I recently found llm-buddy (https://github.com/ahyatt/llm-buddy) which might be a good fit.

Llm-buddy is an “Emacs package that watches your recent buffer edits and asks an LLM to review them. When it finds something worth pointing out, it can add a short inline note in the relevant buffer or show a message in a popup buffer (it usually does the former).

The goal is lightweight feedback while you work: typos, logic mistakes, questionable edits, or prose issues that a normal compiler, linter, or spell checker may not catch.”

macOS Mail app is still the best native e-mail client in my experience.

I have switched to Thunderbird full-time since I switched to Linux. Can confirm it supports unified inbox.

I’ve recently started an open-source self-hosted data platform (https://github.com/kot-behemoth/kitsunadata) with Dokku being a great initial deployment mode. It’s mature, simple to get started and has tons of docs / tutorials.

I collected a bunch of links while learning it, and launched https://github.com/kot-behemoth/awesome-dokku, as there wasn’t an “awesome” list.

Hope it helps someone!

Obsidian.nvim (https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim) has been working really well for me. I use Obsidian mobile app (it’s not the best in this space, but still very good). And on my laptop, I’ve got neovim - getting to the daily note is one key combo. It’s also super fast and syncs using Obisidan Sync (or you can do your own).

> Before I start working on a feature, I simulate how it's going to work in my head and try to identify all the hurdles and alternatives; sometimes several levels down in the hypothetical component/module hierarchy. I do brainstorms, draw diagrams and make lists of pros-and-cons. I use as many visual aids as I can get.

Remarkably, this is how 37Signal's Shape Up (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) encourages defining feature work prior to building.

In particular, the concepts of Rabbit Hole (as explored with senior developers prior to coding), Breadboarding and Fat Marker Sketches (having a high-level but end-to-end map of the feature) are almost identical to what you're describing.

I found this approach both intuitive in my personal development work, and as a tech lead for lean teams. Funnily, quite a few people really struggle with the concept of "thinking through the feature end-to-end", and not just "let's start with one piece and then figure it out". It's great to do development in small chunks with unknowns, but we still need to know what we are all trying to achieve!

(not affiliated with Shape Up / Basecamp, I just feel Jira leads to hugely suboptimal and waterfall-y processes).

Just a heads up that Prefect integration link on the landing page doesn't work - 404. This is the one I was interested in!
