Local first then smart plugins

It’s been two years since I adjusted my laptop’s white space to a look similar to that spawned by IA Writer. More importantly, I’ve kept my focus on writing–both on my keyboard devices and on my phone. This focus relegates any sort of chat. In my freshly pruned workspace, the chat lane stays on the side for routed, context-rich, longer-running work inside my Obsidian Vaults.

If I need to go deep, I toggle outside for Pro versions with chat sessions. That includes e-mail and Signal. It’s going to involve Telegram soon.

If you’re interested in my plumbing, Smart Chat API Pro is where I run per-thread routing, richer context handling, and higher-control chat workflows.
