Drive to Element Hotel with Faith

Faith Video Interview

Inspired by the Billy Eilish video series, Faith wanted to do an exercise where she records an interview with me, one year apart, same questions. So we spent 2 hours going through the 30 questions. She used a really good DSLR to the production quality is high. Haven't seen the footage but hoping it comes across well.

Doing more thinking about how to share more content. Did a big brain dump but ultimately all roads led back to Streams. It is by far the best way to ensure I both create and share content, but there are a few points of friction at the minute:

• Several of the existing streams on my timeline are already out of date

• Several of them are not relevant for public consumption.

• I don't like the overall feel - design aesthetic, formatting etc.

• It feels disjointed/disconnected from 1. My website (which has "articles"), and 2. Atlas, which I'd like to highlight much more

• I haven't developed a good intuition for what I should be sharing - reading back over previous posts and a lot of the stuff feels uninteresting.

Feels like the above could be solved with the combination of

• Moving "articles" from Roam static site into streams app, and having a layout that allow them to be listed as a plain old List of articles (without the timeline)

• Finding a way to bring some form of chronological grouping/ordering into Atlas (because it feels more "alive" to show content saved recently over all content)

• Incorporating customization into the streams design - allow creation of a custom top bar and adding "pages" and links to it - this could become the de-facto personal site, with

• Streams - making a distinction between Public, Private, and Hidden streams

Release: Upgraded top section (timeline, period selector & stream menu)
