Glad it works for you!
Inbox zero is a cognitive hack in a way that works for some (at least for me). It frees some of the mind-cycles that normally are wasted on worrying about an ill-defined and always growing 'todo list' held in a mail account. I personally prefer to define my tasks, at least the longer ones, using verbs - as I would delegate them, but to myself. Also having more clear outcomes defined and written so I don't have to think about it more than once helps me a lot. So if you are like me, having inbox zero and a clearly defined todo list just gives more freedom to be creative and focused on a task at hand and not to worry unconsciously about everything else waiting in my mail account. But everyone's different so what works for one doesn't necessarily work for others and everyone can or maybe should pursue their own methods to deal with 'stuff'.

It looks very like an s-expression. Maybe we should go back to Lisp for our data encoding? (and to our code when we are at it? ;))

I still have a Timex 2048 (a clone of Sinclair ZX Spectrum). It is not the first Spectrum I used, but first I owned. It works still and I have a family tradition of plugging it into our TV set each Christmas and playing the games we have grown up with. Years ago I could use my PC workstation to "play" tape recordings into it but nowadays you have to use an Android phone [1] as I think there is too much of sound filtering built in and the tapes just don't load.

Few years ago after not logging into Skype for few months when I have launched Skype I was logged in automatically to another person's account (similar in name to my own, but with additional prefix). It happen few times in period of 2-3 years. When I tried to report it, support staff supposedly handed the info to their supervisor and that's was it. Fortunately web client had resolved such issues.

Cool! It just reminded me that yesterday I have stumbled upon a 'visual programming' environment built on Haskell: http://www.luna-lang.org/
Haven't had time to play with it yet.

Isn't "reader mode" available on some browsers almost a "no style" option? I use it exactly for that reason. I admit not every page is reader-mode-enabled but I just don't bother with those.

Full-disclosure: I'm part of the team behind RevDeBug Prompter.
It's free to use for commercial purposes also. You'll need VS 2017 (update 3) to use it.
Would be glad to hear your feedback :-)

It would make my life at least in some areas easier.
The problem I see is how to buy into the idea people who doesn't interact with different time zones at all (and probably that's most people)? It doesn't add them any value and transition would just provide additional hurdle. So where is value for them, how to buy them in?
