A Revolutionary System for Creating Content While Riding

4 min read

All my life I had the problem that ideas would slip away from me. I had the inspiration, I had the motivation, but the moment I thought about sitting down to write — in a notebook, on the computer, wherever — something would block.

I can't think of a better way to start this blog than with something that changed how I express myself to the world.

This article is being recorded while I'm riding my motorcycle running a few errands in the city. Yes, recorded. Not written.

I needed to solve this

My whole life I've had the problem of ideas slipping away. I had the inspiration, I had the drive, but the moment I thought about sitting down to write — in a notebook, on the computer, wherever — something would block me. The idea would vanish. And I'd be left with the feeling that I'd lost something that wouldn't come back.

It's not that I didn't want to write. It's that the act of sitting down to write stopped me before I even started.

I'd already experimented quite a bit with vibe coding and knew that technology could help with this. It wasn't a question of if it was possible, but when I was going to sit down — ironically — to build it.

What happens when I'm riding

When I'm riding, I relax. Not physically — I'm paying attention to traffic, especially in San Salvador where it's getting worse every day — but mentally. There's something about the movement, the music, that makes thoughts flow in a way that doesn't happen when I'm standing in front of a screen.

Project ideas, connections between things, reflections that I don't know where they come from. That's when I think best. And for years, that moment was wasted.

What I tried before

I sent voice notes to myself via WhatsApp. It worked to remember the idea, but they just stayed there: accumulated, not turning into anything concrete, not readable for anyone, not even for me after a while.

The problem wasn't capturing the idea. It was the next step: transforming it into something publishable. That step was what cost me, what held me back.

How the system works

It's simpler than it sounds. You enter the admin panel of the site, click on start recording, and talk. When you finish, that audio goes straight to an AI that transcribes it. That transcription goes to another AI that transforms it into a JSON file ready to be saved in the database. The result appears in drafts: I just go in, make small adjustments, and publish it.

One step on my part. Everything else, automated.

What it took to build it

It wasn't the hardest project I've tackled, thanks to vibe coding. But it's not something anyone can do by opening an AI editor for the first time. It required knowledge of the right frameworks and a basic understanding of databases. It was a project where previous experience mattered.

What surprised me was that I never wanted to abandon it. The idea of being able to build this kept me moving forward even when something didn't work.

The first time it really worked

I recorded something, waited, and it appeared. Ready to publish.

What I felt was a release. Not just from the technical step, but from the mental weight of all the steps I no longer had to do. And instead of wanting to rest, I felt like continuing to create. That's when you know you've built something worthwhile: when it gives you energy instead of taking it away.

Who else needs this

I think of people who have wanted to start a blog for years and never got around to it. Content creators who get blocked by the written format. People who have valuable ideas but don't consider themselves "technical." All the people who spend an hour in San Salvador traffic listening to music, when in that same time they could be building something.

You don't need to know how to program to use a system like this. You just need to have something to say.

Why mushrooms are here too

Someone might wonder what this system has to do with mushrooms, with agroecology, with everything else I do.

My answer is that it's all part of the same ecosystem. Mushrooms, reflections, automation, technology: all of that is me. I don't need to justify why they coexist in the same space. This system is not a marketing tool. It's a system of expression. And what I express is who I am.

What's next

The audios are saved. The system is running. The idea is simple: to publish, constantly and freely, so that people who don't know me can find me.

A year from now, I want this blog to be a reference — in mycology, in automation, in whatever I'm thinking that day — and for people who come here to also find a shop where they can bring something concrete into their lives.

This first post is the start of that. Thanks for reading.
