ways hawk is practically useful for me, right now

the next release of hawk will be more performant and more powerful.

but don't let that stop you from playing around with it now. here's a list of ways it's useful to me right now.


  • a generic scratchpad for random thoughts, door codes, and one-off lists that i don't want to hold in my head.

    • all available from my phone

    • like apple notes, without the apple

  • managing a small collection of music to listen to while working. all uploaded to S3 via hawk

  • subscribing to RSS feeds for all my “content consoooming”

  • editing files in clay

    • i do most of my dev work from inside of hawk

  • managing a small collection of recipes

    • at urls i can easily share with others

  • this /outbox folder

    • everything under /outbox in my hawk is public

    • so i just make a new file, then share the link i'm currently looking at

  • habit tracking

  • “tree-shaped” journalling

    • log entries at the year, season, week, and day levels

    • see summaries of entries at all the different levels

    • i think of this as a “guided autobiography” or akin to Jordan Peterson's “self-authoring”

  • iframes to all my other urbit apps

  • vibe curration and creation via ~wisbyr-pollec

  • effort poasting on the hawk.computer blog

  • testing small pieces of hoon code

    • like the dojo, but way easier

    • :-  %vase  !>
      'whatever hoon'
      
  • generating invoices as downloadable PDFs
