+1 to Linear being fantastic. At this point, my biggest gripe with it (in comparison to Pivotal Tracker) is that I cannot put a limit on how many issues can exist in a certain state. Tracker used to do this very well with velocity.

I'd be very happy if I could set a max limit of 5 on the "todo" state of a certain team. Helps a lot with prioritization and poorly done planning.

I love NextDNS (https://nextdns.io) and I've been paying for it for many years.

My only complaint is that on macOS, I cannot automatically turn the service off on certain wifi networks. This feature exists on the iOS app but is strangely missing on the macOS app.

+1 I love the parental controls I can limit social media to only a few hours a day ( only on my phone profile) And it has good Tailscale integration!

+1 for NextDNS.

Been a happy user for a few years now and introduced many non-tech friends/family into the world of 99% advert-free internet.

You can read a lot if you read things you enjoy, instead of things you feel you ought to read as a goal/achievement.

I used to read a lot in high school and then lost the habit as I went through undergrad. The way I got back into it was by ignoring best sellers and hype titles and the feelings of "I should read this because all my hacker friends keep referring to it".

I started reading a lot more fiction, especially stories from my country and culture. I stopped forcing myself to finish books that bored me. And because this is expensive to do, I bought physical books from a used books store instead of 1-click-buys on my Kindle.

Eventually, this built enough reading muscle for me that I moved to reading more ambitious things and I was able to persevere longer and battle through some really boring stuff (on topics that I cared about).

This is the solution. If a book is boring you, skip a few pages, skip a chapter, put it away and get another book, or delete it / throw it away.

The two most popular options are Docusaurus and Material MkDocs:

- https://docusaurus.io

- https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/

They're both used by hundreds of open source projects, are pretty easy to set up, and use markdown for content so you shouldn't have any trouble.

The trilogy of design-related documentaries by Gary Hustwit! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Trilogy

1. Objectified (on the design of objects)

2. Helvetica (on the design of typefaces)

3. Urbanized (on the design of cities and urban spaces)

It doesn't completely fit your needs (does anything?), but I really like Outline (https://www.getoutline.com/) especially because stuff like Notion and Confluence feels so slow and bloated.

This is a fine example of "chit bhi meri, pat bhi meri" which in Hindi translates to "heads I win, tails I win".

That saying exists in English, with a (in my opinion) more pleasing phrasing: heads, I win; tails, you lose.

Not sure why you're being downvoted – this is a perfectly interesting fact.

Presumably the words "chit" and "pat" don't literally mean "heads" and "tails", though, even if they correspond to those sides? If not, what do they mean?

"chit" is derived from "chitra" which means "picture". It translates to face side. "pat" has the same origins as "sapaat" which means "flat"/"plane". So it IS the heads/tails analogue for Hindi and Urdu.

It is a mess and it is a pain, so most people just keep resubmitting their apps for review. The idea is to get your app in front of multiple reviewers and hope that at least one of them reads the instructions and does the right thing.

I don't know if an LLM could make such a judgement "a lot better" in comparison to an intern, but maybe it can be used in a more useful manner? For e.g. maybe it is valuable for an LLM to tell the agency "67% probability of being similar to the mid-performing books of the last 2 years".
