Show HN: The Least Dangerous To-Do List
- mobattah 6y agoGood job! Kinda funny!
- LoveMortuus 6y agoThat's cool and all but what about web app or Android?
- maebert 6y agoIn the making! I'll just let the iOS users find all the bugs first ;)
- LoveMortuus 6y agoOhh... I get it, because Apple, and bugs like apples, where as with Android they wouldn't really have anything to eat, just electronics, metal and wires... Very smart, very smart indeed!
- maebert 6y agoYou solved the case again, Mulder.
- ARandomerDude 6y ago> Don't think about Trump 15 years ago, I watched/read the news a lot. I stopped about 10 years ago. It was one of the best things I ever did. No matter who is in office, the news coming out of Washington D.C. will always be depressing. Someone or some group you despise will always be there bashing people you like. The people you like will never get the attention you think they deserve, their good ideas will be squandered, etc. Just turn it off. </unsolicited-advice> :-)
- StavrosK 6y agoI concur. Plus you hear about anything that affects you eventually anyway.
- THEDONKEYOFDOOM 6y agoFunny, I found much more joy in life when I started reading the news more. Not a compulsive amount, but staying up to date. 1hr tops a day Others bashing people you like is always inevitable But, I like to read it from the perspective of not where CURRENT public positions lie, but where they are going. Not a point on the graph, but the vector of how it is changing I found it has made me empathize much more with those who I normally would not. Understanding current events discussing their position, but going deeper to find that "root cause" of why they hold that Regardless of where you lie politically, everyone wants the same things in life. It transcends politics and different world cultures. We disagree HOW we get there, but normally we all agree on what are baseline values. We want to live in a world that is fair, we want the highest quality of life for all capable to everyone's abilities (ignoring initial allocation of resources to get there), safety, a sense of community and security. I may be missing some points, but I bonded getting to that root cause with many
- dmd 6y agoThat may be true in much of the world, but here in the USA we just had an election where 70 million people voted for the guy who for the last four years has been quite outspoken and clear about NOT wanting quality of life “for all”.
- THEDONKEYOFDOOM 6y agoHence why I put "ignoring the initial allocation of resources" in brackets to that point It seems people on that side want "america first". Throw all political shenanigans used to try to implement that and party leaders outside of the window; that idea is not absurd I'm sure if we found a macguffin that instantly catapulted us into a true post-scaricty economy, lots of that rhetoric would subside. Over a few generations
- awillen 6y agoI don't know... I'm afraid if I install this I'm going to get "Don't check the news today" and fail a dozen times over, and then I'm the guy who couldn't even manage to complete the least dangerous to-do list.
- yamrzou 6y agoI like the concept, I'd like to try this, but I don't have an iPhone. Do you plan on creating a web/Android version?
- lcall 6y agoThis reminds me of a video I found very funny ("You Deserve a Better You": basically: be successful by moving goalposts closer, and we can help): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ9CegGtYLw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ9CegGtYLw And similar ones I much enjoyed in the past, from while I was hunting up that old URL (all "studio c" comedy): Naturally (a contest of who is more "natural"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lraDNDuFNj8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lraDNDuFNj8 The most organic vlog: mindfulness tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gxl06S1WZg&list=PLGVpxD1HlmJ-5_p58DTZPXPWbShja7amd&index=50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gxl06S1WZg&list=PLGVpxD1Hlm...

- faeyanpiraat 6y agothanks it was hillarious
- Yhippa 6y agoThis is funny to me. I needed that laugh. I wonder if there's something to it? Being able to complete tasks does feel good especially 6 out of 6.
- maebert 6y agoAs with my previous undeniable smash hit The Most Dangerous Writing App, I think that while the app is preposterously antithetical, there's a real value in it. In short, I believe we care about too. much. stuff. all. the. time. Ironically, giving less fucks makes us happier if we know how to distribute them well. This app is trying to do exactly that.
- bovermyer 6y agoI like this a lot more than I probably should. It's quirky, fun, and possibly useful.
- jedberg 6y agoThe page won't load for me, and I'm not sure if that's the joke.
- sixothree 6y agoClose all browser tabs? Are you some kind of madman? That would take me a week. Edit: 1. I should add that closing all browser tabs would present a serious problem for me. Since I keep (many many) specification documents open for extended periods of time while I am working. 2. Searching "least" in the app store results with suggested search for this item.
- natannikolic 6y agoSir, it sounds to me like you could use a tab manager extension. May I recommend https://tabler.one https://tabler.one
- samename 6y agoIt’s only for Chrome, is there a Firefox alternative?
- bostonvaulter2 6y agoOneTab is pretty decent and I think it's in a similar vein: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/onetab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/onetab/
- sixothree 6y agoMany thanks!
- npsimons 6y ago> You are about to close 28 windows with 305 tabs. Are you sure you want to continue? And this is a low number for me . . . I think I might have a problem.
- sixothree 6y agoYou just might. But who am I to judge. I leave all three browsers pinned to my task bar. I typically have about 3-5 windows for each. And there's always that one window that has 80 tabs open. I do use "The Great Suspender" though to save some memory.
- kamil3141 6y agoI like the idea but why can I only draw horizontally?
- maebert 6y agoBecause I don't want your to-do list to look like the Starbucks signature pad that makes everyone's signature look like they're a 3 year old kinetically challenged imbecile. You're welcome!
- codethief 6y ago> Unlike literally all other to-do lists, you can't even add your own tasks. Not for cheap, anyway. Does that mean the tasks are chosen at random from, say, a database of common everyday tasks?
- maebert 6y agoExactly, assuming "feel OK about not flossing" and "Check off a task you don't feel like doing today" are common day tasks.
- kaszanka 6y agoMerely having this website in the foreground uses up almost 10% of my CPU. Also, it has a horizontal scrollbar (at least in Firefox). The idea is funny, though.
- maebert 6y agoWhat if... it could use 100% of your computers brain power?
- allenu 6y agoI love the design of everything (web page, app screenshots, copy). I'm going to take notes for my own app. :)
- perilunar 6y agoI read the Terms of Service thinking it would be equally amusing. It wasn’t.
