Same, mostly, other than the fediverse. Anything with ads and targeted marketing is more the problem, imo.

It's great. So far so good. I think I can switch spaces using skhd (by the same developer) [1] alongside it. I can definitely send windows to spaces, but still use ctrl + right/left arrow to navigate spaces. [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd

- Emacs (with evil mode) and org-mode. The hours gained far outweigh the hours put in (and the hours put in were fun).

- Yabai on mac for not having to think about moving windows around.

- Pomodoro (now through org-mode) for helping focus (and saving hours, in a round-about-way.)

- Removing as much advertising from my life as possible. (Ublock origin, deleting social networks when possible)

Hiya! I've been working on building an open-source web-app to catalogue and document vegetarian/vegan recipes. I chose Elm to have some fun with the parser and because I enjoy the language. Hope you like it! Would love feedback. Happy to answer questions, too.

Lot of really useful links in here. I built my own interactive fiction[1], but half-way through, the mixture of building the tools to present the narrative, and writing the story itself got pretty conflated. Afterwards, I was recommended some pre-existing tools[2] for a similar endeavour. (still, rolling my own system for telling a story with code was pretty satisfying.)

This is an excellent article -- not just technically, but tonewise as well; kudos to the author.
