Personal 2nd Brain (Brain 2.0)
About
My personal life and learning OS.
What It Does
- Library: Book collection with Goodreads CSV and Kindle sync import, status tracking, ratings, tags, and a dismissed-books recovery view.
- Articles: Save web articles via a proxy reader, group them, and add notes alongside the source.
- Knowledge Graph: Interactive concept mapping with ReactFlow - multi-board so different domains stay separate.
- Whiteboard: Excalidraw canvas for sketching systems, kept alongside the notes they belong to.
- Study Partner (AI): Context-aware Claude chat with full library awareness, now wired to the Claude Code CLI SDK.
- Dream Diary: Dream logging with scenes, symbols, and Gemini image generation. Atmosphere toggles (blue vibes, realistic, surreal, dark/moody, warm/golden, custom) modify the prompts sent to Gemini.
- Dancing: YouTube dance video collection, organised by style.
- Music Making Center: Live-coded music with Strudel and live-coded visuals with Hydra, in a browser code editor with pattern saving and atmosphere presets.
- Task Board: Local-first task tracking with pipelines, dependencies, and notes - imported from ClickUp via MCP so I could move off the subscription.
- Health Tracking: Calisthenics logging (sets, reps, duration), skincare routines, progress photos, measurements, and consistency stats via Chart.js.
- Map with Pins & Photos: Leaflet + OpenStreetMap with categorised pins (visited, want to visit, lived, favourite), photos and notes per pin, filterable sidebar.
- Dashboard & Import/Export: Stats and charts across the modules, full JSON backup, and per-module import/export.

Daeda 2nd Brain (Business OS)
The Daeda Tech business OS - a centralized hub where the AI has full context of the business, including Stripe revenue snapshots and growth metrics. This is distinct from my personal 2nd brain; this one is purely about running Daeda. ## What It Does - **Custom MCP Servers:** Developed internal Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to expose 2nd Brain data (Stripe, PostHog, Kanban) directly to AI chat interfaces, allowing for real-time data retrieval and business analysis. - **Custom Infrastructure:** Rebuilt a custom Kanban board with integrated timers and journey mapping (allowing me to cancel my ClickUp subscription). - **Analytics Integration:** Hooked into the PostHog API to track site impressions and monitored YouTube growth/video stats in a single view.
Daeda AI
The spine between your AI and HubSpot. Ask your CRM a question and get an answer in 30 seconds. Spin up segmentation lists in minutes. Configure an entire portal in 2 steps instead of 200 clicks. Build renewal tracking systems and create workflows - all from a single conversation. Daeda Tech's flagship product. Jack builds out the project, I focus on distribution (YouTube, AEO/SEO).
Auto Associations Pro
I helped develop this HubSpot app that automatically creates associations between CRM records based on custom rules. We designed it to eliminate manual linking and reduce data fragmentation. Our custom rules define logic like 'associate all Contacts from Companies to Deals'.
