@amoroso I appreciated this post. I've been seeing it reposted in so many different places. It created quite the buzz.

I was however pretty baffled at the time estimates he gave. Reminds me of how many blogs use read time as a metric, a metric which then ends up being so utterly useless due to the differences between one reader another. This piece would've been just as good without them, if I say so myself.

@chipotle I'm still reading through the article, but something about Nova's task system caught my eye.

If you want something comparable, consider building your own Transient menus for modes that would benefit from them.

You can build a graphical menu (just like those you use to navigate in Magit) to run tasks specific to a particular mode (or the global context).

I have a global menu to manage my emails, journal, notes, blog posts and my own homemade to-do system. The same menu also allows me to jump straight into my news feed and podcasts.

@chipotle FYI to the author: Visual Studio Code is not a product of Google:

"What about Visual Studio Code? ... But the more you dig into it, the more it’s clear it’s open source the way Google products are"

I think you know this already though, so the Google reference is likely a typo, seeing as you nailed everything about Visual Studio Code's supposed openness.
