I am trying to document learnings from debug sessions in an MD file as a sort of runbook. Looking for skills that could make that simpler.

Focus is a currency and you have a limited amount of it, if all SaaS is built internally, teams would go bankrupt. There's likely always going to be a band of experts focused on solving a problem and everyone pays them to solve it for them, because they do it better and can handle the hassle of maintaining it.
Giving an addict a hit also reduces anxiety.

Hi HN
I built CookPal to solve a small but annoying problem for myself: I kept saving recipes from websites, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, but never actually used them because they were messy, ad-heavy, and hard to follow while cooking.
CookPal lets you import recipes from:
Any recipe website (URL parsing)
TikTok / Instagram / YouTube links
Photos of recipes or screenshots
Manual text input
It turns them into clean, distraction-free recipe cards with features like Cook Mode, ingredient scaling by servings, and a simple shopping list.
This is an iOS app built with React Native (Expo) + a lightweight backend for parsing. It’s still early, and I’d love any feedback on UX, parsing accuracy, or missing features you’d personally want.

Happy to answer any questions about the tech or product decisions.
I like the idea of saving recipes online. What I wish existed was something which would let me take a photo of a dish I’m eating and tell me how to replicate it at home. There’s been so many times I’ve eaten something at a restaurant or someone’s house and want to make it at home, but it’s inconvenient to ask for the recipe.
This logic seems reversed though. If someone is primarily vibe coding, why wouldn't a phone be just fine?
Either way, there are still completely legitimate reasons why one would want to code on their phone, with or without AI.
That's what I meant to say, that task assignment to agents could shift to mobile. What experience would you personally like, from a mobile continuity perspective?
I'll also "Ssh + GNU Screen + emacs" occasionally on my phone and I'll be honest... it's way better to throw a bt/mini keyboard in the mix.
After that you can have a mostly normal desktop experience w/ the addition of a tablet. How long can a person stare at a screen that's only six inches?
So, ultimately I'd suggest using a tablet and [mini]keyboard with the phone as a hotspot instead; unless you're a die-hard masochist. Of course it's a slippery slope and a full laptop might be ideal for most users.
Phone displays are just too small.

Did you have something specific in mind?
Interesting, what got you interested in having a mobile setup btw?

I'm still brainstorming on this topic, would love any ideas. But one habit I am noticing amongst my friends and I is assigning a task to an agent, then moving onto the next task while the agent works on the previous one (this can be in codex, claude etc). All of this doesn't need to be on the laptop, infact it could be done through whatsapp or telegram. Let's say I have an ongoing chat with the agent, me giving instructions, getting a diff, reviewing and then hit to commit. Would be useful when I am away from my desk.
Another thing could be an information assistant, to keep me in the loop with what my agents are upto by summarising their performance and current active tasks and letting me butt in when they're stuck somewhere.
As you can tell I am still thinking it through :)
Many decades ago I had this vision that the quality of ones ideas scales with the distance from civilization and specially from computers. If true pocket computers would rule out good ideas.
I use to plan out entire projects in my head. Today I'm indeed guilty of chatting with llms rather than gaze at the horizon.
Me too, I find myself gaining or loosing motivation for projects based on social sentiment online. When you're in the real world, it's so different almost as if it's completely disconnected from what we see online. Especially in tech waves, we tend to focus on the fringe instead of making basic progress because we're afraid we're already too late. But when you step outside and talk to real people, you realise it's really not too late. So I agree, ideas get better the further away you are from a computer :)

Pixel FoldInteresting! I've been wanting to build something in this space. Any learnings you can share about your experience so far?
I've been thinking with the advancements of agents being more capable of being left alone and just treated like a co-worker, is anyone actually finding themselves doing the assingment tasks from their phone, away from their laptop.
