I don’t gatekeep.
I have this as an app on my phone. It gamifies habits, chores and to-dos. It sounds silly, but it really has gotten me to regularly do those things I know I should do but can easily ignore (ie. daily stretches, oil changes, reading, personal projects, blog post writing…)
I’ve also started to use it as a personal task-tracker. I’ve played with using trello in the past, and while I’m not quite ready to give it up completely just yet, habitica does seem more effective at getting me to actually do things.
Amazon has an official “send to kindle” browser plugin (Chrome) that allows you to send any web page to your kindle. I find this useful for certain long blogs or news articles I come across during the day but don’t have time to spend reading it at that time. In the past, those articles would end up in a tab in a chrome session somewhere and usually forgotten about and shamefully closed a few weeks (or months) later. Since adding a daily ‘read on kindle’ task using Habitica, having the option to just send these articles to another device for a dedicated ‘later’ time has been handy and convenient.
Bubbletea is a go based “terminal UI” that makes creating/using terminal apps a real joy. I’ll create a dedicated post on my findings in the future, but it’s such a neat framework.
Turns your terminal into a gif. Handy for quick demos, show-n-tells and for jazzing up your README. While playing around with bubbletea, I noticed a lot of demo-gifs in their README’s and it was so nice. Now, I can’t say for absolute certainty that the bubbletea creators used terminalizer, but they most certainly used something similar! As a visual-learner, I find these short little GIF’s communicate so much more information that a paragraph or two.
It’s real easy to use. After installation, it’s a quick:
% terminalizer record demo
% # Run your demo
% # ctrl+d out of demo
% terminalizer render demo
