There really isn’t a need to know when someone messages you or you get news.
Doing this helps you focus more both for work but also for chill time.
Thanks for sharing!
Probably already mentioned before (lazy to scroll) but if you’re building something and need icons don’t just use one package.
If you’re building in React or a compatible JSX library use react icons (https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/).
It lets you pick and choose from many packs (Feather included) and if you’re careful with your selections you can meet pretty much all needs in a cohesive way. Until you can afford an in house designer :P
I will try not to get too philosophical by first getting “work productivity” out of the equation. You must have tools for work productivity and maybe that’s the focus of OP.
There is the concept of “life productivity” which involves your personal projects, hobbies, your life plans, family, etc.
These are goals and aspirations which are deeply connected to your fulfillment. You can’t really put these in buckets of tasks. In fact, the mere notion of doing so sets you up for failure in many cases.
Imagine getting out of work where you look at a wall of todos to complete just to look at another. It’s exhausting and uninspiring.
By rejecting that concept and instead focusing on inspiration, curation with some level of organization and mapping you are building something something that more closely resembles your priorities and that continues to make you feel proud and happy about your past, present, and future accomplishments.
Happy to chat more about this if you’d like.
Privacy is hard. I’d love to give e2e encryption off the get-go but that makes it difficult to scale up and build advanced search functionality for a small team. Would be interesting to see how Anytype or similar tools accomplish it.
It’s so liberating not to have a mountain of tasks that I’ll never get to and instead enjoy time creating a visual space for things I care about.
Shameless plug on an app I’m working on: Bleep (https://www.bleep.is)
Similar concept though different execution - customization + organization in a way that doesn’t feel like a productivity tool which is what I think Kinopio is aiming towards. Definitely an inspiration for me!
Kinopio looks great I will take it for a spin soon.
