Perhaps for readers here, this would be often repeated advice, but I found it inspiring as a middle aged woman and also know in my bones that any version of it would help my mother immensely break her life patterns when they aren't serving her any longer. For people in mid-age and older, when they're at the stage where they've spend half their lives arranging and rearranging the world and its offerings in an altar of comfort and familiarity, this is a terrifying (and thereby exhilarating) thought. At the age of 23, ofcourse life seems improbable. At the age of 63, you don't even want to knock at an improbable door. Loved reading it and also got my mind blown at this fact: When you shuffle a deck of 52 cards the order of those cards will never be repeated again in the history of the universe, no matter how fast you shuffle.

I'll look into this. Currently, I am trying hard to get to more bookstores to own up their own pages and add their data themselves.

Hello HN! Less than a month ago, as we started hearing about city's bookstores closing down - a small community got together to list their city's bookstores and ways to help them.

It resulted in detailing their gift cards, ways to order through them and if you couldn't order anything - a way to increase their social media following.

I took the spreadsheet and a friend proficient in Glide apps, converted it to an app.

This app now has listings of 800 bookstores in 21 countries. I am looking for feedback on how to improve the app, what elements would you add to it and what information is redundant for you?
