I am keeping a mind map of all blogs that I want to read and follow (https://my.mindnode.com/Lr33AxQg1yTrPzYJrAbFD7E6Wr7cM6YyoUfX...)

It's part of a bigger mind map I am making (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge-map)

I started working on it more heavily about a month ago. I already had quite a lot of notes and bookmarks but there were scattered around in various places. It's actually really nice to have a system in place where I can easily add new nodes and information and make sense of it.

This is really amazing. I have added it to my list of websites I am curating (https://my.mindnode.com/y4oVGAm2vzypkm3sxqzxVySu5VzN8bRhzRzP...).

It's all part of a bigger mind map I am making. :)

I recently had an idea of sharing various mind maps that I have made and put it all under one big 'research' mind map to share with the world. That way I can do research in a more transparent way and share my knowledge with the world in a format that both I and other people can use.

I only started with this idea and currently I mostly have an outline of what I want to learn and I slowly add more and more things to the mind map. It would be interesting to see what will come of it in a few years time but for now I hope some of you will find the idea interesting.

Perhaps you too use mind maps for your note taking. I would love to hear what your approach to note taking is.

I make mind maps of what ever topic I am learning / researching. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/my-notes-mindmaps#github-i...)

I then add it to to the main research (https://my.mindnode.com/83qmKgoATj8TyKzprzsPfoirxa2g9WmFGx3x...) mind map.

It's actually really easy to keep it up to date and it is very rewarding knowing that I can share my knowledge with other people.

I also wrote about my approach about mind mapping here (https://medium.com/@NikitaVoloboev/mind-map-everything-d2767...).

Sorry for not replying earlier, only saw that you replied now. Thank you.

Yes I do.

I have been writing in it for the past year and it has really improved my life in many ways. I have written about it detail here :

The feeling of knowing that not a single day has went unwritten about is amazing. I know what I did on every single one of these days and it feels really empowering to see yourself evolve with time.

Can I also please get an invite. This community looks amazing.

Is there any information on how you can run hammer spoon lua bindings from Alfred? I always wanted to call specific functions from hammer spoon from applescript or something but have no idea how you could do that.

This application has been really huge for my productivity.

I have literally rebinded every single key on my mac with it. It is very powerful especially when you combine it with the multitude of Alfred workflows and different scripts that you can run.

I open Alfred with just single press of right command, I switch between all my apps through hotkeys, my caps lock is a hyper key, my right shift is delete. Can't give more praise to this tool really.

Here is how I use it and what my config file for it looks like for all interested :

More importantly, it allows to keep myself sane with the enormous amounts of apps and tools I run on my system (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/my-mac-os) and interchange with them seamlessly.

Is it possible to choose a different background for 'blank ntp' extension?

Any plans to make a Safari extension?

Thank you.

I actually think you can take it a step further. I have my caps lock mapped to esc on single press and as opt + control when held but I also use something I call sticky keys that allow me to keep my hands on the keyboard and on the home row at all times.

I wrote a little piece (http://www.nikitavoloboev.xyz/post/news/) on my approach to reading and information diet.

The way I do it is just by blocking all the websites that I tend to lose my focus on and have only two times in the day when I can visit these sites to get all the information I need.

p.s. it's really strange that hacker news doesn't support sharing of markdown links :(

This is really unfortunate and sad news.
