I've spent some time to find a way to turn my twitter timeline into an RSS feed. It seemed like a lot of work to me. Which approach do you favor?

It's relatively easy find solutions to produce RSS feeds from individual twitter users, but I'd like to read my whole timeline in the RSS reader. There's one tool called [twitter-to-rss](https://github.com/ankitshekhawat/twitter-to-rss), but I haven't tried it and it might be outdated.


I think it's fine to have more checks for "normal" users, but I'd like to see a better UI for experienced users.

Either there could be a pro-mode app/setting that let's use tone down the warnings a bit and give the extra "allow" option already in the first dialog.

And/or let app developers add an extra dialog to ask for ermissions on install (e.g. in Homebrew).

I haven't tested this but apparently you can disable Gatekeeper completely using:

sudo spctl --master-disable

Atlassian's own hosted version was often very sluggish for me too, although granted that the self-hosted version were a bit worse...


I wish there was also an iOS version, that I could also access my notes from there.


There is. It’s called Beorg. It’s fantastic.

It is indeed, but within the context of this overall discussion, note that BeOrg doesn’t support SyncThing.

There isn’t an alternative for that particular user case without dual-syncing with another sync provider. Best I can tell, there are zero iOS apps of any kind with SyncThing support.

You can (and I have) configure SyncThing to track and sync changes within the iCloud app directory corresponding to BeOrg. It definitely feels janky and I worry about file corruption.


There's no (working) iOS SyncThing app, unfortunately: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/ios-iphone-crowdfunding-on-bou...


Would this help?

Great idea, I've signed up already.

I have a pretty obvious feature request: I'd like to be able to pace weekly mails to a specific day of the week. I receive a couple of interesting newsletters, but they tend to arrive distributed all over the week and I'd prefer to receive them all for the weekend, i.e. Friday night.

So extending your original idea one could add more specific terms in your subdomain hierarchy. I.e. 19.friday.weekly.paced.email or 7pm.friday.weekly.paced.email.

I assume you should record the user's timezone on sign-up maybe? Or encode it too in a subdomain. I'm not sure which would be more consistent/simple idea...

I've you'd like to implement full cron schedules I'd assume you'd have to replace the wildcard * symbol somehow, but that seems more like an advanced/geek future and would have less appeal for mainstream users.


Hey kossmoboleat, thanks for signing up. I just found your reply. Not sure if you'll see this, but I do have some features on the horizon to accomplish this.

As you suggested, I will be allowing users to add their time zone and then a bit of UI for you to select day/hour for each of the periods supported. This is going to be pretty much next on the roadmap.

Some of the advice from David Graeber's book "Bullshit Jobs" seems appropriate. Although you seem to still fulfill a useful function at Google, I found myself using some of the same strategies too.

Being conscious of the demotivating aspects of a job that has too low expectations is described very well in this book.

It mentions the German plants are closing, but the plan is to do this in 2038...


I think it's quite reasonable. My bike is my only vehicle and I don't own a car. It's actually the fastest way to commute in my larger city in Germany.

On the other hand I find it incomprehensible how someone would spent more than 10K for a car that for me seems to offer only very marginal advantages day-to-day. For vacations cars are nice, but then I can just rent one or go by train/plane too.


5 year warranty on bike frames is pretty standard. I've shopped around after my aluminium frame broke after 6 years and nearly all manufacturers offered 5 years.
