Re:Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services? on Thursday June 23, 2022 @06:24PM (#31855841)
Yes and depending on what.

- Notable things that are urgent gets emailed to myself.

- Sites and pages get bookmarked in the browser

- Notes and tasks are added directly into an extension like Notion [0] or Taskade [1] or Pocket [2] and synced to all my devices

[2] - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-pocket/nil...

This was the same issue I ran into after signing up. Each notification "type" required a separate unsub link to disable, and there was no visibility on when it will stop sending me emails.

For more lightweight task and project management with an notes editor and outliner feel, try Taskade [0]

Regarding the APRs, interesting note at the bottom. It's possible this will lower over time.

> Variable APRs range from 12.99 percent to 23.99 percent based on creditworthiness. Rates as of August 2, 2019.

Re:Salesforce is buying Tableau for $15.7B on Monday June 10, 2019 @05:26PM (#20151034)
Not far from the truth here.
Personally for ToDo Lists and Tasks I use Taskade [1] which let's you organize structured docs into different project workspaces and makes it easy to track. For more visual tasks and organization, I've been playing around with Mural [2] and it gets the job done but can get chaotic.

Both are cross platform which makes it easy to collaborate on.

I do miss the days of early Trillian.
Thanks for sharing! Did you automate the landing page creations to match the campaign keywords? If so, how?
Break things down into smaller steps, and take it one step at a time.
Some good alternatives

- Airtable (https://airtable.com)

Mailinator is a lifesaver. Good to see them still up and running after all these years.
Re:Ask HN: How do you keep checklists? on Sunday July 15, 2018 @08:38PM (#17537936)

Very flexible and cross-platform. Works for personal checklists and team projects.

Re:Coinbase Ventures on Thursday April 05, 2018 @09:53PM (#16770329)
Slack does the same.
I can't agree more. AmazonBasics notebooks are great and cost under $10.
I recommend blocking all social media on your desktop browser. I use StayFocused [0] to help me do that.

On mobile, turn off all non-human notifications and alerts.

Sundays are the most productive for me. I use a weekly checklist on Taskade [1] to help me track my progress throughout the week, and on Sundays I would archive the list and start a new one from the templates.

Re:F.lux v4 on Saturday October 14, 2017 @11:44AM (#15472644)
What an incredible milestone. Really glad to see the team still updating this after so many years.
I do wish Wunderlist will add more calendar integration, it is more useful for repeated or short-term goals for me. Basecamp works well for team collaboration, but it is getting quite busy UX wise.

For long term goals and planning, I prefer to break things down into bullet points, and categories, and check them off as I go. https://taskade.com has been great for that (though no calendar integration), especially with their Chrome Extension that loads your most recent list on each new tab.

Todoist is replacing Wunderlist for me with their more frequent updates.

Re:Wall Street Is Giving Up On Twitter on Friday February 10, 2017 @01:26PM (#13617629)
I share the same feeling when using Twitter with a following mainly consisting of friends. If the sole purpose was to communicate with friends, why do so publicly on Twitter?

There is a sense that you can connect with influential people on Twitter, but the truth is your voice just gets lost in a sea of noise.

Re:Show HN: Whoishiring.io – all tech jobs mapped out on Friday January 27, 2017 @11:08PM (#13504850)
Beautiful execution. This needs more attention, and can go hand in hand with the monthly 'Who is hiring' threads.
Re:Stop Checking Email So Often (2015) on Thursday January 26, 2017 @09:48PM (#13497320)
Have you tried playing around with the notification settings, or simply turning notifications off? I find Slack to be distracting in certain channels, or groups that you may join, but there are many ways to manage it to optimize for productivity.

Great points. There are many things to get behind on that list, others not so much. We will just have to wait and see.

Re:Galaxy Note7: What We Discovered on Monday January 23, 2017 @10:08AM (#13462642)
I'm also surprised by the level of transparency here. The Galaxy Note 7 warning signs are at every major airport I've visited recently, the damage is done. Hope to see them recover in the coming years.
Re:Paper is the real 'killer app' on Monday January 23, 2017 @10:02AM (#13462594)
That is the same problem I have with most of the list making apps, but for web, at least Taskcade (https://www.taskcade.com) does the job for me, while feeling somewhat natural typing on it.
