The data is stored in Firebase, they are protected by https encryption in transit and firebase encrypts them at rest. Like most cloud services, I can access the notes but it is my policy never to do so and I never have. I'm hoping to i

The idea came from doing it manually, fiddling with timers or calculating time passed was a pain, so I wouldn't actually use the technique often, but when I did, it was very helpful. One of the hardest parts for me has been dealing wit

Many people have made comparisons to org-mode, and org-mode seems really cool. As someone who hasn't used emacs, its hard to get into, but I'd like to explore it more as I'm sure there are many ideas that would serve as inspi

My app https://www.tasktxt.com is a text based todo list with timers. Similar in spirit.

I made a video overview of this tool if you want to see it in action. I also compared its philosophy to my tool TaskTXT ( http://www.tasktxt.com ). Hmm video overview: https://youtu.be/mRbaXHlhwUI

Imba is a compile-to-javascript language that makes HTML and CSS first-class parts of the language as well as react-like custom components. Its the fastest way to create UI that I've found. https://imba.io

Something like: When he quit, he chose a last day that was after his shares vest, which his managers agreed to. When they fired him, it was immediate, before the shares vest.

This is similar in spirit to my app, TaskTXT ( https://www.tasktxt.com ). It's a plain text task manager which allows you to time your tasks, helping you avoid distraction. The timer data is stored right in the document. I ma

Imba 2 does have some level of support for SSR/hydration, but I haven't used those features myself.

You can save Figma files as regular files on your desktop. My app Flinto includes a Sketch import and Figma import feature. I get your point, but just pointing out its not as locked down as you might have assumed.

This feeling is familiar to me as well, I'm sure almost everyone feels it. It reminds me of drawing advice, people always want to know how to get better at drawing, and the answer inevitably is just "practice more", I'd

You can import any node module and use it with imba syntax. I’ve never had a problem doing this.

Same here, I learned Chinese largely by studying a pre made deck of sentences with audio over the course of a few years. I had lots of conversation practice too but the SRS studying bootstrapped my knowledge to the point where I could even

The /idea/ of going from a design tool to working app is obvious. It's figuring out a way to do it that works which is hard.

Is it necessary to use a worker for the timer? If you just record the start time, then inconsistent setTimeout calls aren't a problem because each call calculates the duration from start time to current time. Or am I missing something?

I haven’t seen any mention of what I think is the best gif screen recording app, Claquette. It’s quite advanced and has built in cropping/trimming. The exported GIFs are high quality and somehow magically quite small file size. https:

I'm very skeptical of these kinds of things, but when someone with a similar mindset to me recommended it, I checked it out with an open mind. Back pain I had been having for several months went away right after reading it.
