When I think of human brain or may be to some extent LLMs, it's difficult to understand what is invisible. For distributed systems we will build tools, there is ongoing research in LLM Observability, but I wonder what about human brain
What makes HN valuable to me is the opposite impulse: people trying to understand things for themselves from the community and in the process, maybe, discovering new ideas which LLMs can't supply. Because what LLMs don't know they don't know, LLMs think they know(that's why they predict next sentence) but we know they don't know and still some people think they know
Sometimes, I wish, there is no thinking tax: as a reminder of why this place exists & also to reward people who are still curious and thinkers
I WANT HN TO REMAIN A PLACE WHERE HUMAN CONVERSATIONS STILL HAPPENS.
Another question: can your architecture scale to thousands of developers & millions of traces?
I would love to hear from the community how are you handling tribal knowledge within your organisation

One suggestion: could you add tags to the research papers so readers can more easily filter by their interests? For example, I’m looking to follow recent work from top venues like NeurIPS specifically on training code-oriented LLMs. Tagging would make it much easier to dive into topics like that.
Thanks for your effort
A website makes more sense for businesses, investigators, or military users who need dashboards, exports, and controlled workflows.
Either ways: good luck
“More done in less time”: Right now that claim sounds like generic marketing. You could make it concrete by defining: What specific behavior Tinyfocus enforces (e.g., forces you to pick 3 MITs, limits WIP, shows a single “today” view).
How you’ll measure the impact: % days where all 3 tasks are done, reduction in active tasks, or fewer context switches per day.
Even anecdotal metrics like “users report shipping more often and feeling less overwhelmed after switching from a general todo tool” would already be stronger than a vague promise.
Differentiation vs Trello and others From the landing page and description, it’s still hard to see why a solo founder should use Tinyfocus over a simple Trello board or similar lightweight tools.
I don't know if any tool exists in this space or now: founders get ideas in transit, in the shower, between calls, and the friction of opening an app/website, navigating to the right place, and typing is real. A “voice‑first” capture flow (via Siri/Google Assistant/shortcuts) that instantly dumps tasks into Tinyfocus without opening the app would directly attack this friction
