By playing around with the app, I can totally see that this supersedes Google Sheets and Apps Script by a long way. Yes, the UI layer and the API accesses. In the backend, I feel a lot of interesting things are going around - their relation

More often we think there's a grand unified "catch-all" task one can do to have a clear mind, but in reality it's the reverse. Try to form small habits throughout the day. Check out Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Try

This is an interesting idea. I've used tools that have autocompletion and also on vim with a plugin that I use to type notes. But the annoying thing is this is something that I'll potentially have to set-up.

This is very very important IMO. It doesn't matter if you're a junior developer or a senior developer, it always pays to be around people who know more than you and at the same time have the right attitude when it comes to dispers
