Thanks for the kind words! While I wish you didn't have to go through that, I'm hoping the understanding has helped make things easier for the present.

One of us! One of us :)
Thank you! Will have a look
Thank you for the feedback. I 100% agree and will look at adding something along those lines in the next update.

I was initially under the impression that people in other tech ecosystems may not even consider the AirPods for exactly that reason, but now that I think about it, people not familiar with certain Apple products may not know about the lack of compatibility in the first place.

Super valid and useful bit of feedback, so thank you so much for sharing your perspective .

Thanks for the heads up! I just had a look and presume you mean the "Juice Pack" models? I've put it on my list of things to research and try .
Hello brains!

I'm sure you've already guessed it, but I'm a huge fan of Jessica's videos too! I love what she's done and she's one of the people who inspired me to start doing some videos about ADHD too (planned in the coming months). I'll also be linking her channel in the resource section soon, along with Adam Savage's tested and a few others.

Thanks for the feedback about wide screens btw, will look into it. May I ask what the resolution is of the screen and what browser you're using? I'll save that as a size to test for when updating the site.

I'm so happy you liked the desk whiteboard and 100% know what you mean about the omnidesk setup. Also, if that's a cardinal sin, I too am a sinner as I currently have on my desk...an iMac, a 3D printer AND an airbrushing setup .

As for the recommendations. Thank you so much for taking the time to share those! I'll add them to my list of things to test next. Also, since you've mentioned the bookmarking, do check back in a few weeks as I currently have about 20 more things I'll be slowly adding.

Once again, thank you so so much for your detailed feedback, suggestions and the kind words. The resulting dopamine boost is making me even more excited to continue working on this .

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!

It was really tricky balancing momentum while battling Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria thinking (one of the common ADHD comorbidities) and impostor syndrome traps, but your message has put a HUGE smile on my face and made me glad that I not only created the site, but also shared it here .

Also, thank you for the specific feedback regarding the design! I did usability tests with ADHD'ers (with some I even pretended I didn't design the site so they would give me 100% honest feedback), but you can never know the potential response without putting it live. I'm also super happy that the small design/content elements are something you appreciate.

Thank you! I hadn't yet thought of that because I'm new to building stuff like this by myself, but I will put it on the list of things to research/add.

One of my next steps was to add an email newsletter opt-in. May I ask whether that would fulfil the same function or do you think RSS would be better?

If the latter, I'd appreciate if you could share your thinking :)

Show HN: ADHD STASH. A curated collection of ADHD friendly products and services

Over the past few years I've struggled to find good/trusted resources for things that might be useful to those with ADHD.Common issues with other sites were:* Very limited options and/or info, or products that weren't actually useful.* Blog post or news articles like "top 10 things to help with your ADHD" often had limited info or didn't have enough context to be useful.* Unclear if some...

Re:Ask HN: I lost interest, what should I do? on Monday August 13, 2018 @12:25PM (#17751282)
Hi there,

It takes a fair bit of courage to open up about such issues and seek help. I want to start by saying that I respect you for doing that and that it's a step in the right direction :)

I think the first thing is to speak to your local doctor or GP about how you’re feeling. If you’re currently feeling absolutely overwhelmed, they are the people who are best equipped/trained to help and provide short term solutions. May I ask if you’ve considered or already tried this approach?

Cheers

Thank you! Will try that out
Re:On depression and writing on Thursday May 31, 2018 @03:31PM (#17199361)
Hi there,

This is a post about my experiences dealing with depression and one of the methods I used to cope.

It's my first such blog post and while the topic is something very personal, I am trying be more open about things, especially if my experience can help others. I would very much appreciate hearing your thoughts, feedback or relevant experiences.

Thank you in advance!

Ask HN: What non pharmacological means do you use to manage anxiety/depression?

Just to clarify. This does not exclude those who are also on medication.In my case, I’ve been on antidepressants for about 2 years and have found the following helpful in mitigating my anxiety and depressive moods:* Writing every day: It not only helps me identify and understand my triggers, but also provides a feeling (perhaps an illusion) of control that I feel is helpful.* Cutting out...

Not wordpress, but currently building a digital travel journal in which you can share trips like this https://esplor.io/trips/k8g96my2j4vnm (press see timeline for the diary view)

Based on what you said, you seem like the user we would target. Any feedback would be brilliant!

Some of the problems in the article are what my startup has been dealing with for a while. We are basically trying to deal with the competence issue by letting people create travel logs of their adventures (both during and post trip)and use that to make customized travel suggestions for the future. Users can basically share trips like the one below and we link up with most networks to import content from past trips. https://esplor.io/trips/k8g96my2j4vnm.
