and let alone competing on the energy consumption!

oh interesting, I never thought about using my obsidian vault for that.

Can you share a bit more about how you structure this and how you would recommend getting started ?

very nice! I'll give it a shot! I thought about something similar in the past few years. I like the fact that you insist on "no social pressure" and a "gentle" nudge. The goal is not to make the user feel bad :). I also like that you make me import just a small subset of my contacts, to not feel overwhelmed right from the beginning (start small! make it work then make it better).

some quick feedback: - I feel a more natural path to add an "extra checkin" would be from the "flower" in the garden (home page). - I would love to be able to add a date in the checkin. Let's say I know the person I just checked in with told me she has an important event coming up (exam, interview, work deadline, baby...) I'd love to be able to add a specific date for a future checking on a specific topic.

Agree. This is a transition from being "in" the loop to being "on" the loop.

  Slow down, you crazy child
  You're so ambitious for a juvenile
  But then if you're so smart
  Tell me why are you still so afraid? Mm
  Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
  You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
  You've got so much to do
  And only so many hours in a day, hey

  But you know that when the truth is told
  That you can get what you want or you can just get old
  You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  Slow down, you're doing fine
  You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
  Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
  Too bad, but it's the life you lead
  You're so ahead of yourself, that you forgot what you need
  Though you can see when you're wrong
  You know you can't always see when you're right
  You're right

  You've got your passion, you've got your pride
  But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
  Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  Slow down, you crazy child
  And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
  It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  And you know that when the truth is told
  That you can get what you want or you could just get old
  You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
  Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

same here, I was looking for a tool that does exactly that a few weeks ago. Ended up just comparing 2 google maps with same zoom level, but it's not practical at all. Open to any suggestion you may have!

What zigbee switch do you recommend ? I was considering Sonoff zbmini.

woodworking :)

I just finished (yesterday) a custom shelf for my daughter -> https://imgur.com/a/7zGHOOG

It took me 6w VS the 2w initially planned, but the result is worth it!

With so many hours spent on my screen doing virtual stuff, touching the materials and seeing my progress materialized is very satisfying.

hahaha this one is TOUGH !

> Maybe instead of coding, you should consider building a personality. Good luck with that!

I was wondering the same. I'm very happy with Alfred and I use the clipboard history a lot. There is just no way back to having only 1 item kept in memory!
