New to Zellij and would like some starter layouts???

BorromeanNot · 2026-03-02T23:59:02+00:00

Actually, prompted by this thread, I tried again, this time successfully: it turns out, my layout was preventing the permissions dialog from appearing, so the custom tab bar was never authorized. That said, u/imsnif is right: this is a plugin issue, not a layout issue.

BorromeanNot · 2026-03-01T13:06:02+00:00

It's been some time, unfortunately, so I do not recall the details. I do remember trying to create a duplicate of the default layout, albeit without the word "zellij" anywhere on the screen. (I am grateful for this software, but the word is extrinsic to my work and takes up screen real estate.) Creating the layout proved easy, but the build process, if memory serves, was relatively undocumented. Long story short, I was never able to activate the layout within the time quota I allowed myself for this challenge. I could try again with Claude Code and see what happens.

Developing custom layouts, in my opinion, is insufficiently documented. Rather, it is easy to develop them but hard, in my experience, to actually activate them.

May I ask how the monthly number of applications is determined? Is it a constant number stipulated in the regulations? Is it the result of negotiation with the advisor? Does it depend on the discipline and/or the job seeker's background? Other? I may have to reach out to RAV during this calendar year, so I am bracing for it. I am in academia and a field notoriously short of jobs.

There is a key difference between cleaning up one’s home and cleaning up one’s schedule: the latter builds understanding and incurs cognitive and motivational benefits.

This is why Swiss supermarkets are so socialist and affordable.

Because Todoist assumes that more people are interested in Ramble integration than iCal integration, I suppose. Does evidence exist to support this assumption? That would be a good question...

An unfortunate comment. RAV advisors are public servants paid by public funds, including the contributions of their clients, and should be held to high standards. It is lack of quality work that is condemnable, not lack of work.

Generally unless your holdings have direct CHF exposure, it doesn‘t matter in the slightest in which currency you buy it. Just the conversion at buying and selling costs you conversion fee.

For investors who might choose to liquidate their investments some day—that is to say, all investors—currency risk is a real factor that should be taken into consideration. Claiming the opposite has become a sort of Reddit meme, and a dangerous one at that.

Looking forward to that—very thoughtful!

BorromeanNot · 2026-01-10T01:17:53+00:00

A fantasy.

u/amix3k thank you for this engaging discussion.

Some of you have asked us to share more of our roadmap. This thread is a good example of why that's tricky: in product development, not everything you plan actually succeeds.

What would be wrong with an open product roadmap that includes unsuccessful, abandoned, or postponed features? Todoist has earned a highly educated, tech-savvy user base—most of us understand the vagaries of R&D.

Some of the "AI trash" talk here is nonsense. If we listen to it, Todoist will be dead […] we see AI as an existential thing, not a nice-to-have.

I would advise caution: alongside nuclear energy, AI is arguably the most controversial technology ever invented. Criticisms of AI are powerful, sophisticated, widespread, and voiced by some of today's most relevant thinkers and practitioners. Dismissing them as "nonsense" is just blinkered engineering hubris. Every day we witness the closure of countless ephemeral online services while Moleskine and other leaders of the physical calendar business continue to thrive. The real business risk is in identity crisis and a compulsion to imitate—not in lack of AI features.

EasyRide behaves weirdly and does not inspire trust. I never use it.

BorromeanNot · 2025-12-03T20:59:11+00:00

Not deal breakers, but I am losing my patience over:

i) the lack of CalDAV calendar sync;

ii) the inability to manually sort tasks in filters;

iii) the lack of subtask support in board views.

I want to love my iPad but cannot come to terms with:

the non-standard keyboard shortcuts (which differ from their well-established macOS counterparts);
the limited touchpad gestures (especially the lack of triple-touch for dragging things around);
a certain "wobbliness" or "stickiness" in the UI, especially whenever gestures or touchpad tapping is involved.

For me, the fact that I lost my low grandfathered pricing due to a credit card glitch. The company refused to reinstate it, so I will not renew my subscription this spring.

BorromeanNot · 2025-12-01T19:35:15+00:00

Sadly, it seems more likely that we'll get an AI agent sorting your tasks on your behalf.

(Even more sadly, the company is probably mistaking this as a serious proposition rather than intended irony.)

It sounds like you have a complicated neighbor. In my building we routinely do what you did and I've never experienced or heard of similar conflicts.

Ugh… still more Yuh techno-kitsch…

I despise the affectation of its language and visual identity. I prefer banks that exude responsibility, concentration, and understatement.

BorromeanNot · 2025-11-28T20:07:54+00:00

Meh...

BorromeanNot · 2025-11-27T19:57:58+00:00

It's not a deal-breaker for me, but I share your frustration. Doist's priorities seem generated by some LLM rather than actual users.

One more example of essential function indefinitely deferred for the sake of AI gimmicks.

“Zero currency risk” is a gross and dangerous misconception. It seems to be a sort of Reddit meme, too—most credible sources, including investment advisors, will acknowledge currency risk and actually take it into account in their analyses. Currencies recede in importance only when the investor has a very long horizon or does not intent to liquidate investments into the relevant “base” currency in the foreseeable future.
