I am working on a personal finance app so take my response with a grain of salt.My goals are pretty similar to yours and the app I build more or less checks all of these boxes:To see trends over time on category spend, expenses, income, net worth ✅Integrates via Plaid to all banks ✅ (though some banks are still unavailable as it takes time for them to approve you)Doesn't sell my data to credit...
What's the best personal finance app?

Have you had success with guerrilla marketing?
I'm learning (slowly) about the importance of marketing your product. (I am probably one of todays 10,000 around guerrilla marketing)So last night I hacked together https://purposefulpoop.com/ to see if it could drive some leads for my product. I'm going to launch the playful tool next monday and use this thread to give a plot synopsis on how it all goes. Prior to launch though, I'm curious if...

A feature that would be nice (that i do manually) is "prune" dead cells. i.e I deployed the project, but there are 20 cells that I was experimenting with and ultimately didn't use. It would be nice to be able to prune those.

@Moonlander to be honest! I've had it for years, but this year i finally realized just how much better it is to write code with the posture that a split keyboard provides. It's pretty hard for me to work on my regular mac keyboard now that i'm this acclimated!

I have a note on my phone where i record some weights / reps with a shorthand i came up with years ago. I use it from time to time, but it's all pretty ad hoc. gets the job done for me :)

Very interesting. thanks for the transparency. I would consider that pretty solid, but im not sure how high intent your traffic normally is. do you normally do better than .5% conversion on your landing page? Do you have a preexisting "outreach" mechanism, or did you just silently launch with no real activation? congrats for launching either way!

Img import that breaks down the image.
I would love to be able to do this:-take a screen shot of a page (check)-paste it into figma (check)-click a button that makes "components" out of the obvious things on the page, like buttons, text, etc. -do some editing of the text, change some colors, etc. is there a plugin or a setting i'm missing that makes this easy? I haven't found anything with some cursory searching. I am a total figma...

This is cool! i'm a moonlander user, but i'm finding my switches are a bit more resistant than I currently want. Are the magnetic switches available as a standalone? I'm not prepared to give up the current form factor, as the split is a noticeable tendonitis reliever for me personally. Also wish I had seen this sooner, was just looking for a vert mouse. wound up going with an MX, but I like the...

I personally use @Trello for my "life" board. this has oil changes for my car, reminders to handle something for my mom, etc. basically something i wont do in the next 24 hours but is a discrete task.for my personally projects, I put a readme or todo file in the code itself, then just add / remove items there as I ship the features:At $day_job I send messages in my "chat with myself" in slack...

what are the standard ways for tracking vo2? I used to use the "nose breathing threshold" to partition my workouts into aerobic capacity (which i learned in Training for the New Alpinism: A Manual for the Climber as Athlete), but i'm not really sure if thats the same metric. maybe a better question is, how does VO2 info inform your workouts beyond a tautology of "you should be working out more"
Why you should be tracking your VO2 max - and how to do it better

https://ladybird.org/ladybird is also pretty hot right now! I have no real experience with any of these beyond chrome and firefox, which more or less just feel like a choice of personal dogma. the arc security blunder would personally give me a lot of pause about using it. Honestly, I hadn't ever heard of horse, but it seems interesting. chromium based, which means extensions should more or...

how have you thought about pivoting as a company? It seems like graphite started as a PR stacking tool, but now is maybe firmly (or maybe not?) into the AI code review space. was the cli a wedge to get into the space, or were you finding that the growth potential is just much more promising in the "outer loop" you mentioned?
