An extension built to extract email addresses and is built for "lead generation", aka "adding people to unwarranted email lists" "does not collect any personal data". Oh, the irony.

I really want to see pricing, early on and massively obvious in the UI. I need to know if this is Oss or free, or if I'm gunna get hooked on something I can't afford...

We lived in the middle of nowhere for 2 years. Your 25Mbps is a dream compared to the 1Mbs we got on a good day. I really only managed it (I run a little web agency) by having an office in a nearby town with great broadband, but there was a

My clients know my mobile number, so I know that if something urgent comes up they'll call me. No need for email...!

Home worker for a decade here. Biggest and best piece of advice: take work email off your phone. Better: put your smart phone upstairs on silent after end of working day and leave it there. Best: don't have a smartphone.

Asking a rhetorical and irritating question - but one which web nerds need to be much better at answering: why, exactly does it matter? Don't get me wrong, I'm totally uncomfortable with a monopoly of this scale; I'm a Firefo

Web guy here (more PM than developer). The two things I've done to keep the (unavoidable) feast/famine cycle at bay are: 1) keep two work bank accounts, one for daily use, one savings, and syphon off more than needed from daily &g

No, I don’t think so. Watching the breath is one method - particularly for beginner meditators - but far from being the only one. The breath is a handy “always on” tool for helping to remind a meditator about the rhythms of the body, but as

No one seems to have mentioned Wim Hoff here ( https://www.wimhofmethod.com/ ). He’s got some claims that verge on the suspicious but the actual method itself is worth doing purely if you’re an interested sort. Before, I can

What everyone else said, but also avoid super cheap hosting. Been burnt that way.

That looks pretty interesting - thanks, will give it a go!

I have, and something about it didn’t gel, but I’m gunna have to go install it again to remind myself - or maybe discover it’s the holy grail :-)

Yeh, it does that, but when you’re in context writing a note, you don’t really want to jump out, trawl through all your other notes, find the link, go back to original note and apply... Really, you want a context menu, or the double square

My main issue has been the editor(s). The model of having multiple choices of editor should be great but I’ve found it flaky when switching, particularly switching to mobile. Sometimes my whole note seems to disappear, but is ok if I flip b

Funnily enough, I don’t think there is a really good one. There’s lots that almost do it but not quite. - Evernote: no note linking - Bear: lovely but no web or android version - OneNote: appalling in the way only MS can be - SimpleNotes:

Maybe a stupid question, but is this sort of data still shared (with Facebook) if you’re not a Facebook user...?

Superb piece. The ideas are pretty great but what really stands out is that the guy can write, beautifully. So often people have great ideas but little ability to express them, so it's nice when both happen at once..

This resonated, especially the bit about being particularly militant with smartphone use. I'm now 2 years into using a dumb phone (I have a smartphone on WiFi at home but my sim is in a dumb phone). The control you have on desktop is c

This is ace! I do often wonder if many recipe sites ever really think about the user experience. It's almost always going to be on mobile and there's either got to be a simplicity to the presentation (which is what this does brill

Fantastic recommendation, thanks :-) Have been using a combination of Pocket for "read later" and pinboard.in for bookmarks - but looks like Raindrop will do both in one place...

He might be a good entrepreneur but ffs, why the rabid, unthinking enthusiasm in following everything this guy says? Why not make a website for someone else who happens to be a good parent? This cultish b/s is exactly what leads to the

Yeh, fk "Stories", whatever they are. Actually, also, fk Facebook too. It's not admirable or useful, no. But, I find it's kind of relaxing to have a near total lack of FOMO. I've become the guy I never thought I&#x2

But that does nothing to explain or justify further use of mobile phones with kids. I mean, you're presumably not suggesting that people go to work and leave their kids at home with an iPad, right? Also just a defensive style sidenote
