Hey! Author of the post here. I noticed a tiny bit of traffic to this post from HN and just wanted to say thanks for sharing :)

Two that I use pretty frequently: 1. https://shopmath.app - I got tired of converting decimal to fraction for woodworking/renovations, and I wanted to round calculations to the nea…

As a fellow iTerm2 to Wezterm convert this hit home. There’s loads of useful stuff in here, too! Thanks for the write up. I particularly like the projects setup. I built Weztermoci…

Yeah, that sounds like a wild shift! In my teens I used to be nocturnal and loved the quiet. Nocturnal living definitely takes its toll though. The body needs sunlight. I hope you'…

That's fair! Love that take. It's what my partner does and it works wonders for her.

I'm glad that works for you! Unfortunately, that wasn't enough for me and still led to some pretty groggy/brain-foggy days. Hence the "optimization" to understand which levers to t…

Hey HN, I'd love to hear from others about their sleep hygiene. I'm mostly curious to hear how people are tackling sleep hygiene to see if there are other things I could add to my …

Cool idea! My friends and I have chatted about building something similar, though with a coaching focus. Specifically for use with spray walls/kilterboards/etc. It could be interes…

This _probably_ counts? I moved from iTerm2 -> Wezterm and missed itermocil. So, I wrote a replacement specifically for Wezterm called weztermocil. https://github.com/alexcaza/wezt…

Yeah, exactly. Their whole thing is to get ~30 days ahead, too. I think 60–90 days would be a better hook and almost guarantee an "ah ha" moment. Everyone I've spoken to that's had…

Nice write-up! This is a great example of throwing out "best practices" and being truly user/product-centred. Even down to your trial strategy. It reminds me of YNAB's trial[^1] st…

Hey HN, I created Weztermocil after switching to Wezterm from iTerm2 and greatly missed iTermocil. It was built to be as backwards compatible with iTermocil—and its inspiration Tea…

I haven't used them heavily, but when I was doing user-research for a small startup, I needed to get timestamped links from Google Drive videos to add to interview notes. It was a …

It's the same in Canada (Montreal, specifically)—if not worse. It's getting better, but oh man, the amount of "gluten friendly" restaurants dripping in cross contamination is horri…

This isn't exactly true. The blood test and biopsy can _sometimes_ find celiac disease, but it _cannot_ diagnose gluten intolerance/sensitivity. If you have an intolerance or sensi…

I developed a panic disorder over the pandemic. Did all the things—meditation, therapy, vitamins, minerals and medication, in that order. All of them took more and more of the edge…
