Also evaluating chatgpt, it's actually pretty good at some tasks.
Logseq, it's open source but i donate for it. Just mind blowing, brought me away from notion. When my wife asks "where did you put..." i check my #location tag. Same for food recipes, or how tall my daughter was 2 months ago, and so on.
Todoist. My wife and I can share lists, assign tasks, track completion, all sorts of stuff. It’s not perfect, but I’m really mostly happy with it. Also, setting up an iCloud family. Most of the sharing stuff we can do can be done without being in a family unit, but it makes it that much easier since it makes assumptions about who I wish to share with. From there, native Notes, Calendar, all that stuff has made our li…
It's been great until this week when I hit their ridiculously low limit: 300. That's not many tasks/notes, especially as each sub task is counted individually too.
Why is it so low? I'm a paying user. I'm probably burdening their servers with all of 10kB of text! It's such a gut punch, it makes me regret paying for it a little, just because of how petty and hostile it comes across and because of how needlessly disruptive it is to my usage.
If anyone from Todoist happens to see this, please bump that up by an order of magnitude or two. For premium users, at least. It's awful. It breaks your product for me.

I’m sad they rewrote it for the web and made an inferior, subscription-based product.
The installers for YNAB4 have since been removed from the official YNAB site, but you can still get them on Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20190122064610/https://classic.y...

> I imagine mentors and services like Kumon are popular with this crowd? Not in my bubble at least.
How do you make sure that your children will go to a top university then?
But also my 12 year old daughter is working on publishing her first iOS app on her own initiative. I’m sure they’ll do fine.
- Syncthing, Restic, Backblaze B2: Syncs photos and other files from devices to a NAS, then Restic to create backups locally and on Backblaze B2. For the in-laws and others, I make sure they're backed up using Google Photos or Apple iCloud
- Jellyfin: Streaming our own movies and shows.
- Tailscale: Connect to the home network from anywhere
- Caddy server: Reverse proxy in front of the services like Jellyfin
- Paperless-NGX: Document repository that's hooked up to the scanner and email accounts to keep things organized.
There's a few other ones that get some use, but we use the above almost daily.
1password team account since it was cheaper when I signed up.
We don't bother with shared a calendar anymore, we kept missing events, so we just send invites to each other.
Occasionally we'll have a shared apple note but that process is painful to get setup! Still looking into a good solution for notes tbh Evernote would have been perfect but I've lost trust in them tbh

Was that sarcasm? I’m vastly more concerned that my kids lead fulfilling, happy lives than that they get into a top tier university. Or university at all, for that matter. But also my 12 year old daughter is working on publishing her first iOS app on her own initiative. I’m sure they’ll do fine.
We all (family of 4) have iPhones and use FindMy to see where everyone is and when they’re going to be home to time dinner. We also have a family chat on iMessage that really comes in handy.
So you are using FM not as an emergency tool, but generally? Does that mean in your family everyone (potentially) always knows where everyone else is? Is there a rule for when/if it's appropriate to turn FM off? Please don't read this as me judging; if that works for you, great, I'd (as far as i understand it) not want that, but it's not my life.
For us, it’s a fun way to see what each other is up to. The reason our grown and out-of-the-house kids leave it turned on is that we’ve never, not once, used it as a spy device.
