> Currently an alpha is available in their Discord server. I'm not the creator, if you have any questions about the program feel free to join the Discord server. This feels sketchy. I've never seen software distributed this way. Why not just provide a download link if the effort has already been made for the website with videos.

I've seen it a bunch of times, mainly from people closer to gaming/gamedev (considering the site is from handmade.network, even if not official, it is very tangentially related to Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero series).

I think it is the modern version of "to download the latest version visit our forum at XYZ" in an attempt to build some sort of community around a project.

I'm still waiting for a todo tool that does todos how I do them. Each todo item has a TTL of 1 week, after that, it gets moved to the "never done" list if I don't update it before then.

After a few years of doing things this way, and explaining it to my bosses over time, they come to understand that if you give me too many things to do at once, only the highest priority things will ever get done.

Recent macOS outliner alternative: Bike https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31409077 I've played around with it and found it pleasant to use

For someone who needs to add visuals and deals with more messy content in general, Bear.app is still the best native Mac/iOS solution.

That kinda of a symptom of a work culture that can only deal with crisis's and doesn't value steady strategic effort.

I'm fairly confident you could hack org-mode in Emacs to do this with a couple of lines of elisp.

That’s basically how I do it now.
