  • I use it for all the reasons you’ve mentioned. I especially write down recommendations, ideas, thoughts that felt worth noticing, anything I think I’m going to forget that doesn’t go on my calendar or somewhere else, and braindumping/processing my feelings.

    I use an app called Logseq, because it combines the things I wanted from some of the other main apps in one place, which none of the other apps manage to do all of:

    • Outliner structure like Notion or Roam or Workflowy lets you have (my brain requires this format when taking notes)
    • Super fast page linking search, which Notion kinda sucks at but others are better at
    • Data is stored on my computer, like Obsidian; not in the cloud. It’s stored as markdown (ish) by default.
    • Automatic daily page created for each day, like Roam
    • Mobile app is almost 1-1 feature parity with the desktop app, like Notion
    • Open source (mostly)

    Logseq does have a moderate amount of rough edges, and has been frustrating from an open source perspective at times (I’ve had PRs linger for over a year before just getting rejected because they didn’t want to bother with it), but it’s still the one I like the most.

    FYI though syncing between devices with it is still pretty shaky. They have a native sync for $5/mo that is getting reasonably good, and is in beta. Syncing files via other means is kinda risky/not-great UX.









  • From the same people as FTL, Into The Breach is one of the only games I consider a “perfect game” — there is almost nothing about it that could be improved without it just being a different game. I 100%'ed that game 1.5 times and it’s absolutely amazing.

    It’s a turn-based tactics game with absolutely perfect interface (the way they went about its design is a whole interesting thing in itself); like chess but you only need to think 1.5 moves into the future.
