I’ve tried _so_ many different desktop workflows (including writing two custom window managers!), and I’ve finally settled for the exact same workflow - F -keys bound to my most common apps, all fullscreened. It becomes muscle memory withi

I've fallen all the way down this rabbit hole - from a full-size to a 60% to an ergodox to a CRKBD (36 key split) - and come all the way out again, settling with a chiclet standard qwerty (Apple wireless keyboard). I think the central

KJo is a slam-dunk open OTB, but I get your point!

This book actually gets quite a lot of hate on HN as parts of it have been debunked (or are at least heavily argued about): https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/

Heh, first time I’ve seen this. I’m of the opinion that as long as you’re not using something wildly out of place like papyrus or comic sans in a professional setting, it’s not hugely impactful what font you choose. You can spend hours comp

Typography, to me, is one of those things that’s simultaneously incredibly boring and completely fascinating. On the one hand, it’s something you experience (whether consciously or not) for a large part of your day, and each font you read i

Some unsolicited advice for you: * That initial "How to use it" diagram completely puts me off the product - it seems dizzyingly complex, and to have that right at the top before I even know what the product is seems like a mistak

I currently use a third-party git GUI (GitKraken atm) but I also use jetbrains products, am I missing out by not using the integrated git functionality? If so, is there a tutorial or guide you could recommend, or is it all fairly self-expla

I went to checkout your profile as I was interested in seeing what products you've made, and I saw on your website you've got a mailto link. I was thinking of adding the same thing to my site, but I'm worried about crawlers p

This is why I'm cancelling my hey subscription as well. I get that they are upfront about it being a feature, and it sounds great at first, but it's made me paranoid about missing mails now - a feeling I never got with any other s

Ah I hadn't clocked that part - it's actually a tool to get the upper-hand against a _particular_ known opponent. Not that useful to me, but cool to know it exists!

What does this provide that the chess.com analysis engine doesn't? I'm a chess rookie but I find the engine's suggestions and playing through paths much more useful than just seeing what moves people have played against me an

I presume the right time was 20-30 years ago?

Just took a look at your product, I'm very impressed and have added myself to the waitlist. I'm almost even more impressed by the domain name itself though - how on earth did you manage to bag that domain?!

I'd definitely recommend giving dedicated hotkeys (one per app) a try - it's very hard to go back to alt-tabbing after being able to switch so effortlessly. As I say, I use Thor, but I'm sure there's a bunch of alternati

Ah, interesting. I think we've arrived at a very similar setup, albeit implemented in different ways. I too use a MacBook and external monitor, and fullscreen my apps, but I just let them take up the whole screen minus the bar at the

Interesting, can you expand on your workflow a bit more? I'm of the exact opposite opinion - I think Mac's window management is the absolute worst thing about using a Mac - so I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong.

In DOTA, sure. In real life, that lesson isn't uniformly applicable, and could lead one to give up and go with the herd when that might not be the right thing to do.

I'm not sure I agree with this lesson. I've sunk 1000s of hours into DOTA 2, and would agree with you in such a game where emotions run high and considered, reasoned responses aren't possible, but I think it's a poor tak

I can echo this exactly - 16GB RAM M1 MacBook Air, runs like a dream except for Android development, which is sluggish and downright broken. I can't even compile some APKs - I can't use an ARM JDK, and rosetta 2 fails during compi

The only winning move is not to play - oddly apt for some of the EvilCorp sites!

The "choose a country to agree to the terms and conditions" should have an alternative answer - let the timer run out! I was really smug about answering that one until it marked it as incorrect.

Agreed, but that only hammers home the point even more - I don't have time to mine the ore and smelt the iron and fashion the perfect knife tailored to me when I've got deadlines to hit and there's a perfectly good knife read

I definitely get having distinct sprints and seeing where you are at in the bigger picture, but this can absolutely be achieved without distancing yourself from the rest of the human race who are all using a different timekeeping system. It

I'm absolutely on your side in theory - big bloated layers on bloated layers for a Todo list app grinds my gears more than you can imagine, but moving back to more primitive tools and inconvenience in the name of climate change seems l

I honestly can't tell if I love this piece or hate this piece. On the one hand, it really kicked off my imagination, and I started to yearn for absolute computing simplicity and efficiency. A world where I can run absolutely anything I

FYI, Firefox focus sounds perfect for you - it doesn't track history or save any state, and wipes itself after use.

Thanks for the concrete example, that's super interesting. Do you find this level of granularity helps, both short-term and long-term? I tend to find in a busy day that I've completely neglected to update my DONE list, and my susp
