indytechcookon Ask HN: What are some niche communities you enjoy?

I'm also interested in knowing these communities. My brother is transferring from storm conversion research to data science and statistics.

My team has been using KBFS for the past year to share keys and secrets without any issues.

indytechcookon Vimflowy – A productivity tool drawing inspiration from Workflowy and Vim

Workflowy is great but it feels a bit stalled. I've since moved over to checkvist. The combination of feature with a keyboard driven workflow works well for me.

indytechcookon Ask HN: Did your life as a parent affected your life as a developer?

The phrase "Having kids changes everything" is true.

I have 3 kids (8, 4 and 2). When I reflect on the past 8 years my most enjoyable experiences have been first with the kids, wife and friends.

I took steps to work from home after my first child was born. This has allowed me to work at a high demand start up and spend quality time with my family. Now I get to take "wrestle breaks." Best 20 minutes of my day.

Kids coupled with dieing grandparents help you to think about the big picture. I will not be one of those people on their deathbed wishing I spent more time with my family. Know what you have before you lose it.

indytechcookon Ask HN: Is S3 down?

My EC2 Servers are also not provisioning.

indytechcookon Show HN: Omniflow – Structure for your thoughts

This seems nice. I'm a fan of outliners.

I like your font and the general feel of the application. It does feel like Workflowy.

It's missing some of the features of https://checkvist.com which is a more fully functional outliner tool then Workflowy. Checkvist is also focused on being 100% keyboard driven.

Also checkout http://www.moo.do/. It's a more innovate approach then the other solutions.

I'd recommend adding some inline help for the keyboard shortcuts.
