"Reflections on Making Audio Burrito Posts"

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.

"Next.js: Your Burritos, A Digital Multimedia Platform"

Your burritos are a digital platform that allows you to upload multimedia files to the web via an iOS shortcut. Participants of the experiment will have a personal webpage that recommends similar content they or others have uploaded, fostering a sense of community. There's a collaborative aspect for developers, with APIs available and the potential for collective improvement of the Next.js app. Keep in mind that the platform, especially for video uploads (currently capped at 100MB), is a work in progress and feedback is encouraged to refine the experience. The speaker instructs on how to use a digital tool, explaining that it can load various types of content. Users can add to the tool by accessing a shortcut through three dots, and their content should appear in the share sheet for photos, videos, audio notes, and text—though text support is limited at this stage. There's a file size limitation of 100 megabytes, which generally affects photos and audio. The speaker expresses gratitude for the willingness to participate and encourages feedback and engagement at any level, emphasizing a desire to build something beneficial for the group.
