I knew this was a Posy video before even opening the link.

Re:PKM apps need to get better at resurfacing information on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @09:37AM (#45197458)

I agree with the author, but the irony is that resurfacing is akin to UI friction. I resurface content in a journal because I have to flip pages to find the content I seek.

I've emulated some of the features the author wants in my obsidian using Dataview, but it's more the human ritual of review that accomplishes this for me.

I do agree, there is a good product there.

I 100% agree that this is the strategy that they are taking… but I wonder if the hardware will catch up fast enough to make the bet pay off.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Andy Matuschak's work on his notes, "Andy-mode:" https://twitter.com/andy_matuschak/status/156803277302543155...

It's a really clever use of the UI, and I think he'd be happy with it.

This a thousand times. The number of times my spouse has said "hey, can I buy… oh wait. We've enough in the budget. Cool."

Re:A review of the Planck keyboard – 48 keys are plenty on Monday June 03, 2019 @10:29PM (#20091230)

I put together a list of odd keyboard layouts if you want to ask any of the folks who volunteered for my post: http://evantravers.com/articles/2019/04/20/community-post-40...

Great update… kind of missing the default window size option. :(

Re:Why it's the late Cretaceous for server side MVC frameworks on Saturday September 10, 2011 @12:02AM (#2980763)

I really want to know what everyone thinks about this… I've been teaching myself RoR to catch up, and now I'm a bit worried I need to be learning node.js or backbone.js.

Re:Show HN: My GitHub iPhone app on Friday May 20, 2011 @10:00AM (#2567655)

The big thing I really would like to see is an ipad app that allows me to edit my files in Textastic. This looks very nice though.

Re:Saying Goodbye to Pylons on Saturday April 23, 2011 @12:05AM (#2476233)

I'm curious about this myself. I'm trying to pick one to go with, it's a toss up between rails and django right now.

Re:Pentadactyl, improved vim bindings for Firefox on Monday April 11, 2011 @07:50PM (#2435045)

I really really want to love pentadactyl, but the interfering with google app shortcuts is a major fall through. I just don't see the huge advantage, when most of my browser tasks already have shortcuts. I do like the /-search, but I already use Firefox's accessibility options to do it. I just don't know.
