Personally, I gave up on Google Chrome long back and moved to Firefox.

What's your opinion on this new tracking mechanism that Google rolled out?

Whoa, thanks for posting such a detailed comment. Loved to hear your experiences.

> It is so much harder to separate work and personal life when you have mixed devices.

Yup, exactly. The lines get blurry and you end up overworking.

> The company has some variety of admin access to the device for forensics, remote wipe.

Yup, I missed this point. Totally valid.

In this post, I talk about how the current newsletter frenzy has plagued our email inboxes, and how I deal with the situation.

WDYT? Are you tired of receiving too many newsletters?

Re:Show HN: A read-it-later app to solve Pocket/Instapaper's endless l... on Monday July 27, 2020 @10:23PM (#23971695)
Hi guys,

I have been working on a side-project for a few months to solve the "ever growing reading list" problem in current read-it-later apps like Pocket or Instapaper.

Dayreads allows you to save articles to your inbox, like a to-do list app, and then create smaller and manageable reading lists for each day of the week.

I have been using this app for quite some time, and it has been helpful in maintaining a reading habit.

Here's a getting started guide: https://dayreads.help/getting-started

Currently, there are no mobile apps, but there are browser extensions for Chrome/Edge and Firefox.

Hoping to get some feedback from the HN community before I go deeper into this project.

Just to clear the air here. The posts that you are talking about were either for company blogs, or casual "I don't care if they live or die" kind of posts.

At around the same time, I started working on a small blogging platform of my own but gave up and started using SSGs like Gatsby, Jekyll, etc.

Hope this clears things up. :)

CleanShot X is an amazing tool for grabbing screenshots on macOS. I'm giving away 3 licenses worth $29 each on this post where I talk about my favourite areas of the app.
Re:Maintaining readable code in Kotlin projects with type aliasing on Saturday November 23, 2019 @10:32PM (#21618167)
I was wondering how many people here on HN use type aliasing in their codebase.

Kotlin, Swift or any other language.
