Please consider using Ballistol instead. It’s much more environmentally friendly, you can even use it for pet grooming.


Why is it more environmentally friendly? Both are mostly long-chain hydrocarbons, WD40 uses CO2 as a propellant and Ballistol uses propane/butane.


Alas, I was unable to find an aerosol can of Ballistol with the straw for focused spraying.


What are Ballistol's properties? I've not heard of it before.


Ballistol is an oil of pharmaceutical quality, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistol


Only one ingredient is of pharmaceutical quality.


Interestingly, Ballistol was originally also used as a disinfectant in the Germany army.


I am pretty sure that it once was advertised as being usable as salad seasoning, but apparently that use case has dropped of the list at some point?


That was an April fools' day joke by the company that manufactures it [0]

You're probably using Quabel as a dummy user. Please sign up for a regular account first and then try again. We'll work on that error message ;-).


Thanks for your comment.

How to limit the free user was a though decision for us. You can increase your document space without buying premium: for every user you invite both you and your referral get 5 additional docs.

Hi, I'm Aaron and the designer of Quabel. If you have any feedback regarding design I will very appreciate it. Cheers!


Infact, you could use svgs to achieve the same effect.


Great work. You may want to consider switching the "Add Task"-div with the "Daily/Monthly/Future"-div. So that the "Add-Task"-div is aligned in the lower left hand corner. That would be way more intuitive for me. Another great feature would be rearranging the existing tasks.


I guess with HN it's a good idea to stick with the old design. A new (fancy) design would only attract more mainstream users which is not in the interest of HN in the first place.


You should consider buying an mb air instead of an mb pro. The ssd makes it unbelievable fast and paired with an extra display it's a power house for development. the mb air is just a solid piece of hardware. I have no regrets buying one so far.


Skeumorphism design may help me to adapt to the piece of software the first couple of seconds. However, after that it distracts me the rest of the time I am using the software.
