About this blog

Hi, I’m Matthieu and you are reading my blog. I like to write about ideas, learnings, reasonings, and opinions, which may or may not be rants.

You might have caught on this blog domain, “imatter.io”. imatter was an early option for my not-yet-public TaskMatter app, and I got the domain. I then realised the therapy baggage behind “I matter” would work well for the kind of blogging I want to do. This blog is a little bit therapeutic, forcing me to clarify what I think, and what I want to do. If it allows me to connect with others and learn from each other, that’ll be a cherry on top.

Now, that’s not all there is. There’s another meaning to “I matter”. In a world where AI can be framed as a replacement for human work, I matter is also a reminder that our welfare is the point of all this. It argues that we should flip the narrative. Instead of focusing on AI replacing people, we focus on the people getting superpowers. People can now achieve goals that were previously out of reach.

This narrative flip is at the core of the software I’m building. My software is designed to help us understand how to get to our goals, and then focus on what matters so that we can reach these goals, whatever they are. This blog relates my experience building that software as well as my own experience using it.
