Agreed! It's nice to have both, but thinking really requires good keyboard support.

Added richer keyboard editing to loosethought.com

Personally, I really love the the 'jump' tool, which assigns shortcut keys to each note you can see πŸ™‚

Brainstorm, capture notes and run through research without using a mouse, and keep the benefits of visual thinking.

Youll also see this if you are using decorators/Mediatr in C#.

The decorators set up the context (database connection, impersonation, tenant id etc) so you want the actual work to happen there, rather than passing it out to some upstream caller.

I saw the keynote DHH gave at the most recent Rails conference, very inspirational! My Windows days are definitely numbered.

If only the Framework as good as a Macbook, wrt battery. I have a 4 your old M2 Air, and I still toss it in a bag without bringing so much as a USB cable with me.

Yes please do, curious about how this works out. How much information do you need to provide, copy/screens etc?

And of course, what kind of impact it might have!

If you have any Apple devices Ive found their built in password thing works just fine.

Integration on Apple devices is obviously great, and tolerable on Windows as well

Hey!

I think you’ll have more luck if you add a profile picture (of yourself) and use your actual name.

My first reaction was β€œspambot”, but you appear to be genuine, as you say πŸ™‚

Fantastic! Always forget that β€˜shadowing’ doesn’t work and end up with a more laborious double property workaround

One you do this and see that the world does end you can let more of them go back into the void. πŸ™‚

Always amazes me that there are so many good ones still there. There’s almost an infinite supply of them, waiting to be found

Yea I was also curious about that. 300 is not nothing, but submitting to these directories is such a drag, some of them have several pages of stuff to fill out.

All the time, exact same thing (DMARC)

Agreed that they seem to be auto generated and appear whenever you publish a site somewhere, particularly a startup directory.

Yes there really is no substitute!

Particularly when you get into that spinning your wheels/hopeless state of mind!

Forward progress with #fsharp for #javascript with CloudflareFS. Three sample projects: "HelloWorker", "R2WebDAV" which is a port of the TypeScript project I updated, and a "Simple-CLI" that manages them both via management API (No TOML, no wrangler). @cloudflare.social github.com/speakeztech/...

I’m no expert and all that, but having even a handful of real users will give you some perspective on things.

Most will try it out and try it once and then disappear πŸ™‚ But some will give you remarks and feedback.

Sending 1-1 messages or responding to specific questions on Reddit/FB etc helps.

Have you tried reaching out to potential users directly?

Yes I can absolutely relate!

Marketing is like sowing seeds, if you skip it in the spring, you will have an unhappy winter.

Added fonts to loosethought.com !

It was based on feedback, so its ok to add features, right? 😊

Lets you set up really nice 'title cards' for research/writing projects.

It's based on the idea of #web font 'defaults' (cursive, mono etc) to let you customize them at some point.

Yea retail outfits have done this for a long time with β€˜secret shoppers’, it should happen a lot more often I think.

Interesting. Hadn’t heard it transliterated that way before.

(The actual Irish name is Baile Átha Cliath)

This is my feeling as well.

As an alternative to researching stuff on the open web it’s quite useful indeed.

But when it comes to actually laying out the solution I find it very distracting and obstructive

20.09.2025 15:28 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yea. Its tough to do something like this alone, it makes sense that you would team up with a friend.

I think on my case I was a lot younger at the tine and too smart about life planning πŸ™‚

Glad to see things are working out already for you!
