Hindsight - Time Tracker - How long has it been since...? | Product Hunt

Hindsight keeps you informed about the time that has elapsed since life's events. Whether they're daily routines or once-in-a-lifetime milestones, it puts the answers to "How long has it been?" right at your fingertips.

What's your @overcastfm workflow? I feel like the way I use the app is not how it's intended to be used.

I’ve been reluctant to try ChatGPT. Today I got over that reluctance. Now I understand why I was reluctant.

The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x. I need to recalibrate.

Does Core Data with CloudKit actually work for syncing between iOS and watchOS? I haven’t found any evidence that it does. #iosdev #watchosdev #coredata #cloudkit
