I’ve vibe-coded a fully functioning HTTP server for Logseq’s CLI.

I've updated the Logseq DB FAQ, and given it a short, easy to remember (or share) URL:
bit.ly/logseqfaq
There is a skill-making skill that comes with Claude Desktop. You can import it to Claude Code, or find it on Github.
In just the last hour I've had Claude Code teach itself how to use both the Logseq CLI and the Zotero local API and save that knowledge as a "skill" so it can be referenced whenever I need it!
Claude Skills are both an incremental improvement over projects and MCP, but are also revolutionary.
Apple did something very similar to the people of Hong Kong in 2019, removing an app that allowed protesters to track police movements via crowdsourced information:

Interesting to compare @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social's excellent reporting with this dismissive and condescending post by @gruber.foo back in April.
A combination of good journalism and a tech-worker-led revolt from within Microsoft has led to a small victory.

I do not recommend turning on the new file access feature in Claude. They pose a serious security risk.
Screen showing accessibility settings with “Reduce Transparency” off and “Increase Contrast” on.
Pro-tip for anyone who upgraded to iOS 26. This will make the new UI much less annoying. These are in the accessibility settings.
It isn't obvious but "reduce" transparency will actually turn it off, while "increase" contrast will actually reduce transparency.
Every time a tech bro makes a new app to help people read the news, the categories are: World, Cryptocurrency, Business, Sports ... Would it kill them to get people who actually read news to help come up with the categories?
I guess I actually was pretty mad about that stupid golden paperweight www.anildash.com/2025/09/09/h...
But I found a solution! A command line app that runs off of Tesseract OCR and supports over 100 languages. Like ABBYY it can do two languages at once, and it can also compress PDFs to take up less space. You can find it here:
github.com/ocrmypdf/OCR...
I spend a lot of money for ABBYY Fine Reader OCR, because it is the best app I've found for doing OCR on texts that combine Chinese and English text. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro via a our Creative Cloud license. But neither of these apps supports Indian languages, for some reason. (Cont'd)
An excellent overview of how to handle task management in the new database version of Logseq (which is still in alpha testing).
While @obsidian.md doesn't have the equivalent of Logseq's NewTags, you can create a page template and apply it to existing pages - the page template properties will be applied. Works fairly well.
For instance, you can show all pages with a given tag, or all pages in a particular folder path. Then you can check off which properties to display in the table by checking them off in the property menu.
Here's a tip on how to get started. (Documentation is still sparse.)
After creating a new base, use the "filter" menu to set it which pages to include, and the "property" menu to choose what columns to display.
(Continued)
all your base are belong to *you*
Sad at the demise of Pocket, which used to be "read it later" and was one of the first (the first?) app in that category. I use @readwise.bsky.social now, but was still recommending Pocket as a good free option to my students. Shame @mozilla.org wasn't able to give it the home it deserved.
I'm loving it, but I agree. Hopefully after they iron out all the bugs and launch sync, etc. they can focus on usability - especially on mobile. Sync will be part of Logseq Pro (along with collaboration and publishing) which will hopefully give them the money they need to hire someone for this.
I wrote a detailed post over in the #Logseq forums explaining how to use NewTags in LogseqDB, with examples from my own workflow.
If you are curious about the new database version of Logseq, but don't want to test it yourself, @hdanzu.bsky.social has you covered with a one-hour-long video tour:
There are a couple available for Obsidian already. Eventually, should be possible for someone to make one to work with Logseq DB...
Just beginning to appreciate what is possible with Claude AI's Model Context Protocols. Here's a quick start guide:
Not much use posting this here, but . . .
If your company is still on X, I probably don't want to do business with you.
Still, Siracusa's version adds a lot of safeguards, explanations, and options, so I feel a bit safer using it...
But this app is a one - time purchase and seems to do the same thing?
