Daily Obsidian user here. I often need to do a bit of math or adding numbers in a column, and could be the target market for this, but I'm not sure yet. I am confused about using Excel as a metaphor, and calling things "cells&quot

Very happy to be with hubitat. It’s OSS and not user friendly, but it mostly works with most devices and once it’s running I don’t have to maintain it except to restart (twice in about 3 years) I also like that if I did want functionality e

Testing User Interface code sucks. I hate it. It's difficult and fragile. You probably agree so far. Controversially; I also think UI testing is low value and the answer is to be pretty decisive about cutting it.

I wrote a post about this, because I think it surprises my engineering colleagues. But I think objectively, it's a better quality of life per dollar than anything else available in the area.

The distraction free workflow with timer motivation is a really killer feature. I wonder if you could handle the longer term PKM / organize / retrieve kinds of use cases by integrating really nicely with tools that focus on that,

Respectfully, might need to rename it if you’re going for broad adoption. Just imagine speaking the name of your product to a family member who asks what you’re working on, or the cashier at the grocery store asks what your startup is. I kn

I came here to say this. The similarity was so striking it was jarring. Both really great articles. Might both be explaining the ~same thing in different terms.

So you actually mentioned web3, but not the technology from it that is most interesting to me for this problem. I’m hopeful that “decentralized identity” is a solution here. In theory this would let people cryptographically prove whatever s

This is a beautiful app, thank you for making it. I can't find how to use a fixed-width font: are community themes the right way to accomplish that? Markdown is a whitespace sensitive format, it might be that fixed pitch is a candidate

+1 for A local only version of this that stores plain text somewhere on my hard drive. Optionally as an encrypted zip archive.

I love markdown. It’s been my primary way of taking notes for many years. A key benefit of the format to me is that text files will never be deprecated and are infinitely portable. I saw mentioned a local cache. Would you add a pitch or squ

I want to start using this, but I'm concerned what happens when a service changes their domain. When the domain changes, even subtly like from api.foo.com to www.foo.com, it will break my ability to access the site. If I do not remembe

Quiver looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. I love that you can export as plain text or markdown. The idea that this would count as "no vendor lock in" to me hinges on exactly how the text export works -- when exported,
