This is super cool and I look forward to sharing with my art friends. One piece of unsolicited feedback: it is really nice to focus on a particular image in the gallery, but when I'm done, it puts me back in normal cursor mode and I have to click to 'step inside' again. Minor annoyance. Otherwise really neat.

if you are having pain in your abdomen, get it checked out. if you have gallstones, get the surgery. eating fatty foods after can be "consequential" to say the least. but it beats the pain.

I once came across the concept of a “day list,” and it’s helped me reduce similar habitual distraction/procrastination. It’s like a to-do list, but reframed as “these are the things I could do with my time. Not must.” I describe each item in the simplest possible way, even if it represents a complex task.

Of course, I still use task managers, calendars, and notes apps, and they’re useful in their own ways. But physically writing a day list with pen and paper reliably keeps me on track. If I start to drift, I look back at the list and it brings me back.

Your mileage may vary.

signed up last night. its simple but super useful. not sure if im the average customer but i can see myself using this for a handful of things.

I just got the z fold 8. I'm finding vibe coding much more appealing in tablet mode with the extra horizontal real estate. Chat on the left, browser preview on the right. Before, vibe coding away from my desk has always been a PITA. This is actually useful.

might take too long depending on the job. but it would be a really nice option

Designer here. There is a lot of pressure at the startup I work at to use AI for everything so we can 'move faster'. Often working with vague requirements. Given leaderships inexperience building software, having something to look at and point to is helpful for sussing out requirements and edge cases.

Figma is still my preferred canvas. Figjam is still great for rough wireframes, flows, and agreeing on data models with my eng counterparts.

But Claude accelerates the divergent early stage 'exploration' work. Unfortunately we don't take the time to properly validate the concepts with customers. Again in the name of 'moving fast'. They will learn eventually I guess.

I'm getting off-topic. Claude is super helpful. As time passes I'm doing more and more work with it. But sometimes taking my design system and pushing pixels is genuinely faster when there is an obvious solution, opposed to ensuring Claude has all the right context to solve a relatively simple problem.

All depends on what I'm working on really.

Same goes for me - in my teens and early twenties, I listened to plenty of music with lyrics while working. By the time I got into my mid/late twenties, that changed. Now I more or less exclusively listen to electronic music (jungle / dnb / downtempo / idm).

Music helps me get into a flow, but it has to be pure vibe and rhythm. Lyrics definitely distract from the task. Family and peers find it odd that I don't really listen to or seek out music with lyrics.

I can enjoy it, just not what stimulates me at this point.

Not defending the body-shaming, but I imagine the reference to his large head is meant to be a double entendre. Figuratively, a massive ego. Literally, a big head.

only had the chance to see him once before. he is one of my favorites. his cosmic twilight sets from tipper and friends events are killer.

How does one discern between productive and unproductive forms of self-help?

There are "NBOMe" compounds though, such as 25I-NBOMe, which may easily be sold as LSD or "acid" to the unsuspecting. LSD should be colorless, odorless, and tasteless, whereas NBOMes are known for their metallic and bitter taste.

"If it's bitter, its a spitter"

There's definitely a gap here. I've attempted to use Google Maps while cruising or walking around a new city and glance at what's around me every few blocks, but I certainly crave something that's going to recommend new places for me to check when I am traveling.

Considering Google has so much location history of its users, along its Places data, one would think that creating a recommendation engine for travelers would be fairly trivial for them. I would not be surprised if they are already working on this.

That said, I would enjoy and potentially prefer an alternative solution to one they could provide.

This exactly. One needs to establish trust with these people, as they have almost always dealt with some form of trauma one way or another - either physically, emotionally, psychologically, etc.

When this stuff is made into a process, it becomes robotic and the empathetic, human element of it is taken away from it.

These people need someone to listen and understand, not necessarily someone to shove anti-psychotics and whatever else caretakers are told to do.

I'm not saying drugs don't help, but it's best when trust is established, and one can help the patient see why the drug is necessary at the time.

That has always been my problem when seeking help for my psychological issues. I'll see a GP or a specialist, get a prescription, they may go over the mechanism of action with me if I push them to, but otherwise I'm told to take 2 every day and report back in a month.

I'm a lab rat. Not a patient. See why these people have trouble getting help? They don't feel like patients getting treatment.
