You should take a look at the Frictionless data library https://framework.frictionlessdata.io/docs/guides/validating...

Multi-device sync is useful for me as I sometimes prefer to start the timer from my phone instead of my computer.

But a feature I would love, is a journaling prompt: whenever I stop the timer, I would be prompted to quickly jot down what I've done since I started the timer.

If I understand correctly, this is an alternative UX for Excalidraw slides that makes it easier to use repeated elements (as the default Excalidraw system makes it awkward to do as everything is on the same canvas). But the only "animation"-specific feature is the gif export right? Are there other features planned?

What are those pain points?

Definitely interested!

In the essay, _"The Silicon Valley Canon: On the Paideía of the American Tech Elite essays"_ the author writes

> If the Washington intellectual aims for authority and expertise, the Silicon Valley intellectual seeks novel or counter-intuitive insights. He claims to judge ideas on their utility; in practice I find he cares mostly for how interesting an idea first seems. He likes concepts that force him to puzzle and ponder. > This is fertile soil for the dabbler, the heretic, and the philosopher from first principles.

You should try Readwise

An individual car doesn't stop you from walking but a culture that centers cars leads to cities where walking is outright dangerous.

Most car owners would never say outright "I want a car-centric culture". But car manufacturers lobbied for it, and step by step, we got both the deployment of useful car infrastructure, and the destruction or ignoring of all amenities useful for people walking or cycling.

Now let's go back to the period where cars start to become enormously popular, and cities start to build neighborhoods without sidewalks. There was probably someone at the time complaining about the risk of cars overtaking walking and leading to stores being more far away etc. And in front of them was probably someone like you calling them a luddite and being oblivious of second order effects.

People interested in the topic should go read the free "Shape Up" book by the Basecamp team, where they explain that process and contextualize it in great detail within the product development cycle.

I'm pretty sure that everyone who reads him for his knowledge would agree that the research (even if from his own past writings), formatting, illustration of his many threads take him much more time than the one-up replies.

They're also pretty easy to ignore (unless you somehow feel offended by them), and mainly appear on people's feeds because of how retweeted they are.

Is there a way to export a test as a Playwright script?

Does it? From a user perspective is it possible to see the difference between "giving access to a set of contacts" and "giving your whole contact list away"?

If you check their other comments, it's clear that they're using an llm to respond.

Have you looked at Datasette? It has faceted search by default. https://github.com/datasette

Looks nice, but I have some questions: - I see that you store files. Do you expect people to migrate their files away from Google Drive (one of the most popular option for contractors and micro business) ? - Do you support multiple currencies in the financial tracking? - what do you bring to the table in terms of contractor management? This is a big thing for me as being rigorous and predictable when dealing with contractors I bring in for specific tasks is even more important than being rigorous for my internal processes. I would guess that many micro-business work with a network of contractors for the things that are not their core expertise. - what's the eventual business model?

While physical activity is good, high level competitive sports takes a toll on the body. Adding doping into the mix means that you willingly encourage athletes to take even more risks with their health and life. You also create a much bigger opportunity for countries with loose human rights track records to abuse individual athletes they have control over, as having Olympic medalists is used as a political tool for politicians to improve their standing on the global stage, and to improve their image within their country.

You should read up on the history of doping, it's not pretty. An example I have in mind is female swimmers from USSR who were forced to get pregnant (by their coach) and abort before the competition to rise their hormone levels, as it was thought to help their performance. Compare images of what female swimmers looked at the time vs what their look like now.

I don't think anyone who cares about human rights want to go back to that era.

Nice workflow!

It should be fairly easy to adapt it to use the LLM cli by simonw[0] to do the same, with be added bonus of being able to pick which llm to use, including local llms.

Looks quite useful, thanks! Though when you said that the tool helps you understand the main schema, I thought it would output an outline of the json tree. But it doesn't seem to do that, unless there's an option for it?

You will probably enjoy Datasette more for this use case

My current issue with Google Sheets is that it gets really slow when I connect tries to load data from dozens of sheets into a single one using multiple importrange. Does your solution work better for this use case?

Why did you stop using YNAB?

Tangentially related, but I've recently started distinguishing verification and validation in my data cleaning work:

verification refers to "is this dataset clean?" or the more precise "does this dataset confirm my assumptions about what a what a correct dataset should be given its focus"

validation refers to "can it answer my questions?" or the more rigorous "can I test my hypotheses against this dataset?"

So I find this interesting (but in hindsight unsurprising) that similar definitions are used in other fields. Would you have a source for your defintions?

Have you looked at Datasette? Seems like it addressed the exact pain point you're describing.

Why is Wise no longer an option?
