tbbfjotllf··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
My oldest todo app that I can think of was just a microsoft sticky note[1] on my desktop. It always stayed on my desktop. It lacked sync between other devices so that sucked but my pc was the only device I had at that time so it worked for me. After I got a phone; google keep has kept me company. It's dead simple, cross platform, and gets work done. The only fault? It's by google, and they have a long history of killing products.

Sounds to me like you need something simple and quick. If the current system works for you I would suggest to keep using it. If you ever feel like you need something better I would recommend trying microsoft todo or google tasks. Google Tasks syncs with your google calendar so it's a bit more powerful. Apart from them both a pretty simple. If you are looking for something even simpler take a look at google keep. This is what I use personally.

Your criticism of discord for this use case is valid. I didn't mean it has to be discord, it could be any platform as long as it allows having proper discussions without being a pain. I believe something like a flarum forum would be way better for this use case.

This seems interesting. Any specific reason why it's over emails instead of something like a forum or discord?
tbbfjotllf··on Figma will IPO on July 31
I believe it has more to do with having a great user experience than to do with whether it's a native app or a web app. Figma was convenient and way ahead of it's competitors. The thing that made it stand out was the collaborative features and the extension ecosystem. The features it didn't have were launched by highly motivated people as extensions. It made both collaboration and working fast extremely simple. Both collaboration and extensions are features that can easily be added to a native app. I love figma but I do miss the ability to be able to work offline.

tbbfjotllf··on Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
SyncThing works really well after you set it up. It's not as straightforward as pairdrop but it has served me well.

If you don't know how to sell, There's no point in worrying/focusing too much on the engineering side. While the engineering side is Important, People have to buy the product first for you to be able to earn anything.

tbbfjotllf··on UPI Payments: 10B transactions a month done, next stop 100B
> "the rest of the planet" doesnt accept visa/Mastercard just anywhere

India does have the infrastructure and accepts credit cards but it's not available everywhere and UPI is more widespread in India. It can be found in street side sellers to massive retail stores. While the street side sellers won't have the methods to accept credit cards, massive stores probably will and there are always ATMs so cash is a thing. For travel we have Uber, and Uber accepts credit cards. so, You don't need UPI but it's a great convenience to have. On the other hand, Not having Internet access after you get out of the airport is definitely a problem.

tbbfjotllf··on Google Adsense/Admob blocks you for life if you use it before you're 18
I tried starting a blog as a kid, I tried monetizing it using Adsense, my application never got accepted, but somehow my account ended up active for 5 minutes before my application got rejected again. I abandoned the blog, and on visiting it after two years, I found out it's showing ads with an adsense account that shouldn't be showing ads, and then I was banned. I would never know if it was because I was still a minor or because Google bots didn't do a very good job.
