I have always wanted the room in which I work to resemble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NwD7VjxZ_A but never had the time or green thumb.

This simple 1 page guide is a good way to start a new year resolution to making the room more green.

An astute family member got me some ferns for Christmas, I feel it is the start of something similar!

Man does Notion chug on large header images... it's not only me, right?

Definitely the Dracaena trifasciata (snake plant, mother-in-law-tongue). The only way to kill it is with over watering. Once a month is plenty. They have been discovered in closets still thriving after months in the dark. Green, alive and near zero maintenance. This is your plant...

What stupid, idiotic developers they have.

Only the top 200 pixels of that photo are used on the page, yet they load this 4.5MB monstrosity: https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1518531933037-91b2f5f229cc...

I mean, it's not hard to write code to crop the photo and only send the necessary portion over the wire.

I should send Notion a bill for the four unnecessary megabytes.

Not to mention 2MB of javascript :O

WTF?

To be fair, their desktop app doesn't struggle at all. I'm not sure exactly why this is performing so poorly.

She’s delightful but how on earth is her apartment not filled to the brim with bugs?

What’s the hardiest edible plant? I love the whole indoor plant idea but want to be practical too.

+1 for Pothos. They're pretty much impossible to mess up, and they're also easy to propagate from cuttings! So you can eventually turn one plant into many.
