  4. Totally forgot about #Monologue's ability to record audio notes straight from the action button.

  5. I programmed my iPhone action button to dictate a thought and drop it into the correct Things project automatically.

    #Monologue does the transcription. It just gets me.

  6. On iOS 27 public beta since this morning.

    Good stuff.

    New Siri is pretty interesting. Curious how it will evolve this beta cycle.

    Will add deeper integration via App Intents to #Monologue and other apps in August. ✨

  7. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    Soliloquy is the smoke exhaled by the inmost fires of the soul.

    Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
    The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Book 2, ch. 4 (1.2.4) (1869) [tr. Unknown (1869)]

  8. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    He questioned and answered himself; he glorified and insulted himself. One could hear him from the street monologuing in his hut. The passers-by, who have their own way of appreciating witty people, said: he is an idiot.
     
    [Il s’interrogeait et se répondait ; il se glorifiait et s’insultait. On l’entendait de la rue monologuer dans sa cahute. Les passants, qui ont leur manière à eux d’apprécier les gens d’esprit, disaient : c’est un idiot.]

    Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
    The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Preliminary, ch. 1 (1.0.1) (1869) [tr. Lavelle (2003)]

  9. A quotation from Richard Steele

    It is a Secret known but to a few, yet of no small use in the Conduct of Life, that when you fall into a Man’s Conversation, the first thing you should consider is, whether he has a greater Inclination to hear you, or that you should hear him.

    Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
    Essay (1711-04-26), The Spectator, No. 49

    Titanic: The Stacked Deck


    The Stacked Deck
    by Stewart Stafford

    I am the last man alive on the Titanic.
    Do they commemorate rote chivalry?
    Did they notice in the lifeboats
    as I was savaged by the ravenous sea?

    Into choking darkness, I fell tumbling,
    The ship’s name eaten up in black,
    Freezing water smothered my lungs;
    Even if found, there’s no way back.

    Women and children first, they said!
    Our end certain as the sinking prow,
    Would mothers now nobly step aside
    to grant my final resting place somehow?

    Classless wine, champagne bottles bobbed;
    Numb fingers clasped at Old World pleasantries.
    From the mass grave: “Tomb it may concern…”
    The guilty waves murmur my eulogies.

  11. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    Of a disposition at once unsociable and talkative, desiring to see no one, yet wishing to converse with some one, he solved the difficulty by talking to himself.
     
    [D’une complexion farouche et bavarde, ayant le désir de ne voir personne et le besoin de parler à quelqu’un, il se tirait d’affaire en se parlant à lui-même.]

    Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
    The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Preliminary, ch. 1 (1.0.1) (1869) [tr. Unknown, Authorized (1871)]

    President #Trump boasted about plans to blow up civilian infrastructure in #Iran, children attending a White House #Easter event got an earful from the president...

  14. The element even more amazing than the #cast and the production values is the #writing. Teleplay #author Stewart Harcourt has written the most remarkable #monologue for Poirot, so much so that I had to rewind to rewatch.

    It is a performance that reveals Poirot’s internal realization and the disgust he has for these people, this situation, and the entrapment forced upon all involved:

  15. For those who are looking for alternatives to #wisprFlow, can try #Monologue. The start button is easier to find, and you can use other familiar features from WhisperFlow, like dictionary. There are other features that I love, like custom instructions and various modes, like email, messaging, and notes. I will provide my referral link in case you need it. (1/2)

  16. Here is how #Monologue looked like before I took over.

  17. #Monologue was an interesting experiment. The app was completely vibe-coded and I got hired to clean everything up and make it look good.

    The result is now available in the App Store.

  18. 🎵 Breaking news: Aphex Twin talks to a guy who used to work at Korg! 🎹 Apparently, they collaborated on something called a "Monologue"—presumably a device that puts audiences to sleep faster than the actual interview. 🤔 zzz...
