We're working on an outline app with task management/planning functionality. With end-to-end encryption and multiuser/teams support (you can see other users type like Google Docs). Early beta signup at https://thymer.com
Just quickly clicking around makes it look like you are not working on it. It's explained, but it would be better to change some things around so it doesn't look completely dead. E.g.
> You can follow our daily progress / We share our progress daily and share everything, from code to finances.
> This is today's entry (Apr 28 '22).
It also gives false hope one could see the product in two weeks (which was a week ago).
I use Taskpaper everyday, both for To-do:s and to take notes. I’ll gladly switch to Bike the day it can do most of the thing Taskpaper can do. I’ll eagerly follow the development of it.
I struggle with this too. Whilst there is a lot of opportunities for learning and fun when setting these systems up, you soon forget how things intermingle and monitoring, upgrading, or debugging things becomes a chore.
Systems like this balloon in complexity with all of the different server hardware, IoT standards, subnets, cables, etc. For the average user, things that aren't easy or set-and-forget are probably too much. That sense of overwhelm is my personal experience, at least.
Maybe you could write a similar article, or point us to similar? I've tried using Zim wiki on a few occasions, and it just hasn't stuck for me. The plugins and offline nature really appeal to me.
I've pretty simple requirements. I would be using vimwiki if it displayed images. I'm also paranoid and don't want random companies controlling my data.
I'm more interested in functionality than pretty displays. I was like that when I found bullet journal.
I'm also in agreement with others here, I don't want to spend more time on the tool than I do on the job.
No one would read anything I wrote about my workflow!
One issue I have when using containers is that if I have a non-containerised tab and I click a link in it that leads to Twitter, which I have a container for, a new tab opens in the container, but the current tab also switches to a Twitter tab with the click, clobbering my session/history.
Is this a bug or conflict with another setting or add-on?
I have things like CanvasBlocker, uBlock Origin, Tree Style Tabs, etc, and disabled third-party cookies. But nothing that should actively interfere with it. wrt containers, I have Multi-Account Containers, Containerise, and Temporary Containers. It happens every time I go to a URL that has an associated container I've made (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc).
I might try resetting my container plugins to see if I can clear it.
Fixed it. Containerise has a separate "Keep old tabs" setting that is different to the Multi-Account Containers "Replace tab" functionality. It works as intended now. Horray!
What are your workflows for consuming YT videos and podcasts from RSS? Do you have something that automatically downloads that content or do you just click through to their sites? I’ve been trying to set something up for the former but haven’t yet found anything that I like.
I used to have direct feeds from my YouTube subscriptions, but they either killed or moved that feature. This runs on the same $5 vm as my RSS feed reader and works great.
Also check out https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub, it's aggressively compatible with websites that refuse to do RSS, and has a large community that keeps it up to date
The reasoning behind having the split-colour background is certainly unique and pretty interesting. However, I agree that it made the reading experience harder than it needed to be. My eyes kept darting above and below the dividing line.
I think people just find moderately interesting things online and post them on HN to maybe revitalise them and give them some exposure, or, pessimistically speaking, just in hopes to get some upvotes.
I love the concepts and workflow that org-mode, as well at surrounding extensions, promote. What I rue, however, is how tightly it is married to Emacs. vim extensions for it aren't up to the same level yet, and the mobile apps for org-mode are quite lacking, after trying them.
It just seems like it has so much promise, and people have done a lot of interesting things with it, but it's clouded behind this learning curve and toolchain.
