Have they added any way to have multiple root nodes? After using Workflowy for a decade on and off my tree is cluttered with notes and I want to start afresh but not lose them all. Keeping 1500+ nodes hanging around also slows the app down.

That is the closest I've come up with; write BDD style tests in YAML that can be interpreted in multiple languages. It just feels like this should be a solved problem beyond BDD...

Same. I've tried DBeaver (its UI is an abomination) and TablePlus (some of the UI is better but e.g hiding the database search where they do - why?) and TablePlus is the one I'm sticking with, but I still miss SQLYog. Especially t

What's a good guide to learn how to make (and see) vectorized code? It's a mindshift and not one I find easy.

Think of it another way: you know that people won't up and leave (easily) leaving you only with a month (or less) to hire a replacement for their role. There will be time for the hiring process and for handover. As an employer it has b

I've used these for over a year. Where the experience falls short is when using OAuth flows where either the requestor or provider is in a different container. E.g. Slack (work) => Twitter (social media) => ~~broken~~ as the redi

A Festool dust extractor and Mirka sander. Coupled with Abranet, I can now sand indoors virtually dust free. It makes doing DIY so much more pleasant. Expensive but I wish I'd bought them both earlier.

What kind of forms were you creating? How to handle forms ergonomically has been a central interest of mine since 2003 and I like hearing about what people try and how it works for them.

I can't wait for browsers to support https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/margin-trim . It's been 4 years since it was introduced into the spec and there's been little movement.
