What wrong directions you're referring to?


Design über alles? Form over function? Butterfly keyboard? Jobs may not be in my list of favourite people but i think he had a good sense what works.


Hey, could you add support for cryptocurrency in investments? So that I could enter how much I have in cryptocurrency instead of $USD, and it would automatically calculate it to $.


Wouldn't that be a real crapshoot anyway, if you're thinking in the timeframes relevant for financial independence? Surely you're not expecting your crypto portfolio to predictably appreciate by 6-8% per year over a 10 year timeframe with large variance.

The potential for going much higher and going down by 90% is in a different league.


For now I tend to agree with marvin here, but I may add something for this eventually. If you already know of some good APIs for grabbing the latest conversion rates, let me know. I want ProjectiFi to feel like it can quickly model most of your what-if scenarios, so support for different asset classes might make sense here, along with customizable growth rates over time (e.g. perhaps the same kind of interactive plot like the stock/bond allocation widget but for playing around with different potential crypto growth rates or something).


How Linux is more productive than Mac? I think it's true only if you use a lot of customization, like a custom shortcut to switch to a specific app/virtual desktop, and do some stuff. That would be extremely time-consuming but also really cool. I'm thrilled to try but with how prone I'm to falling into rabbit holes I'm really scared how much time it could consume. I already spent too much time on creating my own fork of Colemak and a lot of custom shortcuts with Karabiner elements.


Hey, could you invite me to Mem beta-testing? It looks very interesting. I'm using Roam currently, from what I know Obsidian isn't very different from Roam. lepa.sso017@gmail.com
