mapped as geometry
of curiosity.

Dystilling what matters from the noise of your feeds. A daily edition composed from your own bookmarks across X and Nostr, read like a newspaper, not a timeline.

Coalescence of sparks

Science of representation

How curiosity becomes a dystillation

A spark captured, organized, revisited as a constellation, kept in a library, then found again and brought to life.

Curiosity

Spark

Everything starts with a spark of curiosity. DYSTIL lets you grab a bookmark, a thought, a URL, a website. That capture is a Spark.

There may not be many people left in 10 years who can write, or want to read, things longer than a page or two. But there will be at least a few of us, and we’ll be a powerful club.

This flow is how a spark comes to life.

They just need a place to talk to each other.
That place is DYSTIL.

What a spark is

SPARKS are everywhere and uniquely human

They indicate personal interests, personal curiosity, personal dreams, personal ideas, personal taste and curation.

Many forms

A quote. A voice note. A form left half-finished. A thread.

Each one is a spark: whatever pulled your attention long enough to keep.

Quote

And when knowledge is no longer scarce, what remains valuable? Wisdom.

You can get answers from AI. How you use them takes something else.
