Second that. Common use case is saving stuff from iPad or Android phone and doing the reading later on desktop..

I'm using it through Yunohost [1] on the lowest end DigitalOcean box. Works beautifully. I'm pondering bringing it in house on a RPi, just for shits and giggles and so I can truly own all my stuff... [1] https://yunohos

I mean, maybe not immensely annoying in the general scheme of things... :-)

Partly what attracted me was the open-sourceness of it, usually a requirement for all things here on HN. I’ve only dabbled in Figma but it seemed significantly different to me in ui?

I've said it so many times my throat is sore but here goes again... As with literally everything, it depends. Markdown is lovely for tech documentation, notes and journaling. It's simple and beautiful and mostly independent of lay

Looks nice, but the privacy page linked from the Android app is in (Mandarin?) so I'm not sure what I'm agreeing to, privacy wise...

I love this. But what I'm most interested in is the low expectations that I clearly have about the things I buy. I mean - I see flip flop and the comment says "..after 5 years" and I'm thinking "WHAT, five years? I&

Yeh, that's an interesting idea. I'd probably nit pick about meditation (ultimately) being about shrinking. I mean, mindfulness maybe, but insight is ultimately about no self at all, and a huge and deeply meaningful connection to

You're right about the present moment stuff - but I'm not convinced smart people necessarily think more about past or future. If you're down on your luck, not very bright, working a shitty job for not much pay, you're pr

Really strange article. It felt like someone writing "I've got cheese, so I like the colour red". The cause effect isn't clear to me, at all, and the article isn't nearly well written enough to expand on anything me

Hilarious. $65 for a pack of index cards and a block of wood. Good on em if they can make this work. It's genius. For all the wrong reasons. I started worrying about "my method" when I was 14 and back then my revision time la

Really great, have signed up and embedded on my site. Beautifully simple, very flexible, considering an upgrade to pro already. This is how to do a business!

Yes :-) There was me making assumptions about my audience after posting about knowing your audience... IIIF is a cool approach that is growing in popularity in cultural heritage, the field I work in. The IIIF main site [1] is a bit baffling

Aw man, so glad to have had that explained. Took this photo [1] in my back garden about 10 years ago and was never quite sure... [1] https://capture.dropbox.com/Fw1tQrHnfH3pDTRt?src=ss

HN seems often incapable of thinking about how audiences and use cases differ. I'm personally a huge fan of using MD for my stuff. I'm a recent convert, but am finding it works brilliantly for my use case which is idea capture, pr

I know it's wildly off-topic but can someone please explain to me why there are still sites like this that are clearly well funded and professional that fail to have spent - what - 2-3 designer hours time ($150?!) on a simple mobile st

For sure. I'm training to be a MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) teacher and one of the things that is being stressed to us is the importance of providing loads of guidance / filtering when getting people to get involved -

Yes, I like that from Ken Wilbur, thanks! Also, you put this much more succinctly than I did :-)

It's a common misunderstanding that meditation leads to tranquility, that you somehow become a calm person. In the moment it does, but the bigger picture is that it gives you tools to deal with life with more equanimity and balance. Th

Beautifully put. The meditation / Buddhist phrase often used is that of "two darts". The first dart is the "real" affliction. So an easy example is - you wake up with a migraine. The first dart is real. It's an

That's a large part of the point. Meditation gives you the tools to increase the quantity and quality of your attention. And let's face it, attention is probably the commodity we could all do with focusing on in these hyper-distra

The landing page looks promising but downloaded the Android app and it's terrifyingly bad. In fact mobile support in general just seems terrible, so I guess I'm out.
