This is just the kind of thing I love about the open internet: the insane amount of art available in archives, (e.g. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/, https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en, the Met, etc).

Adding this to the list for one of my side projects[0].

For your sife project, it would be nice to see a preview of what you're sending

Edit: I saw the small link to examples :)

Aha, once you start seeing via negativa[0] you’ll likely see it everywhere.

Those interested may find Dominion[0] an excellent read.

Seconded! Great read though maybe a bit reductive in places

So cool!

It recently dawned on me how we have a staggering amount of art available in these archives (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/, https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en, the Met, etc). It's truly staggering. Can't wait to use these images for my side project[0].

Europeana is also great. Such a huge amount of material available out there.

Done! https://fieldnote.ink/about

Appreciate you looking & for the candid feedback-- this is a rough "first draft".

Apologies for the confusion-- just added a short "about" section: https://fieldnote.ink/about.

I appreciate you taking a look and for your feedback!

You can now! Just added-- this is a very rough first cut :)

Thank you taking a look and for dropping feedback!

Excellent, thanks.

I don't quite know what this is - it's a new concept, to me, at least - but it's pressing some good buttons in my head.

I just realised, after testing that I'd inadvertently gine a bit too close to home, literally, when adding a note :)

Bookmarked, keeping an eye on you develop this! x

Appreciate it :)

At its heart, this was borne out of a desire to fashion technology to help integrate us, enabling a tiny bit more proximity and place amongst our fellows, rather than "uproot" it (as we can all too easily disintegrate, and treat ourselves as purely online beings in incorporeal cyberspace).

Think "Small Is Beautiful" (or really anything by Wendell Berry).

Hi HN!

I've come to think that in the future, the bottlenecks in the development lifecycle will mostly be related to the decisions of Product. In other words, if nearly everything is cloneable by Claude, CRUD is no longer a moat.

So: in the "efficient cloning market" hypothesis, everything able to be eaten by mimesis, who pushes the limits of "craft and beauty"?

Therefore, I've been wanting to grow in my sense of taste: having a palate for beautiful things and letting more of my life be characterized by their presence.

To that end, I built Flâneur; it's a simple site / newsletter that delivers a handful of beautiful things from museum archives across the world. It's very simple, but I found it to be a delight to work on and use.

Do have a look and send me your thoughts. Cheers! sm

It looks nice! but newsletters can't be Show HNs (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) so we've taken that bit out of the title.

Oh I didn't realize-- sorry about that!

RSS feed?

I'm sorry to say this exists: https://socialai.co

You, yes, you, can still do anything at https://zombo.com.

I still can't do things that I can't do, because at zombo.com, I am my own limit.

But the unattainable is unknown at zombo.com.
