a_alakkad··on Ask HN: How do ADHD people cope on here?
Regarding HN in particular, I use https://hckrnews.com/ with "top 10" visible to reduce the amount of things I need to check. If that's too much, subscribe to https://hackernewsletter.com/ and don't consume content on the main HN website.

Realizing the we have finite time and cognition is key to help us accept and reduce what we consume and what we like.

a_alakkad··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
Done, thanks!

I'm working on Journal Prompts, get constant prompts delivered to your inbox, to help you make the journaling habit stick!

I'm still in validation step, wanted to know if people are interested in such service before I jump in to development.

Honestly I just wanted to dive into development and dealing with code, but if I want a proper product I need to validate it first and I need to deal with people and make them top priority rather than my personal interest in coding :)

a_alakkad··on Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
Thanks!

Wish you all the best in your app, I think a touch of css would change it drastically (I'm sure it's on your list)

a_alakkad··on Ask HN: What's the minimum exercise one should do in 30s to stay healthy by 70s?
Thank you for sharing your experience!

Being fit is a big word and somehow not easy to achieve especially for people sitting in front of the monitor most of the day.

Do you have any advice on how to be fit in the 30s? maybe any specific exercise(s) that you'd recommend?

a_alakkad··on RIP Turkey, 1921 – 2017
I'd like to add also, that it's not just the government welcoming Syrians.

The people of Turkey are welcoming Syrians.

It's not about money, it's about acting like humans from both Government and People.

P.S. I'm not talking about people whom I respect, I'm talking about governments.
a_alakkad··on RIP Turkey, 1921 – 2017
Have you thought why EU nations paid Turkey for allowing refugees in, while not allowing them to enter the EU directly?

And why they keep arguing with Turkey to keep the sea borders block so refugees don't cross to Greece via sea?

a_alakkad··on RIP Turkey, 1921 – 2017
As a Syrian, Turkey is the most country that welcomes (and still welcoming) us between its people.

All other countries (except some like Sudan) doesn't require a visa for Syrians, while all other countries require one.

The world still doesn't understand this war we have and think it's a civil war.

People can't imagine that the few news they hear is true, they think exaggerated news.. believe me, it is not exaggerated at all, the opposite is true.

Children died from chemical weapons, a father has held his two twins after they died, all of this are happening to Syrians, and no one cares.

For Syrians, Turkey has done a lot and we appreciate it a lot, and we pray that Turkey stays safe in all aspects.

a_alakkad··on Ask HN: Best Git workflow for small teams
We work as small team, 3-5 people max.

We just keep it simple like:

- No one pushes to master.

- For every feature (or update on a feature), create new branch.

- Send pull request for reviewing (one of us is the reviewer).

- Merge pull request into master.

---

You could try git workflow, but it's just too complicated for small team (and for large teams too?).

a_alakkad··on Ask HN: Google drops XMPP today?
XMPP is working fine with me, if you've activated the 2-step verification recently then you have to stop it before you can use XMPP protocol again.
a_alakkad··on Ask HN: Is it worth learning a new language for your startup?
It depends!

If you can afford to hire a programmer to code for you it'd be fine, so you can focus on other things.

a_alakkad··on Ask HN: If you weren't coding for a living, what would you like to be doing?
Live in countryside, take care of sheep and planting!
