kudos! i got similar problems with optimizing recipes & groceries, but i never got past google keep and apple reminder.

anyway, a word of caution about open sourcing. people are quick to scream that you make the source available. but what about this? an article/blog describing in more details how you solved the problem instead? few people ever ask that.

what i saw with open source is, once you put the code out there, people will start requesting features, making you carry the burden of maintenance, etc. but ofc there are good things too. i just haven't seen it with small niche projects.

my 2 cents.

this. pretty UI but disjointed documentation. it's quite up to date (for what i do though) but it's hard to get the whole picture.

hn is weird in similar regards. you get downvoted and you have no idea who downvoted you and why...

that's like, not a "large number" but i digress... just wanted to say that i empathize with the mod that wrote they just were just tired. mods getting tired is reason #1 i left a few communities in the past.

it usually means that things aren't looking good. but there is little that could be done about it. i have not seen it last though. a new wave of people tend to come along with a fresh view on how to handle things. the meantime, though, is what's hard to live through. it's what makes people tired and what makes them move on...

always wonder why functional languages or constructs are often described as being beautiful or using other aesthetic terms. just strange that they are the only ones we ascribe such attributes, among the few paradigms and the many coding styles out there.

git was faster.

i was using mercurial and svn before git. git was hard to learn but i went with efficiency and speed over convenience. also, if you have a good shell or a good GUI you don't need to memorize git commands. and if you are not a game developer uploading large binaries, git is the best around.

first time i am using a throwaway account lol. but, hey, i do read the bible on a daily basis or at least try to. i don't consider myself the most "devout" tbh. but reading the bible daily is very easy!

i mean everyday readings comes in my email along with a bunch of other newsletters. i read all that stuff every morning, so it is definitely not hard.
