If you're in Sydney and attending www2025.thewebconf.org come say hi, I'd love to chat!
I'll also be presenting this as a poster on Day 5, noon in the Parkside Ballroom @ ICC Sydney
Supernotes are also found to be superior on several other parameters, such as source quality, clarity, comprehensiveness, context and (lack of) argumentativeness
Beyond helpfulness, participants also rated the Supernotes more favorably than the best existing notes on quality, clarity, coverage, context, and argumentativeness.

(b) using LLMs to compose these notes in language that is more broadly appealing and helpful

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, itβs actually quite different. Itβs an open network.
I blogged about it here:
90 days ago Bluesky had 6.18M users
30 days ago Bluesky had 10.85M users
Tomorrow Bluesky will have 15M users
This is absolutely wild, thanks for believing in us y'all
