We’re a real clinical service, using a novel DSL, interactive video UI, and other software to scale our patient capacity. We provide treatment for (chronic) back pain, and soon, other common conditions. Flok is both a clinic and a consumer product company, so we can learn fast and perfect the patient experience.

Flok builds and runs explainable AI (not LLM-based) physiotherapy clinics. We currently operate in the UK healthcare system.
We’re a real clinical service, built on software solving hard problems across expert systems and real-time video streaming, providing treatment for (chronic) back pain, and soon, other common conditions. Flok is both a "clinic" and a consumer product company, so we can make our patients' experience as good as possible.

In the times where an emotionally charged goal isn't driving me forward, adhering to disciplined regimes for time and knowledge management has helped me to prepare and therefore perform better in times there IS a highly motivating goal.
There don't have to be two extremes of X-management (one fuelled by emotion and one dragged down by apathy). Like anything, building a discipline in the slow times will set you up really well for when you need to run hard in the fast times.
All that said, I use Roam Research[0] for my knowledge management now. I consolidate my thoughts and ideas weekly, and aim for evergeen knowledge[1].
The killer feature isn't the language; it's the virtual machine abstraction, which lets us stop thinking about the underlying infrastructure and therefore build stuff faster and have simple performance/observability/cost metrics (because the application logic is fully and formally described, rather than spread across many services/infrastructure). Does that explanation make sense?
From a dev point of view, it's this: The ability to take business-logic "units" in Python, and quickly connect them into larger programs/workflows that run on Lambda.
So the language features aren't particularly interesting - it's not meant to replace Python. But it can do things that are hard/awkward using just Python.
- "serverless language". Fair point; I'm still working on how to describe it. I'm trying to get across the idea that it's a language for describing serverless applications (rather than a language that runs in a serverless env).
- flow charts: working on it
- new language: you're right, that section is pretty cringy
Hey HN! This is what I've been working on for the last 6 months. I'd love your feedback!
The current goal is to build data pipelines really fast and operate them really well, but I'm also interested to see how far the VM abstraction can be pushed. What would "soft infrastructure" look like?
