Thanks for sharing this, it’s great to see people making money off of something they love.

I can see why you got a lot of visitors.

Some downtime is important and healthy, but it is too easy to waste hours and stay up late staring at a television.

Not a developer tip specifically, but not wasting time and sleeping well is the best way to improve your efficiency at everything.

Not quite one button, but option- clicking the notifications icon at the far right of the menu bar will also enable do not disturb

We import shared styles for typography, color, and some layout basics, but each component gets its own CSS file.

Used to be a hardcore Sass lover, and CSS modules took a small amount of getting used to, but worth it in the long run.

Times are always changing. Markets grow rapidly, and then they mature and growth gets flatter.

Specifically looking at Apple, while I agree that their focus has shifted away from the Mac platform somewhat and towards iOS, wasn't that to be expected with the huge growth in mobile and tablets over the last 10 years? Now, mobile growth is slowing[0] and tablet sales are flat/dropping[1].

Laptops aren't going anywhere... the vast majority of white collar workers use a laptop or desktop everyday. And while I can't predict what Apple is going to do (who can?), it seems unlikely that they'd completely drop a market that generated $5.7B in revenue in Q4 of 2016 [2].

Your imposter syndrome is showing! Designing and building a tool like this and selling it qualifies you as an entrepreneur.

Get a low-cost marketing channel going (or improve your margins to make other marketing options feasible) and see how far you can run with this.

Thanks for the interesting read.

The parent discussed the diet of these huge countries as if they were consistent across all (or even most) individuals. In my opinion, this becomes highly subjective very fast.

Granted, this argument is pretty pedantic, and the threshold which determines when a group is too large to discuss as a single unit is squishy and highly contextual.

Speaking of a group of about 1.6 billion people as if they were a monolith is not particularly productive.

Just looking at China itself, there is huge variation in the "average" diets between different provinces (e.g., Shanghainese dishes tend to be sweeter, Sichuanese dryer and spicier, etc.). And even at that provincial level it's kind of silly to lump everyone into a single average.

Warning: it can be extremely depressing to listen to specific examples of how poor a job the media does of actually covering "The News".

Of course, there are a ton of features I'd like to add to it, but I've been using it for the last few weeks and I find it pretty handy (though I'm a bit biased!).

Hope someone out there finds it useful!

Pros of handwriting/pen+paper:

    - Extremely high "resolution" (can fit a lot of information in a small space)
    - Flexibility
    - Direct input: tools rarely "get in the way"

    - Editing is cumbersome
    - Storage/retrieval is annoying (no search!)
    - Sharing/collaboration is not as good as digital

But, even in the US, I think stock markets are like a balloon tied to the wrist of a toddler on a windy day. They may very generally track where some part of the economy is, but there's too much interference and interpretation to get a precise picture. Even worse, the length of the string is unclear.

My (admittedly limited) understanding is that most economists are still expecting significant growth in China this year, though not as strong as previous years.

Also, the recent financial crisis in the US was partially/mostly driven by a debt crisis (housing/mortgage issues), which historically has had far larger and longer-term impacts than a stock market crash/correction.
