🌈 I like to write about stuff! 🌈

@simonmic Great to hear! I'm excited to make this as stable and reliable as possible :D I'm indeed using `hledger` directly to parse data; I'll jump on the open issues asap πŸš€

I've been using #hledger from @simonmic for a few years, and it's been better than any other personal finance tool I've tried ☺️

The only thing I've been missing was various plots and charts, and I wasn't quite happy with any of the existing tools.

So I developed my own viewing UI for my HLedger journal; it's a read-only window on your finances showing a series of plots in a nice TUI - and it can also be hosted on a server!

Try it out! ✨

I've heard the "light mode vs dark mode" debate for ages; so much that I decided to write something about it!

What are your thoughts on it? πŸ’­

Does it come down to personal preference, or is there a "correct" choice?

What do Observability, group chats, and ICUs have in common? πŸ€”

Notification overload! Read my new post to learn more about it, and let me know your thoughts!

How many notifications are too many? | Duckling Dev

Humans aren't made to handle the amount of notifications we receive nowadays. What's the real issue and how can you prevent it?

@kepano it's somewhat sad; it feels like we ended up in this situation from good intentions, starting in a time where data was not a lot and the technology to process big amounts wasn't there yet

Could this be a reason why explaining the importance of privacy and data ownership to non-technical people is hard? Or do we need to better communicate why people should care?

@anders @drdoewie As promised 🌈

I highly encourage you to try out the custom status for tasks, it can be extremely useful!

Using Kanban Boards and Tasks

Whenever I start a personal project (and believe, that happens a lot) I find it extremely useful to break it down into tasks; additionally, as any software person will know, Kanban Boards are great tools to track the status of tasks.

Personal project can be tough to manage; #obsidian can make it easier with Tasks and Kanban boards:

Using Kanban Boards and Tasks in Obsidian | Duckling Dev

I tried to use both these plugins and combine their features: this is what I've learned from it.

@imrehg @maker_tom I'll point out that even though neither is OSS, Notion stores your notes online and in proprietary format; Obsidian uses plain-text (no vendor lock in) and has a big and growing community of users developing plugins for it, with those being open source :)

Not sure if it either fits your use case though 🀷

@anders @drdoewie Not really, but I'll write something up tomorrow and ping you if you'd like!
@anders @drdoewie This way you can use the Kanban Board but still access the tasks from elsewhere! πŸŽ‰
