As an aside, therapy and psychiatry is expensive partly because insurance doesn't cover things that don't definitively 'treat' or 'cure' a diagnosed illness. Maybe times are changing, but my holistic psychiatrist explained this to me years ago. Psychiatry is more often covered, but psychology almost never. This is also why a search for 'in-network' therapists often leads you to pill-pusher types.
That being said, if this is intended to be widely adopted/viewed like Spacemacs, the marketing and presentation need a bit of work. Between the 'Chad' signifier and the screenshots sharing a color scheme with a tricked-out desktop and other terminal tabs, it's hard to tell if this is a serious standalone project or, to be frank, someone just showing off.
>• PDFs are decentralised. You may have obtained this PDF from a website, or maybe not! Self-contained static files are liberating! They stand alone and are not dependent on being hosted by any particular web server or under any particular domain. You can publish to one host or to a thousand hosts or to none, and it maintains its identity through content-addressing, not through the blessing of a distributor.
This seems to have gotten lost in the offense everyone has taken over the choice to not use 'simple HTML', despite the document's clear reasoning that to do even that would embed the content deep in the 'urban web'. All of these simple-complex propositions about making some subset language or automating document flows are missing the point entirely.
One of the main bizarre design choices was making the address bar shrink as you add more tabs. It made me wonder if these designs reflect the diminution of sites visited in a modern internet user's session. Seems like we are moving from a mode of research-and-explore to residing in one of a few home bases (reddit, twitter, etc) and everything else is reached via Google search -> first result. Since information delivery is now so heavily tailored to a person's filter bubble, there's not as much need to stray. I'd love to read more about something like this.
Yes, fear does come up during derealization experiences, but the difference is there's no grounded "you" experiencing this fear, more that the fear comes as "the experiencer" reconciling the reality one experiences with a new and disconcerting distance. This reads more like a profile of Pure-O OCD (they're comorbid so I got the two-for-one), where there is somewhat logical rumination about a specific fear.
I've never really had a DPDR experience where I was questioning my own free will. To me the external world at the time is best described as seeming aggressively real to the point it seems false, objects indistinct from others, bereft of any intent or memory. You feel like you've lost some foundational understanding of the world that has been instilled in you forever.

Can't wait to try it on iOS because I love idle-growth apps like this. Might be worth looking into how Sleeptown/Forest implement features you're interested in.
I'd recommend figuring out the steps in the FIFO section yourself, as it is largely dependent on how you partition your system, and one would benefit from learning about things like mkinitcpio.
ghi to keep track of github issues
mutt for email, with notmuch for searching/indexing
ynab via wine for budgeting, though I'm not the best at keeping up with that : )
other than that I have a moleskine that I fill with random things related to that day/week/month, inspired somewhat by bullet journal
