Updated the project description roughly to this. You're part of the Cosmos story now – Cheers! :)

Wow, author of Cosmos here. For the record I didn't post this. So thanks to OP and everyone who upvoted. It's cool that Cosmos still generates new interest after so many years. Yes, Cosmos is very similar to Storybook. It's a

It _is_ the same project though, hugely improved.

It's about React Cosmos specifically. https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/600354123372965888

Totally agree, like I said I also avoid defaults exports (for the same reasons). But I'm fine with default exports in fixtures because you never import them by hand, they are picked up automatically by React Cosmos. And you can customi

I generally avoid defaults exports as well but didn't realize some codebases disable them completely. What do you mean by "non-default-exporting" TSX files, can you provide a link? > Perhaps adding shim files that import t

Update: I made some perf optimizations unrelated to animations. Essentially preventing needless component updates. Feels smoother on my end. Let me know if you see any improvement: https://jobs-done.now.sh

The first version did! But I removed it because I didn't want Blizzard to take me down for copyright infringement, haha. And to be honest it was getting annnoying while I was working on the app cause I heard it dozens of times a day. B

I fixed some Firefox & Safari issues in the meantime, and added more browser polyfills. If you have the chance let me know if you see any improvement on your side after clearing the cache. Thanks!

No shame in admitting this. I still struggle with it. Computers are very effective at messing up our sleep function. Happy to hear you're giving Jobs Done a try. Note that you can customize the steps, set phrase and suggested activitie

Those custom notebooks sound cool! Deep Work reads like a lightweight book but impact of its practices are huge. Glad to see other people who found it useful.

Oh I love Workflowy. I manage my life using it!

Thanks! I think the scope of this app is too limited to monetise. Happy to see it grow as an open source project for now. But hopefully this sort of exposure (and building experience) will increase my chanses of finding customers when I foc

Congrats! When I travel my life looks more interesting, but when I settle in one place for a while to focus on work (current situation) I often fail to schedule my personal life. Definitely an area I can improve.

Is it not possible to bookmark web pages on the home screen on iOS? PWAs play nicely like this on Android, which is what I'm using atm. I'm actually planning to switch back to iOS soon but not being able to have web app shortcuts

I agree the book teaches many useful concepts! > OP: cool looking app, it’s really nicely done. Was this a “teach myself a language” sort of project? If not, what was the motivation? [Edit: just seen your comment below.] Thanks! A combin

Do the official react-native-web examples work OK on Win10/Chrome70? http://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/examples/

You should definitely give react-native-web a look. I've had a good experience with it and the only issue is animation. I don't know how any UI animation lib can match the performance of hardware accelerated CSS transitions btw. A

by skidding 8y ago
Yes!

by skidding 8y ago
Yes. This is what I meant with "for the most part". So I first made the app web-only, which is what I know best. Used CSS animations and they were smooth! Then converted the project to React Native (because I wanted to learn how t

Pretty much. The activities part is very experimental. I basically realised that I suck at planning my evenings and it's hard to disconnect unless a pasttime activity draws you in and shifts your focus. That said, definitely looking fo

I guess it's sad but true :) Probably only applies to single people, though. I have to say I've gotten much better at avoiding overworking myself lately, but evenings are still an issue (again, probably only relevant for single pe

Hey, Ovidiu the author here. So how could this be interesting to you? The app I read a book called Deep Work to improve the quality of my work and found the simple "shutdown ritual" idea powerful. I started with a dead simple list
