Reading the other campaigns on Kickstarter, I think I might not fit the Kickstarter mold... most of them are really tight and focused, but I'm giving off a bit more of a Jack Kerouac stream-of-conscious kind of vibe....

I'm ok with Jack Kerouac stream-of-conscious, but not Clint Eastwood stream-of-conscious. Any thoughts?

:O can you put me in touch with that billionaire?

Thank you! It's encouraging to receive your positive and thoughtful comment about this question. The question itself is meant to provoke self-reflection, which I've also found to bring positive effects. I imagine your blogging process does the same thing. It's well documented that the simple act of journaling does wonders for mental health. What other benefits have you found?

Fascinating- thanks for sharing. Also interesting to read about the discrimination faced and that Russia won the first-woman-in-space-race vis-a-vis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentina_Tereshkova

I love how this response started with a very pragmatic checklist and then quickly turned to some very specific and personal wishes. What would you be doing with that forklift and/or pallet jack now that the house was paid off?

Thanks. I've read that the early morning light has many health benefits: https://www.hubermanlab.com/newsletter/using-light-for-healt... Do you notice any of these?

I created a simple site to review GitHub repos. One might ask, "why review a repo?"

The purpose of writing a review is not to flag issues, but share UX stories.

For example: - a repo could be working as intended, but *might not be a suitable fit for a particular user, stack, or implementation* - a repo could be *losing momentum, core team moved on, orphaned, or have other development meta-issues* that would be helpful sharing - particularly *critical issues are `wontfix` or `not planned`* or on a long-term dev roadmap - multiple repos could be attempting to achieve all or part of the same goal

The *process of comparing repos can be very time-consuming*, and the venue for such a comparison does not lie within one of the reviewed repos (nor their issues, discussions, slack, or discord).

In these cases, it can *save a person hours if not days of work* to read a review.

UX stories can also be written once, and repeated queries funneled to the same point: "sure, take a look at my review here".

Multiplied across multiple teams and orgs this is a *significant increase in community productivity*.

I hope that helps to explain the goal of sharing UX stories in an independent, transparent, and centrally-located repo.

I'd love to get your feedback and anyone who wants to contribute is welcome to. Here's the link:
