I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Try turning a patch of the garden into the same symbol!

Here's my implementation from 2014 that let's you spawn more ants on the grid. http://code-art.chintanghate.me/LangtonsAnt.html

Thanks for making your app. I’ve used it more than once and it works well. Many export solutions don’t handle attachments but yours does. So kudos for that.

A few years ago I tried to write my own exporter using AppleScript but got stuck by a showstopping bug in Notes AppleScript implementation. Or so it seemed. I hope that bug is fixed now. I just moved on to use your app instead.

I am glad it's being useful. :)

I used AppleScript for the first two years of this app as well (Can't believe it's been 7 years since I started it). But it's hard to handle complex programs, and handing off data to Swift or Objective-C from AppleScript. So I switched to [ScriptingBridge](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scriptingbridge). It provides better Objective-C APIs to handle Apple Events.

I have published an app [Exporter](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12) that does something similar - exports Apple Notes to HTML and markdown with the attachments. Give it a try, let me know if it solves your issue.

Also, why did you select JSON as the output format?

That is great advice. Use your skills to improve the lives of those around you in a meaningful way. I'm working on building a scheduling app for water delivery at the canal company I am a rights holder in. Everyone, including me, will end up using it. Right now they use email and paper cards. They can't afford to pay someone what it would cost to develop it. I saw a need and stepped up. Very rewarding.

That’s an amazing initiative. Best of luck! :)

If you're burnt out, I suggest a proper vacation. You can then do anything from your list of interests.
ChintanGhate · 3 years ago
+1 to a vacation. And after that rather than going after what's in demand/hype right now, go after something that you want to use and isn't available in the market, and try to build that. I have found building tools for myself that I and a bunch of other people love to use as one of the most rewarding/fulfilling work.
ChintanGhate commented on Ask HN: Share your favorite YouTube channels focused on mastering a skill/craft    · Posted by u/hubraumhugo
ChintanGhate · 3 years ago
Not a technical skill, but in the self improvement genre - Colin Murray’s channel https://m.youtube.com/@colinmurrayYT/videos is great for people who like exercising from home, without investing a lot in equipments and weight. Has helped me exercise more regularly compared to past years.

And then for one of my hobbies https://m.youtube.com/@idaemonplasmo for building better model kit aircrafts.

Not sure if they are masters of their craft, but they make their craft more accessible/enjoyable for me.

People keep telling me that I should be doing food professionally, so I'd probably make delicious food and sell it at a reasonable price.

Same! would open a small patisserie.
