My attention span for text editor configuration decreased drastically after I finished school. For better or worse, being a professional means making the correct trade off when time, money, and productivity are at stake.

In the modern era, there are sufficiently many practical editors and IDE's with major economic investment behind making them highly functional out of the box. I simply cannot justify spending copious amounts of time configuring a text editor when there's sufficiently good and productive options out there.

Looks like the last edit I published to my Vim config was 5 years ago https://github.com/fvgs/.vim

But hey, maybe I'll find some "lazy" time to give LazyVim a go and give VSCode a break.

If anyone's considering moving their email addresses over this, please take the time to get your own custom domain to host email on. That way you can switch providers more easily and actually own your email address.

As a shameless plug: Purelymail, the mail service I'm working on, could use some more beta testers. It's (to my knowledge) the cheapest way to get email on a custom domain right now. https://purelymail.com/

I only took a brief look, but I like the premise. The service seems far from something I would trust with handling my email. I still trust Fastmail (for reference). But I strongly welcome more alternatives to Gmail and services which prioritize user privacy. The attempt at monetization strikes me as extremely premature, given the competition. But I hope to see more.

Protonmail is great in terms of feature/security balance. Personally, I like using mail.disroot.org

Protonmail has also given in and paid out thousands* to criminals who DDoS their systems, no?

*In my original post I mistakenly wrote "millions"

Good timing?

This is my side project at the moment:

https://getpolarized.io/

.. but it's sort of become full time.

For me it started off as a need to manage my reading as I was working on another project around cryptocurrencies and reading tons of PDFs and web content.

Got majorly side tracked but launched it and so far there are a few thousand active users.

Thanks for sharing, this looks neat and useful! The pagemarks are an interesting concept. It would be cool if the top progress bar above the document showed, not cumulative progress, but the progress as it maps to the areas marked on the document, which aren't necessarily contiguous. Kinda like the progress bar you have for a torrent as non-contiguous chunks are downloaded. This provides spatial information about what parts of the document have been read.
