Just be mindful that a product with the same name and (possibly) similar functionality already exists https://collabedit.net/
Does it/will it support Markdown files?

This is like a slack message
Its just convenience. Its a couple of keystrokes vs a mouse click while you are scrolling
If you are looking to use DuckDuckGo search but still need to review Google's research for critical search tasks, you can use this Firefox addon. Make DuckDuckGo your default search engine so that your initial searches start there and this places a convenient button in the URL panel to execute the same search in Google.

You can search, understand and hallucinate - do anything. All you have to do is ASK.com
I like the attempt but mythology is significantly more layered that just the study of their characters at the end. A single perspective of these stories will help you get the lay of the land but you need to be very cautious if you want to use this to draw lessons and conclusions from them. For example, the protagonist and antagonist are different from the perspective of the other characters. Both these epics are all about the nuance and that needs to be captured effectively to do justice to them

Show HN: Local Hours – Time tracking that's just files (no accounts)

Have you clocked in yet?I built Local Hours, a simple time tracking / timesheet app that treats your data as plain files instead of rows in someone else’s database.No accounts, no backend – All time entries and timesheets are JSON files in a folder you pick. Sync happens via iCloud / Dropbox / OneDrive if you want it.Cross-device by design – The macOS menu bar app and iOS app both point at the...

Show HN: Local Hours – Local-first time tracking app (macOS, iOS, open source)

https://github.com/gogrinimish/LocalHours

I built Local Hours because I needed a simple time tracker that doesn't require online accounts, send data to someone else's cloud, and lock me into proprietary formats.Local Hours stores everything as plain JSON files in a folder you choose. Point it at an iCloud, Google Drive, or OneDrive folder and your data syncs across devices automatically — no docker, no backend, no accounts, no...

Thanks. Looks like the update fixed it.
Running into this error - "Error: Failed to set default application: The file couldn’t be opened." This seems to be happening for extensions that I haven't opened yet (md, json, mailto, etc.) For a new laptop, this might not be available yet. Once I `touch` a file with those extensions, the config works!. FYI, I am using a config.toml file btw.
sensationalism.

https://www.passwordstore.org/ - Its open source and free. I control where my encrypted passwords are backed up. It has integrations will all major platforms
how is this different from the off-shoring model employed by companies for ages? How is this newsworthy?

Title is misleading on HN. The linked article is accurate

Covid-19 fake information on WhatsApp

During this pandemic, I believe, Whatsapp might cause more harm than the virus. Fake advise and information is rampant on Whatsapp and there are no levers to prevent its spread. The advise range from standing in the sun from 11am to 2pm to boiling and eating garlic.This is nuts and I don't know if there is a way to stop this

the goal seems to pair "echo" with as many english words as possible.

echo: dot, auto, show, don’t show, plus, minus, sub, stars, galaxy, up

Which ones are real and which ones are fake?

Can the sentences for this article get any longer?
