Generally like how simple the app is, but as an Aussie, I find starting the week on a Sunday off-putting.

When I open the web version of the calendar picker, it's showing Monday as the irst day of the week? Btw, I didn't realize vast majority of the world outside Americas have week starting on Monday.

I've switched my calendar to start on Monday (as a USAian) because I prefer to not have my weekends split across two different rows. This became especially important as my kid's activities would fill our weekend and needing to ensure nothing else of importance was missed in planning out our upcoming week(s).

I downloaded it and tried it and I'm not super interested in it. I've tried a number of different task/to do tools over time. What's working for me now is the following Google Doc that works as follows. If today is 4/10/22: 4/10/22 >Write Article >Go Shopping * Milk * Cereal >Pay Plumber If I only paid the plumber that day and bought cereal, on the next day you'd have: 4/10/22 >Pay Plumber >Go Shopping * Cereal 4/11/…

Mark Forster has a great version of this, lovingly called "the final version": https://archive.ph/Gts2v

Can anyone recommend a meal planning system? I would like to have a database of recipes that I like, with ingredients listed so I can plan weekly food shopping.

You might be interested in something like this that was posted a short while ago?

Grocy https://grocy.info/ does exactly this - it's a tracking system for groceries/grocery shopping/recipes and a few other things.

You enter what you have bought/eaten and it keeps track of what you have and when it will expire. You can also automatically build a shopping list to maintain a minimum set of essentials.

An additional part of it is the Recipes module, where you can enter recipes and what ingredients are needed, then see which recipes you already have the ingredients for and add any missing ingredients to your shopping list..

What application bundler is this using? Assuming electron, but the github repo only contains assets and translation so it's hard to tell.

Exactly what I wanted to know. There's no way I want to run another heavy weight Electron app.

same here!

Tangential ask HN: what is a good Linux desktop to do app that supports monthly recurring tasks (I have some accounting stuff that I need to remember to do every month). I’ll use for daily adhoc tasks too, but any app (or pencil and paper) can handle them.

Isn't that what calendars are for? Most of the time they are pre-installed on all OSes and they handle recurring schedules and notifications. On Linux I use Thunderbird for email with the Thunderbird Lightning Calendar [1]. I sync phone and desktop using CalDAV.

In my mind I put those reminders in the group of “things to do”. Just like I need to do whatever task of the day, I need to do that accounting tasks if the happens to be the first week of the month. So I like them to be in the same place.

Btw, I decided for Todoist. The recurring reminder is on the premium plan, but I am using a good enough process: I set the recurring tasks to have a deadline of, e.g. the 5th of next month. Then, when I get there, I will set the deadline for the next month and so on. And I grouped these tasks in a group named “Recurring”.
