A quotation from Emerson

   A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.
   In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2

Vielleicht ist das zum einen ebenso so eine kulturelle Frage, wie auch der persönlichen Vorlieben?

Kulturell, weil es in anderen Regionen dieser Erde durchaus tradiert ist, spontanen, unangekündigten Besuch erfreut einzulassen, wohingegen es in Deutschland schon als grobe Ungehörigkeit gilt, auch nur um 29 Uhr anzurufen.

Was persönliche Vorlieben angeht, so kenne ich um Freund:innenkreis Menschen die sich tatsächlich über spontanen Besuch freuen.

Psychologisch finde ich die Ablehnung spannend: Unangekündigter Besuch unterbricht die kontrollierte Alltagsordnung und viele Menschen, ich ebenfalls, haben ein Bedürfnis nach Kontrolle über Zeit und soziale Interaktion. Spontaner Besuch wird dann als Eingriff in die persönliche Autonomie erlebt.

🤔 Ah yes, another riveting exploration into the soul of software companies, where predictability is king and #spontaneity is the court jester. 📈 Remember folks, #efficiency is just a minor casualty in the war for #transparency, because who needs #adaptability when you have an endless spreadsheet of metrics? 🙃

#Chán #Buddhism in #China emerged through dynamic interaction with #Daoism and #Confucianism. #Daoist concepts like #spontaneity, non-action, and receptivity shaped Chán’s style and practice, while Confucianism influenced #ethics and social structure. In this post, we briefly examine, who Chán remained distinctly Buddhist, yet deeply adapted to Chinese thought:

Embrace the uncertainty

Ever since Werner Heisenberg formulated the uncertainty principle, physics has been grappling with the unsettling realization that the universe does not function like clockwork—a metaphor Newton introduced and which held sway for centuries. In a world where predictability and uncertainty intertwine, interpretations range from die-hard determinists, who reject quantum events despite the mounting evidence, to more esoteric merchants of doubt who exploit the ambiguity.

If Werner Heisenberg […]

46:06 "The next time I see you remind me not to talk with you, will you?

This is the spirit of #spontaneity and #improvisation. They were testing stuff out and to me it's obvious that here they were testing things and this is also sort of an in-joke between actors. Maybe not but at least it gave me an impression of that it might be something like that. One actor thinking the other actor's #creativity was too #mundane and responded.

Then they decided to keep it in!

#GOLDEN!

It is pure fantasy to think that you could have done things differently or lived your life any other way.

This dream of an imagined past feeds an equally unhelpful delusion of the future in which you consciously learn and strive to change ‘yourself’ and do things differently.

All of these behaviours and activities happen, of course, but not as the result of conscious so-called will but automatically and spontaneously from our unconscious.

We do what we do when we do it whatever our conscious awareness may declare to the contrary.

Our thoughts and ideas are the least of us. Always late to the party that’s already in full swing, uninvited yet full of their own self importance and righteousness. Taking credit for everything and responsibility for nothing.

💡 #Spontaneity landing page in progress, but coming soon! #ADHD #Neurodiversity #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

I like to buy flowers for my wife. If I set a fixed reminder to do this on the 1st of every month, it can feel scripted, which takes away from the gesture.

With #Spontaneity, I can set a rolling reminder to buy flowers sometime within the next month, keeping it feeling thoughtful and genuine. When that task is marked completed, then the next reminder is calculated within the following month (with a buffer ensuring two reminders don’t happen too close together).

#ADHD #Neurodiversity

Here's a start:

1. Landing page setup ✅
2. Signup via email & signup/login via Apple working via Supabase ✅
3. Reminders being pulled via Supabase db ✅
4. Actually cheered out loud and sent my wife a text with the success message when I created the first reminder through the app’s UI 🕺

Hey everyone! It's been 10 days since my last #Spontaneity update, but I'll be sharing plenty this weekend. Here's some highlights:

The good: Made huge strides in development. The app is really taking shape!

The bad: I maaaaaay have neglected the marketing & communcations side a bit. Oops.

Balancing a full-time job, family life, and app development (planning, coding, and marketing) is challenging. Fellow devs, how do you manage it all?

🚀 Spontaneity Update 2 🚀

Excited to share the latest progress on Spontaneity, my productivity app for individuals with ADHD!

✨ Expanded scope with new features
✨ Data schema set, frontend development in progress
✨ Sneak peek of the home screen
✨ Balancing launch with personal life (baby due in January!)

Check out the full update here: https://hyperfocus.dev/posts/spontaneity-public-post-2/

Your feedback means the world to me!

#BuildInPublic #ADHD #IndieDev #Productivity #Spontaneity #ReactNative

I'll be drafting up a new blog post going into all the progress made this week in the upcoming days. I don't believe I shared the last blog post here, so if you want to follow along here it is:

Getting the calendar and reminder list to stay in sync, whether you click the calendar or scroll the list, was challenging. It also had to default to today on the reminder list. It took me almost a full day of on-and-off work to figure it out. The animation still needs smoothing out, but I already have an idea for that and have documented it to revisit later.

#indiedev #buildinpublic #ReactNative #Spontaneity

Here’s a sneak peak of the home screen so far. It’s important to note I still have to finalize the brand color way, but I’m happy with the progress made so far.
#Spontaneity #indiedev #buildinpublic #ReactNative

I initialized the project using what ended up being a pretty great repo with a CLI setting up #ReactNative with Expo, Typescript, NativeWind, and Supabase for the backend: https://github.com/roninoss/create-expo-stack

#Spontaneity #indiedev #buildinpublic

Got my data schema to a decent place, decent enough to get the frontend started. You can view it here: https://dbdiagram.io/d/66f0b150a0828f8aa6ade1c6

#Spontaneity #indiedev #buildinpublic #ReactNative

Another hectic week! I've been deep in #Spontaneity the past few days and what I'm planning for the initial launch. I'm happy to say I've made enough progress to feel good about expanding the scope for launch.

As far as setting a date for the launch, I have 2 things I'm taking into consideration:

1. My son is due to be born in January
2. I don't want to launch right before he's born and then be unable to provide the app with the support it needs.

"In photography you have to make a tremendous effort not to repeat. Because the camera repeats and repeats and repeats. So you have to be strong and inventive and believe in something that you can change in it." [at 01:11]

Robert Frank (1924- 2019). The alchemist photographer who melts the spontanous and anarchic element into the documentary tradition.

I notice a funny pattern: the YouTube content I put the most effort into usually gets the worst reaction from the audience. The most spontaneous content performs much better. What is this? Authenticity in action?

#Spontaneity is both blessing and curse. The seed notions sprout mostly in real time as it where. The normal process is supposed to be refine, edit, then post. Refining things live is mostly the result of wanting to get the 1st take down before it vanishes. #Mastodon is not supposed to be a notepad. #Apologies in advance for however annoying this habitual abuse has become

🧵 1/3 As you told me before, my very first workshop with children (9 yrs old) in our heritage centre was perfect. It was such a joy to experience what most adults suppress: #enthusiasm, #curiosity, #passion to #experiment, thirst for #learning, and #spontaneity. I learnt at least as much from the children as they learnt from us.
My fear of having to keep an eye on everything was unfounded.

@GottaLaff Aargle bargles! The fruits of #spontaneity are always unexpected though Laffers, perhaps spending time with your agents and comps (and the Twinzies) will be an invaluable investment. We sure are cheering you on! It’s the Port Moody Transition Team. ☯️💜

"Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of trusting your instincts, of taking yourself by surprise and snatching from the clutches of your well-organized routine a bit of unscheduled pleasure." — Richard Iannelli — — — #RichardIannelli #quote #quotes #spontaneity #improvise #surprise #pleasure #joyful #unplanned #inventive
