This caused me to go back and try Firefox again, I struggled with performance years ago on Mac when I did this. This time it’s been great, I switched from Arc to Zen and don’t see any reason to go back.

SoberStack: a sobriety/recovery tracker built around the idea of focusing on sober days rather then streaks so it's not all or nothing. It uses a Github style contribution graph.

I've been building SoberStack (https://soberstack.app). It's the first side project I've taken on in a few years.

It's a free sobriety app for any bad habits I built for myself. Most sobriety apps reset your counter to zero when you slip, but it uses a Github style contribution graph to show you how far you have come. I also use it to track urges, and store a toolbox that is a reminder if why I am quitting something and what I can do instead every time I have an urge.

I’ve been working through the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, reading Stillness is the Key and Siddhartha.

The SICP might take me a year.

Lost me at calling WD40 lubricant. Although I do agree with the premise, it is very satisfying when it is easy to open your door.

I get skipping days is against the algorithm, but wouldn’t it be better to simply freeze the algorithm for a few days opposed to get a backlog at all? A backlog would break the habit for me making me unlikely to return.

The fact I didn’t know about SRS till I was 30, is a sad one. School and university would have been much easier for me had I known about it. I am very happy for it to be posted constantly!

I managed to finally switch to using Vim after years of attempts, once I used Anki to help me memorize the common commands. I was less frustrated when using it day to day.

Is there no way to skip a day? And simply pause?

All SwiftUI, it is built within Apple's iCloud ecosystem using core data. It's a great way to get an app up and running with sync very quickly, but then you are stuck on Apple's platform.

I built https://www.CheckYourList.app originally for myself for spontanous checklists that I go through regularly. Happy to say it just passed $500 a month recently :)
