My Working Notes

I’m Devon Meadows. Dad. Thinker. Tinkerer. Right now I’m CTO at Cake. This is my working brain in public.

I walk and talk into my phone a lot. 60-minute voice dumps on mountain walks. For a long time, those ideas got buried in messy transcripts. I realized Manual note refinement doesnt scale. So I built a system.

I’m building the Cake app and the site. I’m still developing Morning Paper. And I’m getting back into Commune, the project that got me here. It powers this site. Six months of building software, sites and agents moved my skills enough that the parts I used to route around are ordinary work now. The receipts are in my GitHub activity.

I’ve been playing with Herdr lately and building up the home lab. I make wall sheets for tools I use enough to learn by muscle memory because Printed references turn recall into recognition. The first one covers it.

I run Noontide. Main Branch is its product and it keeps running. Neither is what I’m heads-down on this season.

These notes are Evergreen Notes. They compound. This page is triage, not an index — The home note triages to your best ideas. The sliding panes owe a debt to Andy Matuschak’s Notes. His work showed how interface shapes thinking.
