Haven’t tried the app and not to be disrespectful but I would prefer something like system wide app that can explain the highlighted text anywhere after pressing a shortcut in a tooltip. That way anywhere if you find any word or sentence you want explained you just highlight press shortcut and find out and continue reading, was looking for such app but didn’t find any lightweight single purpose app

Yeah it should have your preferences for things to do stuff based on your aesthetics but I see how it could become security nightmare

I’ve been toying with a concept inspired by Apple’s Find My network: Imagine a decentralized, delay-tolerant messaging system where messages hop device-to-device (e.g., via Bluetooth, UWB, Wi-Fi Direct), similar to how “Find My” relays location via nearby iPhones.

Now add a twist: • Senders pay a small fee to send a message. • Relaying devices earn a micro-payment (could be tokens, sats, etc.) for carrying the message one hop further. • End-to-end encrypted, fully decentralized, optionally anonymous.

Basically, a “postal network” built on people’s phones, without needing a traditional internet connection. Works best in areas with patchy or no internet, or under censorship.

Obvious challenges: • Latency and reliability (it’s not real-time). • Abuse/spam prevention. • Power consumption and user opt-in. • Viable incentive structures.

What do you think? Is this viable? Any real-world use cases where this might be actually useful — or is it just a neat academic toy?

If this topic lights you up, you have to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn0itlgBZAA. It dives deep into the geometry of hallucinations, the mechanics of feedback loops in the brain, and how altered states might just be us tuning into the signal of ourselves. It bridges neuroscience, pattern recognition, and philosophy in a way that makes the whole psychedelic experience feel less like “woo” and more like elegant system dynamics. Whether you’re team “signal feedback” or leaning toward the mystical—this video gives both sides something to chew on. I promise, it’s not just trippy visuals—it’s insightfully grounded.
