Been creating a small tool called QuickPoint — it helps get ideas down fast with minimal friction and a keyboard-first approach.
Please feel free to try it out (it's free!).
What use cases or situations does it suggest to you? Would it fit into your existing note-taking or teaching workflow?
Thanks for any thoughts or experiences!

#GameChanger for R Scientists: The ellmer package lets researchers use #LLMs directly in R to extract structured data from documents. Supports tool use (running commands for accurate maths/date info) and batch processing. Great for literature reviews or automating data analysis. No JSON knowledge needed—just pure R! #DataScience #RStats #ResearchTools https://www.seascapemodels.org/rstats/2025/03/15/LMs-in-R-with-ellmer.html https://www.seascapemodels.org/rstats/2025/02/12/LLMs-for-literature-reviews.html
FutureHouse launched its AI platform for science, featuring tools like Crow & Phoenix. The goal: an AI scientist. While promising faster discovery, researchers remain cautious about AI reliability & real breakthroughs. Early days. #AIScience #FutureTech #ResearchTools
