I spoke to Cal for this article though I don't think he used much of our interview. I developed GTD software back in the first as Kinkless when became OmniFocus after I joined Omni for a year.

Today I don't use any "super specialized" tooling for task management. Intentionally. I don't like being wedded to any given app. My tools are Apple Reminders (universal for my family since we're all on Apple devices) and Obsidian (or really just plain text / markdown, accessed currently through obsidian).

Lots of thoughts about all this but in short there were some good ideas I took from GTD (universal capture being the biggest, but that's not really a GTD unique idea) but most of it I've jettisoned.

(my obsidian / markdown usage is basically "take notes, sometimes notes become projects, those projects automatically show up in a dashboard" and mixing notes, content, and tasks organically)

I'd love to see a blog post about your apple reminders/obsidian setup (or whatever details you'd be willing to provide). I'm currently trying to get an apple reminders + obsidian setup up and running myself!

Can you add support for Obsidian markdown?
sakekasi · 2 years ago
this. I would love to have a cli-based barebones obsidian vault browser

They're clearly just trying to insert a bit of humour into their text...
sakekasi · 4 years ago
yeah, that's true. It just feels a bit in bad taste. But everyone has a right to their own POV on it!

This. Given that a lot of your customers are gonna be engineers, probably better not to make jokes about cracking the whip :)

Looks like an interesting product overall though!

Looks neat!

So, we made a huge list, cracked the whip, and ensured our engineers checked every box.

Eww.

I remember seeing their first public demo at LA Hacks in 2014. Seemed like a couple of kids right out of college. They had the iPhone's screen hooked up to the projector and one of their friends kept sending them silly text messages the whole time that they had to dismiss. This was before the Do Not Disturb feature came out.

I remember wondering how it took so long for someone to make a half decent stock trading app for the iPhone -- all the other apps at the time sucked (and they largely still do). I was on ETrade before but signed up for the Robinhood waitlist immediately -- haven't left since being allowed in early 2015.

I was at that LA Hacks as well! The first one right? That was the highlight of the hackathon! I remember everyone really tripping over themselves to try to sign up
sakekasi commented on WebContainers: Run Node.js natively in the browser   blog.stackblitz.com/posts... · Posted by u/bpierre

This is super cool! I think pairing this with the upcoming native support for modules and a CDN like skypack could lead to a truly powerful browser development experience.

No bundlers and a full IDE? Maybe this could even mean that there's a chance for a some of the 'just fiddle with the page' experience to come back to the web! (/rainbows and unicorns)
