Nice. I wrote something about the incredible Sari when Sublime was called Startupy: https://www.whitenoise.email/p/startupy

“Imagine if Reddit, Wikipedia, the Social Science Research Network, ResearchGate, and Twitter had a more sartorially-elegant, sophisticated, insightful child. In this particular case, the sum far exceeds its constituent parts.

Just as Figma makes design both collaborative and communal, so too does Startupy knowledge work, research, and intellectual inquiry. It turns what is all too often a single-player game into a multi-player one.

It takes what curious curators and link hoarders once relegated to cluttered bookmarks or folders and brings these resources out into the open. Once there, a frenetic hubbub of passionate nerds delve ever more deeply into their chosen areas of interest, passion, and expertise, making public, networked connections and associations all the while

It embodies James Clear's advice: “Do interesting things. Share them publicly."”

Multiplayer is so key. I tried Sublime last year but didn't give enough effort to really get into it. Glad to see it's still going

Thanks, Evan. I'm curious to hear how you think this relates to Claude, ChatGPT and everything using connectors to integrate with Notion and other PKM-apps. This could kind of take care of the vibe based search and creativity aspect that Sublime is betting on.

This is where we reach the limits of my AI coding experience. Much of the bet will be can Sublime's UI/UX be overcome ChatGPT's superior unit economics and AI technical advantage. Also why Sari and team are pushing so hard on multiplayer—no other PKM app is doing it like they are and one of the few ways to add in network effects.

Nice. I use Obsidian and don’t need another “cloud” service but I like the design philosophy here.
