I love the design of Notes, and I used it a lot for the past few years to store work and personal notes, but I found the sync to be very unreliable. Notes on my iPhone keeps getting out of sync with Notes on my laptop. It happens every few weeks, and I have to log out and login again to fix it. Maddening.
I switched recently to Obsidian and am really enjoying the speed, simplicity, extensibility, and being back in control of my files.

The status page shows a lot of yellow and red now.
From http://status.aws.amazon.com/ Update at 11:35 AM PST: We have now repaired the ability to update the service health dashboard. The service updates are below. We continue to experience high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1, which is impacting various AWS services. We are working hard at repairing S3, believe we understand root cause, and are working on implementing what we believe will remediate the issue.

DIVE Networks | Senior Software Engineer | Toronto, ON, CA | ONSITE preferred, but REMOTE is an option for senior candidates | Full-time
DIVE is building the world's best software-driven news network. Our product replaces mass market comercial news products like CNN on TV screens within business environments. Unlike old school TV news, DIVE is algorithmically curated, always fresh, and highly relevant (personalized) to each customer's needs. Customers publish their own news too.
Our platform is Clojure, ClojureScript, React, Python, Django, Postgres and Ubuntu on AWS. Right now we’re focused on building out our news content portfolio (data ingest and web UI), adding essential platform features, and making the whole thing scale with TV-like reliability.
Our team is small and growing. We need your help both to build DIVE and define its evolution.
We are hiring a senior software engineer. This is a full-time position at our Toronto location. We need someone who has done big things before. There are junior roles at DIVE but this is not one of them.

Hello friend! We build DIVE, a service that visualizes brand- and audience-related data in beautiful, fun, informative ways. Think "24 hour news channel for brands".
We are hiring a full-time Software Engineer to join our small, scrappy team of expert peers in our Toronto office. We're looking for a seasoned all-rounder to join our team... you must have solid experience building and shipping production software.
In 2015 we launched our first two products, and we're now working on expanding our content, data feeds, data visualizations, and automation. There's tons of challenging stuff to work on. We have great customer traction and are working with some of the world's top brands. The team is a truly decent bunch of human beings. The founders have all had successful startup exits. The company is founder- and angel-funded. We're taking on outside investment and scaling up like crazy to meet customer demand.
Some specifics about the work:
* Form factors range from large touch-sensitive screens and digital TV's to mobile devices and desktops * We ingest data from many different sources including leading social networks and data providers * The tech stack is Clojure, ClojureScript, Python, Datomic, Postgres, Ubuntu, and embedded hardware * We have a gong which we ring to celebrate all the things that need celebrating * We greatly value can-do attitude, desire to learn, and pride in craft

DIVE Networks | Toronto, ON | Full Time | Local | UX Designer & Senior Software Engineer
DIVE uses Clojure to visualize brand data for marketers. Think "a 24 hour news channel for brands" -- like Bloomberg News, but for marketers instead of stock traders.
We are hiring a User Experience designer and Software Engineer. These are full-time positions in a small, scrappy team of expert peers. Both roles are local, in our Toronto office.
Our v1 product launched at CES 2015 and has great customer traction. The team is a truly decent bunch of human beings. The founders have all had successful startup exits. We're founder- and angel-funded. You'd be joining at a time when we're just taking on our first round of outside investment and scaling up like crazy to meet customer demand.
Things that make this opportunity unique:
* We visualize complex data in simple, "glanceable" formats. Form factors range from large touch-sensitive screens and digital TV's to mobile devices and desktops. Huge design and implementation challenge. * Our platform ingests data from many different sources. We have great data partnerships with Google and other leading platform companies. * The tech stack is Clojure, ClojureScript, Datomic, Ubuntu, and embedded hardware * We have a gong which we ring to celebrate all the things that need celebrating
