If you’re deep in Level 3 “Building Your Stack” or just tired of wrestling with half-baked AI memory hacks, I’ve got something you’re going to love. **Meet OB1 — Open Brain** . It’s not another rabbit hole. It’s the infrastructure layer for your thinking: One database + one AI gateway + one chat channel — and any AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, whatever drops next month) plugs straight in. No middleware. No SaaS chains. No Zapier spaghetti. Why this matters right now (the pain we all feel) Right now “managed memories” are a vendor-lock-in trap: - Claude has its own memory. - ChatGPT has its own memory. - Cursor has its own. - Every new model that ships next quarter will have its own. Your life story, your household knowledge, your job-hunt pipeline, your taste preferences — they’re all trapped inside proprietary silos. Want to switch providers? Start from zero. Want to let two AIs talk about the same context? Build brittle integrations and pay for every hop. Want semantic recall across tools? Good luck.That’s not hacking — that’s renting brain space from landlords who can change the locks whenever they feel like it. OB1 flips the script You get one single source of truth: a Supabase Postgres table (thoughts) with built-in vector search. Every AI talks to the same persistent memory of you through an open Model Communication Protocol (MCP) gateway. - Capture thoughts via Slack/Discord/email → instantly embedded and indexed. - Any AI reads/writes with row-level security so your household data stays private. - No more copy-paste hell. No more “which model remembers what?” It’s literally the open brain layer that the big vendors refuse to give you — because once you own your memory, you own your stack. Built for us The repo is designed for exactly the kind of people in this skool: - 45-minute AI-assisted setup (Cursor or Claude Code can literally build it for you from the README). - Extensions folder with ready-to-extend modules (household KB, meal planner, CRM, job-hunt pipeline). - Primitives, schemas, recipes, and dashboards so you can fork, remix, and ship your own agent memory layers. - Full TypeScript + Python + Supabase stack — perfect for the “custom UIs + infrastructure” crowd.

My son and I have been building a baseball game together in Claude Code. He designed what he wants in a PRD, He drives the build while I watch, and we've gotten pretty far just describing what we want and letting the AI write it. It kinda works, he can kinda play it. But we've hit the limit of vibe-coding our way through it. Here's our problem: we don't actually understand the fundamentals of how a game is put together. So when something's off, we're guessing. We moved one base on the field across many separate sessions because we have no mental model for how this stuff is supposed to be structured.That's just one example of many. We're fighting it instead of building it. We don't want a quick fix. We want to learn the foundation so we stop flailing. What we're asking the community: 1. If you've built a game, what core concepts do we have to understand before anything else? We keep hearing "game loop," "state," "sprites," "collision" but we couldn't explain them to you. Explained to a 10 year old. 2. What's the right way to think about structuring a game so it's not one giant file? Ours is basically one 2,800-line file right now. 3. Best beginner resource you'd actually recommend for someone who learns by building, not by reading docs cover to cover? Course, YouTube, anything. Bonus if it's something a kid and a parent can work through together. 4. For someone using AI to write the code, what do we need to understand ourselves vs. what we can let the AI handle? For context, it's a React app drawing on a web canvas, but we think our gap is conceptual, not language-specific. We made the repo public and there's a full PRD if anyone wants to see what we're going for: - Repo: https://github.com/ruben-aguirre/diamond-scholar - The plan (PRD): https://github.com/ruben-aguirre/diamond-scholar/blob/master/docs/PRD-v2.1.md Not looking for someone to build it for us. We want to understand it well enough to direct it. My son and I are connecting, but now I'm getting frustrated because I can't help him the way I'd like, and the game isn't looking they way he wants it.

I turned one of my competition entries into a real business. That has been part of my goals with these comps—to see what I can drum up that’s been sitting in my head, waiting to escape into material reality. Like a true ADD entrepreneur, I have tried many other things while building my primary business. With every endeavor, I’ve either burnt out, or realized I didn’t have enough capital, or that I needed to stay focused on my original business. Well, I got my first lead ever (outside of the primary biz) for something I spun up here!!!! I will be mentioning ICM to them as “the final puzzle piece” since the core service I’m selling is marketing related, and I hope to upsell the client into the ICM later. I have the call on Friday. Even if they don’t buy, I’m so happy to get a lead. I have spent only $60 to test that business model and I got a lead. this is the best test I’ve conducted since my original business (luxury house cleaning, if you’re wondering) and I’m pumped. I’m looking for a 100/1 LTV/CAC ratio. I know it’s out there. Could this be it??? Let’s find out!

Remember the post from just a couple of days ago (feels like eternity) where I caught my AI hoarding my whole company in a folder it could see and I couldn't? The one where I called it a filing cabinet that kept everything in its pockets? It's fixed. And it got fixed because of this skool community, so this is the well deserved follow-up. Quick recap for anyone who missed it: my AI had spent weeks quietly stashing skills, workflows, and 149 facts about my business in its own private home folder, outside my repo, where my team couldn't see it and a dead laptop would have erased it. I ranted. You showed up. The evidence is here: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/my-ai-has-been-hoarding-my-whole-company-in-a-folder-i-cant-see-and-it-knows ------------------------------------ What we actually built (three layers) ------------------------------------ 1. A router. A plain table that tells the AI, for every kind of task, exactly which folder the output goes in. It doesn't get to "decide" anymore. It reads the row. 2. A cleanup. We went through all 149 buried facts one at a time and moved the ones that belonged in the repo into the repo. 95 of them. The drawer went from 149 down to 52. Most of what was in there never belonged there in the first place. 3. A hook. This is the important one. It's a tiny script that runs before every single save, and if the AI tries to stash anything in that hidden folder, it blocks it cold. I sat there and watched it block my own AI in real time, trying to do the exact thing that started this whole mess. I have never been so happy to get told no. ------------------------------------ The giant thank you: @Mira Bradshaw ------------------------------------ @Mira, I need to make this loud. You showed me the path. A routing table and create-memory method ARE the backbone of everything I just described. I took what you shared, adapted it to my setup, and it worked. The cleanup does not happen without you. Thank you, genuinely. You saved me weeks, a real headache, and a couple of gray hairs I can't afford with the houseful I've got at home.

TL;DR How can I build my folder/file system so that it can be accessed and used across devices? I am always on the go, sometimes working from my phone, sometimes my laptop, sometimes my husbands laptop, sometimes my desktop. I'm looking for a central hub to store my files on that will sync across devices. Is anyone already doing this? I've been using Obsidian Sync with a backup to GitHub but since I want to be able to use Jake's ICM system with the third layer of files and artifacts, Obsidian doesn't seem to be working great for that. Is anyone building their whole knowledge base right on GitHub or using a different cloud solution?
