@MonaApp I made a theme based on this Dracula color scheme. I use this color scheme for coding, slack, and now Mona!

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t work all the time on nights and weekends. Here’s some advice if you do the same:

Whatever you do, don’t email or slack people on the weekends or late in the evening. You can schedule these to show up the next day, or Monday morning. For task management tools, like Jira and Asana, you can reply or create new tasks by email, and schedule those emails.

There are obviously exceptions, but try to avoid making anyone think about work when they’re not being paid.

A trick I learned (I think from @film_girl) a while ago is that if you create `~/Developer`, you get a cool sidebar icon in Finder. That's where all my code goes now.
@glyph @briankrebs I also wish infosec/systems/app engineers would take into account population age. My 88 yr old mother in law struggles with password use let alone 2FA. I’ve now got her using a password manager, but she still uses the same 4 different passwords for everything. I’ve never suggested 2FA to her because I know she will not understand the process, nor how to follow it.
@kboyd the more I use Obsidian, the more I love it. Lots of great content for developing workflows too.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

If you are at a place where you see your past mistakes, it’s a sign of growth. No need to give your past self a hard time about it.

@birchtree facepalm moment. Boone should have been no one.
I was very wrong and @ivory does have Timeline Sync (figured out the name), but theirs doesn’t seem to work between my phone and tablet.

@birchtree has Boone mentioned SetApp yet? Lots of great tools in one annual fee. TablePlus, BarTender, BetterTouch Took, CleanShotX, CleanMyMac, Meeter, Sip, MindNode, iStat Menus, and Forecast Bar are all on my daily or near daily use list. There are plenty more that I use frequently as well.

I can pass along a referral code if anyone is interested, just PM me.

Mastodon question for #mastheads
What is the app feature where apps remember where I am in the timeline? @icecubesapp and Mastoot @libei have this, but it doesn’t seem like @ivory does. Are there implementations that hold my position across my iPhone, iPad, and Mac?
