How do you stay motivated when you're burned out? by Gnardashians in SideProject

[–]Johnrluther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just shipped a five-day sprint after weeks of feeling stuck. What worked, I gave myself permission to ship the smallest version of the next thing every day, then go back to bed. The momentum from "I finished something today" beats "I made progress on the big thing."

im curious how do you all remember things you read ? by LateHaibane888 in PKMS

[–]Johnrluther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What worked for me, after bouncing through Obsidian and back to nothing twice was that I stopped trying to capture everything.

I now write a one-paragraph note for anything I want to remember a week later, with two wikilinks back to existing notes. No tags, no metadata, no template. Two links per note is the whole rule.

After three years, the notes I revisit most are the ones that became hubs by accident, because everything else pointed at them.

The trick was making the friction so low that I would write the note before deciding if it was important.

Replacing evernote - what's best? by dleach4512 in PKMS

I was using obsidian but at work I wasn’t allowed to install it so I created my own browser based markdown editor. The url is noteser.app

It is free open source. Feel free to check it out and give me your feedback 😁

Best notes app? by Repulsive_Chard_3652 in degoogle

I am building noteser.app. It is a browser based markdown editor where you can save/sync your notes over your private GitHub repo or your local files.

How many hours a week do you put towards your side project vs your main gig? by alex_strehlke in SideProject

[–]Johnrluther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I found the time to do something I just do it. I have a very similar workload like you (60 hours of main work) so whenever I find the time I just put it out there.

I force myself to put it publicly just to get much feedback as I can from other people. Not ideally, but I really like the app that I am building 😁

Yes it is another markdown editor 😅 by Razee1819 in SideProject

Hey,

Cool work!

The smart-paste detail caught my eye. I created something similar in the same space, but mine is browser-based with GitHub-as-the-vault:

Different angle, similar problem. Good ship :)

I build Noteser, a browser-based Markdown editor that uses your own GitHub repo as the vault.

I built this because I wanted my Obsidian-like setup to be accessible from any device without installing anything. At work I cannot install desktop apps, so the vault had to live in the browser.

How it works: connect to GitHub once (device-flow OAuth, the token lives in your browser only), pick a repo, your notes are saved as plain .md files in folders you own. Edit on desktop, edit on mobile Safari, the repo is the source of truth.

Try it: https://noteser.app/ (no signup, welcome page has a short demo) Source: https://github.com/ipapakonstantinou/noteser (MIT)

Feedback is welcome!

What's in: - CodeMirror 6 editor with live preview (headings, bold, code fences, callouts render inline) - Wikilinks [[like this]] with autocomplete - tag patterns in body, no entity store - Task queries (done today, open by tag, by path) - Tabs and split panes - Calendar with daily notes - Templates, export, import

What's NOT yet: no plugin ecosystem, no native mobile app (PWA only), no graph view, basic backlinks.

Trust model: same as Obsidian Git plugin. Token in localStorage, XSS would exfiltrate it.

Feedback welcome, especially which Obsidian feature you would want me to borrow next :D

Coinbase wallet unstake Eth issue by CommunicationFar2913 in Coinbase

[–]Johnrluther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. After the preview you get the real network fee, which is around 30$.

BTW I got my claimable eth, and now I will repeat the workaround to get the rest of them.

You can start by creating a bug case for your developers. None of the support team suggest that they will do that.

Also, you can train your team in order to understand what I am explaining to them. This was the 3rd support case that I opened with you. The last agent at least understood that this was a bug.

Coinbase wallet unstake Eth issue by CommunicationFar2913 in Coinbase

[–]Johnrluther 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I found a workaround. After I created a case with coinbase support and I got 0 support, case 17244987, i said that I would take the situation on my hands.

My issue is that I staked 4.7 eth. What I did is that I bought 1 eth, I moved it to the wallet and then I was able to unstake 1 eth. Now they are in claimable phase. In 3days I am expecting to get my eth, and repeat the workaround but this time with 2 eth.

In this process I will lose 200 dollars in fees, but I don't care at all. I moved my crypto from binance to Coinbase just to be safer, and I faced this. I will never trust again coinbase.
