> the desk is our habitat

Well put. I agree this is the reality, fantasies aside. No doubt many of us have very productive and effective careers without much leaving the desk. But I like to think that there is fertile ground beyond our natural habitat too, and some of us (like myself) need the encouragement to explore it. At the end of the day though, we'll still need to return to our desk habitat and deliver what we set out to.

This is the question to dwell on I think. I don't know if there are mental ergonomics that apply universally, or even ones that generalise well. For me, I recognise that I think well when I'm physically engaged in some other non-cognitive task, like walking, running, showering, etc.

Another key factor is eliminating the risk of interruptions. I know when I'm at my desk I'm likely to get interrupted, but times and spaces that are interruption free seem to encourage the deepest thought.

I got it from nic.io.

I find iwantmyname.com extremely frustrating and I'm trying to move away from them. YMMV.

I bought this domain for a pet project a few years ago. That project hasn't gone anywhere so I thought I'd offer it up.

I'd love to see it used by some documentation repository or similar. Ping me if you're interested.

I was getting so impatient waiting for the stubborn programmer animation to finish. Inspect -> sources -> stubborn.js -> ohhhhhh... well done.

On the other hand, I first thought this was a Facebook thing since it started with "Setup your Facebook API Keys in OAuth.io". Perhaps something like "Setup API keys for the provider of your choice in OAuth.io"?
