    That's a great idea. If it gets no traction, I'll be in touch. If it does, I might still ask you for some help... If we had access to the same question being asked at different tim…

    Show HN: A living wall of life goals and deathbed regrets

    Answer the question "Before I die, I want to..." and post it to the wall. I built this as part of a journaling app I’m working on as a side project. Personally I find life goals fa…

    Are you in the UK by any chance? Sounds just like my old commute before I started working from home, and my partner’s current one

    I just received two emails from renewals@namecheap.com claiming to be from MetaMask, asking me to complete KYC verification. My first thought was “I guess MetaMask are trying to mo…

    When inflation hit 10% in the UK last month my employer brought forward the annual January pay increase. We all got a 5% bump. Last year it was 1%. Edit: I work in the education se…

    This sounds a lot like how I work too. If I have to open a bunch of tabs it’s usually temporary and I’ll want to get rid of them again at the earliest opportunity.

    One of the best purchases I ever made was about 8 years ago when I bought the Polytune iOS app for less than £5. It does one thing really well, has never tried to take more of my a…
