Things like Apple’s Voice Control and hands-free input tools like Talon are cool…

But I’m increasingly frustrated that I have to act like a computer to get my wishes across. I don’t enjoy speaking in cryptic, pre-defined utterances. I want to talk like a person. The computer needs to accommodate me not the other way around.

I don’t know if this is something AI/LLMs can help with or not, but idk. It’s like one day I just woke up and thought, I’m tried of *being* a computer to use one.

I had a little bit of a bumpy start rolling out A Fine Start v3 to Firefox peeps (my first submission still had development URLs 😬). But after frantically squashing bugs and submitting several versions back-to-back, I think it’s in good shape.

Firefox was my testing group. So now I’ve submitted Chrome and Edge. Should be rolling out sometime soon!

And there’s also a hosted version here: afinestart.me/bookmarks

Version 3 of my new-tab-page browser extension, A Fine Start, is nearly ready. Should be launching this week.

New features include supporting up to 7 columns, 5 new themes, bulk opening groups, and alphabetizing bookmarks.

There are also improvements like better keyboard navigation and soother drag-and-drop.
