acucciniello··on Show HN: Edit Google Docs in the Shower via Amazon Echo
It adds to the end of a file, sorry for the confusion. I thought it would be a bad idea to delete everything that is in the file. I'll take that into consideration. Thank you

Thank you for that link. Thank you for your feedback as well. Are you saying that it is not useful because there can be alot on one file versus something like a trello board card?

Haha, well, the theory is to add small things that you might forget when incapable of writing it down. If you have an Alexa, try it out. I would love your feedback!
acucciniello··on Ask HN: How did you escape your 9 to 5 job?
Well, I think that the most important question you need to as yourself is why do you want to be free from the cube? Unfortunately, happiness might not be enough of a motive. Getting free would talk you plenty of work, giving up some fun things you do right now for the possibility of a great future. The problem here is if you WHY is not strong enough, it will be easy to give up and not complete the small actions you need to complete daily to stick to your goal. Once you have your why strong enough ( usually, this means that it's for a greater cause than just benefiting yourself) then you can focus on the strategy to get you there.

Whenever I am walking around the house, or doing a chore and my hands are not free(to pull up a computer or phone) and I had an idea, I wanted to be able to make sure that I can store ideas or things that I needed to complete.
acucciniello··on Ask HN: Did any book(s) change your life in 2016?
The Law of Success by Napolean Hill Reasons Why: - I learned that every thought you have is a vibration, every vibration you send out can be picked up by others. - It breaks down alot of skills for success and how to develop them in a practical way -If you have read Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill this is a basically a better/more in depth version.
acucciniello··on Publishing an Amazon Echo Skill
I hope that my post can help you then! It seems as if with the custom slot type, I was able to create my own slot type for each of the things I needed. Then I gave it some sample inputs for that type and I tried making it general but covering different types of inputs (ones with numbers, symbols etc). Here is a link to my IntentSchema.json file to see how I made the intents: https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-open-doc/blob/master/s.... Here is a link to folder containing the slot type definition files: https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-open-doc/tree/master/s....

That is where the idea for this skill originated but can be used for adding to docs normally
acucciniello··on Show HN: Edit Google Docs in the Shower via Amazon Echo
Yes, it will as long as you have an Amazon Echo. Stay tuned for the skill to be published. I submitted it last week for certification last week. In the meantime if you want to see videos of it working checkout out the project site here:https://acucciniello.github.io/alexa-open-doc/
