I think it's fine to have more checks for "normal" users, but I'd like to see a better UI for experienced users.
Either there could be a pro-mode app/setting that let's use tone down the warnings a bit and give the extra "allow" option already in the first dialog.
And/or let app developers add an extra dialog to ask for ermissions on install (e.g. in Homebrew).
I haven't tested this but apparently you can disable Gatekeeper completely using:
sudo spctl --master-disable

Atlassian's own hosted version was often very sluggish for me too, although granted that the self-hosted version were a bit worse...

I wish there was also an iOS version, that I could also access my notes from there.

Great idea, I've signed up already.
I have a pretty obvious feature request: I'd like to be able to pace weekly mails to a specific day of the week. I receive a couple of interesting newsletters, but they tend to arrive distributed all over the week and I'd prefer to receive them all for the weekend, i.e. Friday night.
So extending your original idea one could add more specific terms in your subdomain hierarchy. I.e. 19.friday.weekly.paced.email or 7pm.friday.weekly.paced.email.
I assume you should record the user's timezone on sign-up maybe? Or encode it too in a subdomain. I'm not sure which would be more consistent/simple idea...
I've you'd like to implement full cron schedules I'd assume you'd have to replace the wildcard * symbol somehow, but that seems more like an advanced/geek future and would have less appeal for mainstream users.

Some of the advice from David Graeber's book "Bullshit Jobs" seems appropriate. Although you seem to still fulfill a useful function at Google, I found myself using some of the same strategies too.
Being conscious of the demotivating aspects of a job that has too low expectations is described very well in this book.

It mentions the German plants are closing, but the plan is to do this in 2038...

I think it's quite reasonable. My bike is my only vehicle and I don't own a car. It's actually the fastest way to commute in my larger city in Germany.
On the other hand I find it incomprehensible how someone would spent more than 10K for a car that for me seems to offer only very marginal advantages day-to-day. For vacations cars are nice, but then I can just rent one or go by train/plane too.

5 year warranty on bike frames is pretty standard. I've shopped around after my aluminium frame broke after 6 years and nearly all manufacturers offered 5 years.

How well does the Hangouts integration work? I found it involved too many steps when using Hangouts in Slack

I only read that Gladwell overemphasized the specific number but that the overall idea is still true. The original research Ericsson was trying to emphasize that long duration of training using deliberate practice are key.
There's an episode of the Freakonomics podcast that describe the whole situation and it has interviews with both Gladwell and Ericsson: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/peak/
> ERICSSON: Now, right. Gladwell basically thought that was kind of an interesting magical number and suggested that the key here is to reach that 10,000 hours. I think he’s really done something very important, helping people see the necessity of this extended training period before you reach high levels of performance. But I think there’s really nothing magical about 10,000 hours. Just the amount of experience performing may in fact have very limited chances to improve your performance. The key seems to be that deliberate practice, where you’re actually working on improving your own performance — that is the key process, and that’s what you need to try to maximize.

I first heard about it in the excellent learning how to learn online course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn
It's relatively easy find solutions to produce RSS feeds from individual twitter users, but I'd like to read my whole timeline in the RSS reader. There's one tool called [twitter-to-rss](https://github.com/ankitshekhawat/twitter-to-rss), but I haven't tried it and it might be outdated.
