What's the file format? I hope the best for your app, but I hope I can still use those files if something happens to the company. I converted to .txt files 10 years ago for everything todo, but wouldn't mind a specialized utility for it!


We use a proprietary sync engine, so there isn't some known file format you can edit. I totally understand your objection to this!

We do, however, store the data locally in a sqlite database (~/Library/Godspeed/godspeed-db.sqlite). You shouldn't directly edit it or things won't sync properly, but you can use it to easily read your tasks if you'd like!


It'd be awesome if you can emit/ingest Markdown. That way, Todo can act as a different frontend to what essentially amounts to a bunch of files that I can then view via a different app.


And then you'd rather just write a plug-in for Obsidian?


That file (and entire directory) doesn't seem to exist on my system


Oh gosh, sorry, I got the path wrong... it's ~/Library/Application Support/Godspeed

Thanks for pointing this out to me, I got this wrong in a couple other places here too!


I'm curious as well – if there was a SQLite file somewhere that I could read from to hook up e.g. an Alfred plugin or whatever, that would be valuable.


There is indeed a sqlite file! ~/Library/Godspeed/godspeed-db.sqlite. But you shouldn't edit it or things won't sync properly. Feel free to read, though!


If I have todo items that are 10 years old it’s a sign I don’t really care about them.

For (PKM) notes it’s a whole different story.


The National Science Board (Board, NSB) is required under the National Science Foundation (NSF) Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1863 (j) (1) to prepare the biennial Science and Engineering Indicators (Indicators) report for and transmit it to the president and Congress every even-numbered year. The report is prepared by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within NSF under the guidance of the Board.


Happy shortcut.com user here, used pivotal for years previously. I use it for my small engineering team.


Great UI. I thought originally the comments here about the UI were about the Times site. Ha! Seemed like a tough crowd!


Nonprofits pay with purpose as much as cash. You can work on a widget or do something meaningful with your life.


by working on stuff that helps people make widgets.


Not sure why peripheral vision UIs never took off for cars. It solves the safety issue of taking your eyes off the road with while still enjoying the benefits of a touch screen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sT33BPUQaHg&feature=youtu.be


Yes


Has gems like "Balloon Flying Handbook", "Instrument Flying Handbook", "Glider Flying Handbook" and many more.


lost me with text set in cyan


I have a slight color deficiency, so the sample formula and paragraph are a bit hard to read for me, especially the paragraph. Up to 8% of male adults suffer from this, at various levels, so I'm surprised the authors did not mention this problem.

Another point is that their choice of colors seems to mix various luminosity levels. So I suppose that, even for someone without color blindness, some colored texts are are much more visible than others. I doubt this hierarchy was intended.


Don’t Make Me Think, by Steve Krug. I used it for years as a required text in pretty much every UX related class I taught. Entertaining, super digestable and very nutritious.


I expected to see this one or "The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman. I don't know a designer who hasn't read one or both.


It taught me to smile whenever I see a door or use a faucet. One of the great gems that I picked up on a complete whim.

This "Don't Make me Think" which the parent suggested and "About Face: The Essentials of Interaction Design" are my "UXy" books on the shelve.


I'm not a designer, but I found TDoET immensely helpful in terms of designing software interfaces, be it APIs or GUIs.

It really teaches a few simple concepts that apply in wide ranging areas.
