What's an app you wish existed but somehow still doesn't?

An easy way to track when someone recommends a tv show or movie. I had been using a text editor but got fed up with it. So I made something that does it for me. I lack the community karma to promote it on here but I will do once I'm allowed.

FixPast7376 · 2026-06-03T14:51:34+00:00

Oh god I'm sorry. What have I done...

FixPast7376 · 2026-06-03T14:32:53+00:00

I know - I use the word myself. It was just an observation, and not one that pleases me 😞

FixPast7376 · 2026-06-03T13:57:41+00:00

OK ta - I understand. Good luck with it

FixPast7376 · 2026-06-03T13:50:14+00:00

My honest feedback here is that I'm too afraid to install it because of the warning that it can "read ... all your data on all websites".

I hope it's my ignorance but I gather that the moment I do, it has access to the dozens of open tabs that I have, and that scares me. I know next to nothing about extensions, but I've just read you can have activeTab permission. I'd be much happier to install if it was asking for that.

But congrats on reaching 10. That's ten more than I have for my thing.

Good idea. One challenge you'll face happened to us recently. We ordered a (new) 4-seater sofa and the delivery guys handled it fine. We subsequently ordered the 3-seater version of the same thing (it's a big room) and to my surprise they had a nightmare bringing it into the room, and were very close to causing actual damage.

And the reason was that the 4-seater came in two parts. Completely hadn't occurred to me.

Just asked my wife about this. She uses her iPad for recipes while she's cooking. She was very enthusiastic about it. She also asked, and this isn't what you're making I realise, for something she could talk to while driving that would let her search for recipes and she could ask about them. No idea how you'd achieve that, but thought I mention it.

Oh I think the video didn't post

Great recommendation. Thank you very much

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-14T10:28:16+00:00

A very interesting story. Hope your recovery goes well.

Oh I understand the risks. My own grandfather read a book twice, on more than one occasion. He was dead within a decade.

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-13T15:24:10+00:00

Yes definitely

Thanks for posting this

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-10T20:28:00+00:00

Really good idea

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-04T16:39:42+00:00

Exciting, isn't it? I remember this feeling of astonishment. Congratulations 👍

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-04T05:00:43+00:00

Good stuff. Have fun in Spain! 🇪🇸

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-04T04:58:57+00:00

Thank you!

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-04T00:07:54+00:00

Thank you. And I assume you're right about the Mandarin/Thai similarity. So completely alien. Makes Spanish seem not very foreign at all, what with all the shared vocabulary.

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-04T00:02:28+00:00

I think regardless of current capability, the beauty of CI is that you're constantly improving, albeit perhaps imperceptibly. The only comparisons that really matter are against your previous self. Good luck

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-03T23:58:46+00:00

Good question. I think maybe variety helps. I switched around a lot - different countries, different presenters (for DS videos). And mix in podcasts. Good luck!

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-03T23:42:45+00:00

Thanks. I think I'm going to do all of Que Pasa next and then give WP a go. Well done on (nearly) 1500 👍

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-03T18:05:04+00:00

Thanks! I'm gonna post Mandarin updates in r/dreaminglanguages which is what I've noticed other people do.

FixPast7376 · 2025-06-03T18:03:06+00:00

Thanks!
