize my digital book collection, and the results were immediate - by Parth Shah www.xda-developers.com/used-noteboo… #AI #NotebookLM #books

Text Shot: I decided to create a notebook based on a single, core source: one favorite book per NotebookLM notebook. But it doesn’t end here. Since NotebookLM supports multiple file types, I also added contextual sources.

I began treating that notebook like a dedicated research file for the book. I went to Google and retrieved all the relevant text I could, saving it as individual sources within the same notebook.

I copied and pasted the author’s biography from their official website, along with any interesting interviews I found about their writing process. I even added a couple of links from websites like GoodReads to give the AI access to public perception and critical commentary.

Now, instead of having a book file here, a review link there, and my notes somewhere else entirely, I have a single, comprehensive, and intelligent hub.

AI coding tools only work as well as the context you give them. Right now, too much of that context lives in silos. PRDs in one place, tech design in another, and private AI threads on someone’s laptop.

Developers: how do you organise documentation for both humans and AI agents? AGENTS.md and separate dev docs? co-location or @ imports? Our team is using several AI tools (cursor, claude code, codex, github copilot...) so I'm looking to streamline that :)

AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.
