Reading
Books, notes, and the tools I build around reading.
current focus
Ever since I was a child, I've read almost anything I could get my hands on. Everything from technical books, philosophy, classics, People Magazine, basically whatever catches my attention. I take chapter-level notes in Obsidian and occasionally build tools to analyze what I'm reading. I recently built a system that analyzes books while providing a UI with overlayed AI analysis. The Aeneid was the first book I ran through what I call bookalysis, an EPUB/PDF analysis pipeline with LLM-powered annotations.
