Clearly, it just leaked the election results from the wrong branch of the wavefunction.


A real Trump fan-boy wouldn't trust what the mainstream media says. It's not because the media says that Trump won the election that it is true.


I'm working on a desktop-based, performance- and privacy-first note-taking app that lets you quickly capture notes from any selected text using hotkeys.

I'm curious: what are your must-haves in a note-taking application?


I thought about doing something similar some time ago, because I never quite found the perfect note taking app for myself. There's a million ways how to do notes, and it feels like there's just as many different notes apps.

Eventually, I've settled with Obsidian because of its simplicity and extensibility. You can leave it with basic features and truly own your notes in a simple format (you can also put them into any cloud, as long as that cloud reaches your filesystem). It doesn't do everything just like I'd want to, but I've thought about just building another notes app that reads and writes to the same path your Obsidian notes are in, instead of trying to cover every possible editing feature like most big notes apps. Then I'd use different apps for different needs, with one place to store data.

Since you're focusing on privacy, have you considered using Obsidian? Is there anything particular you want to do differently?


Basically I want to build it with focus on speed and work efficiency from start. To not bias myself too much, I will refrain from doing too much market research. First of all I'm building this for myself, and I'm guessing it might translate into at least a tiny market share.

Unlimited undos. Even if I deleted text a year ago, app must bring it back. Ideally something like git, with branches and auto-commits.


Great, thanks. This is already in my minimum requirements.

That battle has been lost. I've header about pomodoros for years and not once about a shitty copyright holder. It's generic now, thank you.


Interesting. Time to create that Pomodoro app I've always wanted to do.


Interestingly, this "official" Pomodoro site doesn't offer a physical timing device on their shop page.

It looks like the inventor of the technique is now based out of Dubai (allergic to taxes? The governments that you lean on to enforce your reigstered trademarks need to be funded somehow).



Cyclomatic complexity would be a better measurement.

This could possibly be attributed to survival bias. I.e. the individuals are more prone to post their results only after a successful attempt.

The article assumes that the dishwasher needs to be emptied of clean dishes before dirty ones can be put in. This is not the case. The clean dishes will take on the dirty state as soon as dirty dishes are inserted into a machine with clean dishes.
