I wrote 500 words yesterday but the calendar date is still blue... any chance you can take a look @nickagliano? The text appears when I click on the date.

This may be apocryphal but I've heard that "howdy" is essentially a contraction of "how do you do"
Edit: Yep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy

Thanks! It currently does save and prefill URLs but you’re right, it’d be easy to hardcode the URL if you always want to use the same one.

Thanks for the kind words! That was definitely my intention with making this. It’s open source as well so let me know if you have any feedback or feel free to just fork/PR.

Has anyone else had the experience of seeing almost zero ads on Instagram since they introduced them? I can count the number I've seen on one hand. I marked the first couple, right after they launched them, as not relevant (they weren't) and since then I think I've seen two, one in the feed and one in their Stories feature.

Spelling - it's John Maynard Keynes, not Keanes :)

Beeminder, as others have mentioned, handles #1 and #3 pretty well (minus the donation to the KKK part - the money for failing goes to Beeminder).
I built GTBee[1] using the Beeminder API which is pretty much #2. Again, the punitive thing is taking your money, starting at $5 and escalating from there.
This isn't to say that it wouldn't be a fun project to build things that do this though!
