    As long as this isn’t about all ‘non-warfighters’, this might be a good thing. My Dad served for over 30 years in the Royal Air Force, retiring as an Air Vice Marshal (USAF 2* Gene…

    The FlightRadar24 app has had this feature for quite some time. I like your implementation though - it’s very easy on the eye.

    Hindsight’s 20:20. Why the snark? There’s a lot to like about the App Store experience from a user perspective (I am not a developer).

    Links don’t work for me and nor does searching GH for DocuDeeper. I’d love to try this - if I can get to it!

    Question: if dopamine is the answer, what’s the second-order solution the brain is after?

    I have a new respect for Conan O’Brien seeing how he found humour in / dealt with his parents deaths so close together. Inspiring and deliciously, subversively funny! Thanks for sh…

    Came here to say this. Raindrop is great, with all the features most will ever need, and really nice well thought-out browser extensions.
