   So far I've just been building what I really wanted to exist for my own planning purposes combined with the best ideas from early adopters, and then I've posted in a few places and gotten a little traction here and there. I can se

   Ayyy thanks! There's an option in the setup wizard now and also on the blog section.

   Not enough for me to work on this full-time, but enough that it continues to be an energizing side project. I'm sure there could be more if I would pull my head out of the sand and spend more than ~0% of the time doing marketing haha.

   Recently I added a tabular view with JSON/Excel export option (v2.7.0); let me know if that helps!

   I sent out a few rebranding messages and a bunch of updates on new features over the past few months, but it sounds like maybe you subscribed before I even had an email list haha. Thanks for being an early adopter! It's folks like you

   If there's anything you feel your spreadsheet still does better, just let me know! Always working on new features and improvements. In the past I've had some bad experiences with services that require linked accounts as well; seem

   Thanks! It was tricky to build in so much flexibility and customization while still keeping the overall UI feeling relatively clean.. I try to strike a good balance there, but if you feel there are areas where I haven't succeeded, defi

   Thanks! I built it with Vue.js, Vuetify, Chart.js, and Firebase. Firebase only comes into play for those who get premium and enable data synchronization though.

   Well, I must admit there is a graveyard of 60 or so other projects over the years before making anything worth posting here. The dream would be to find a way to work on ProjectionLab full-time, but so far I'm preferring the side-projec

    Thanks! I've put a ton of work in since then, and it's been a fun side project that kept me focused and energized and thinking positive thoughts during the pandemic. Also, the fact you remember it as "ProjectFi" is one o

    I couldn't find a good financial planning tool that felt modern, nuanced, and actually fun to use... and I ended up spending all my free time this past year building one: ProjectionLab https://projectionlab.com It doesn&#x2

    I haven't read much about how these systems work yet, so this is probably a novice question, but I'd be interested to hear more about how the algorithm handles text input and feeds it into the generator. Does the training process

    I just finished OMSCS last year. Did one course at a time, no breaks, found the workload for most courses to be quite manageable; i.e. if you're already a good dev and have decent writing skills, you'll probably only have to touch

    Is it also possible that positivity is physically harder to achieve / less likely to manifest for patients whose systems are compromised in such a way that they can't overcome the infection? We are brain-body systems after all, so

    For a while now, this site has felt to me like one of the last bastions of high-quality discussion on the internet. Many days, it's the first thing I open in the morning and/or the last at night, and I sure am thankful that amid t

    How do crawler approaches like this handle SPAs that have a multi-step onboarding flow before getting into the actual heavy-hitting areas that need the most testing? (e.g. where you may have to click through several things before even hitti

    Marketing is scary for solo devs, and reading posts about how we should be doing more of it is also scary. For those of you who've successfully followed advice like this (versus myself, where I usually slink right from the comment sect

    I feel like even that requires a pretty broad definition of consciousness that starts to diverge from what the term usually connotes. This strikes me as similar to the classic question of whether an ant hill could be considered conscious. I

    For me, panpsychism has never landed at all, though it is a fun idea to think about. I tend to see animals/humans as exceedingly complex (and most likely deterministic) systems, of which what we call "consciousness" is an eme

    Nothing concrete I can point to of course, I'm just wary of being actively grateful for it... it seems to me that some of the subtle and/or knock-on effects may not be fully understood, and there could also be better alternative s

    To me, the term "alien" connotes a level of capability much more interesting than what I've actually seen from most modern systems. But point taken. And I'd like to believe that you're right about it only being a ma

    True, at a high level I think the central issue is what kind of curve we're on.

    I tend to think in similar terms. There's so much going on under the surface with even the simplest creatures in the natural world that the physics and computational fundamentals seem really intimidating here. That's not to say th

    Maybe I missed it, but from the spider's perspective do we / can we know if sensing the web vibrations actually feels the same as hearing shorter-range sounds they could pick up naturally? Or is it possible they're just react
