Are colleges even going to accept high scores on these exams for credit / advanced placement? It's a shame the college board decided to go through all this instead of refunding the fees they collected from students, especially whe

This is a really cool idea— amazing to think about something like goodreads taken to the next level where people are sharing their emotion markups for texts. Imagine how you could try different mappings to see which ones you liked...

To me, the "feet kit" is the bigger eyebrow raiser. Even though the total cost is less, the wheels actually... you know, they turn. They're wheels. They perform a function that's somewhat greater than a brick sitting on

I've been thinking about this on and off and at the moment I'm feeling like automatically collecting log information is a good approach, at least for me, so that I can set and forget until I'm ready to explore. I really like

Settles on a proposition that the iPad will consume and replace the Mac. I don't agree with that position; I think the form factor of the Mac and the capabilities of MacOS are going to continue to be relevant, even in a world where a

Would you mind clarifying your objection for me? Don't authors of posts assume the risk that third parties will copy and reuse the content when they publish it?

I’d like to look into the features of notion more, but I can’t help but wonder why it isn’t more common to see people using a local SQLite database, or any other self hosted database, to serve as a personal knowledge base management system.

This is a great idea, and nicely solves some of the risk of finding one particular perfect tool that won’t be around in five years. I’m going to look at the export options and see if I can make the kinds of notes that I have in mind associa

Yeah you’re spot on that starting with something and moving out from there is the best way to not shit myself down. > In Google Sheets, use command-shift-colon to do a timestamp Okay not for nothing but I use sheets constantly for work

I used to keep a moleskine in my pocket absolutely everywhere. I have a great stack of them. Being able to sync and search a digital alternative is really attractive, but I do think it’s telling that I’m here asking the community for help e

I’ve been using notes a lot lately, the document capture is brilliant. I should learn more about it, but I’ve had some trouble figuring out how I would want to export and manipulate the information in notes if I wanted to—it’s seemed like t

I’ve never seen this before! It’s great to see that there’s a strong community around it, I’ll learn more about how it’s built. I think wikis are incredible and it would be great to be able to have something like that set up, I saw that the

That’s a great point, I do need to figure out what my end goal is before I sink a lot of time into having a capture system. I come from a line of librarians and I often find myself falling into information capture and management related puz

To be honest I think you’re correct here about focusing on the highlights. I’ve read about things like quantifiedself and I’m honestly really interested in those types of things, but more from a distance—I think too much persistent active l

This is really interesting! I’m really glad you mentioned the telegram connection, looking forward to digging further into it

For years my go to option was nvAlt[^0] with a hotkey and some expansions set up with typinator to do all the repetitive stuff. Unfortunately that broke down for me when upgrades to macOS started to make it less reliable and I was transitio

I couldn’t agree more. I think, for me, making any system stick has to include a visible form of progress—if it’s like a blank page every time then it’s so disposable. I hope to have a way to make sure that whether I’m logging using a phone

I didn't think of using telegram, and that has easy arbitrary file attachments to go with it. I wonder how easy it is to grab the transcripts and transform them, I'll have to check it out!

I started using DayOne about two years ago and I've really enjoyed it! I like that it does a lot of the work for us. I do want to dig into the privacy policy a lot more, because the "activity feed" feature seems like it would

A few years ago I came to the conclusion that whenever I was struggling with an information task, the correct answer was org-mode. It's remarkable how I forget it over and over again. I'm using an iphone, do you have any suggestio

Thanks for the suggestion! I think one of the big strengths of Jrnl.sh is the simplicity, the end result is useable and straightforward. I wish it could be easier to use a phone to append lines to something like this, I thought about trying

These are great suggestions, thank you! I think you're probably right that a spreadsheet is a good place to start, perhaps with IFTTT / Zapier / Shortcuts / etc to try to start plugging in some of the automation. I put a

I’d appreciate it! Catalog management isn’t a feature of any k12 targeted software that I’ve been able to find on my own. Some good looking solutions for higherEd (eg courseleaf) aren’t available at the high school level, probably because t
