Psuedoprose
Taylor Troesh’s pseudoprose is a notation for writing/note-taking/thinking:
How to
- Write in English, Spanish, whatever.
- Grammar is optional.
- Markdown is encouraged.
- Embed in any document with [[…]] brackets.
- Use {…} for comments.
- Use <<…>> for LLM instructions.
- “tk” means “todo”.
Why
- Jot down notes/ideas quickly.
- Focus on semantics over syntax.
- Less text to edit.
- Offload grunt work to LLMS.
Notably, also a notation for annotating LLM/AI/Copilot interactions directly into your text. For the wonks, a GPT-4 prompt is included to convert psuedoprose to well-formed Markdown without any code. What a world.
Other folks’ ways of writing and taking notes are endlessly fascinating.
