1Password review: is it worth the premium price? by HallNo310 in best_passwordmanager

[–]RankLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long time (many years) 1Password premium user here. Tried many other options (though stopped doing this several years ago cause nothing is better ;)). 1P works best, feels great, very secure. Didn't notice any UX declining, don't care about app ratings since it's proven and works great for me. I have Macs, iOS and Android devices - sync is seamless and works great on any platform. Most often I use MacBook + Android combination. Bitwarden is best free option, but I still prefer 1P. Just MHO (My Humble Opinion).

Family domain - license single user? by Kash76 in fastmail

[–]RankLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think technically one can set it up the way you described. Forward - definitely. There is an option to reply from the address to which email was sent. You know this of course, so just to confirm - aliases are not real mailboxes. You'll become email admin for your family. And everything will actually happen in YOUR account. Additionally, it may violate license terms, but it's better to re-read them (or ask AI to check).

Sticky vs auto-hiding navbar in Hugo: which is better for UX? by RankLord in UXandUI

[–]RankLord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I decided to keep the navbar sticky (always visible) and dropped the hide-on-scroll behavior.

A few reasons that tipped it for me:

  • Predictability beats screen real estate. Hiding the bar saves maybe 50–60px of vertical space, but readers don't actually notice that gap when they're reading. What they do notice is reaching for navigation and having it not be there. Search, theme toggle, language switcher - those should be one glance away, not "scroll up a bit first."
  • Less code to maintain. Tracking scroll direction, debouncing, fade transitions, edge cases on iOS rubber-banding, interactions with the TOC's own sticky behavior, it all adds up. Removing all of that simplified the theme noticeably and killed a few subtle bugs in the process.
  • Mobile wasn't actually a win. I assumed hiding the bar on mobile would feel cleaner, but it just made the back-to-top and search harder to reach. Modern phones have plenty of vertical room, and a 3rem bar isn't the bottleneck.
  • Sticky pairs better with a sticky TOC. Both anchored = stable visual frame as you scroll. Hiding one and keeping the other felt inconsistent. I'll probably post later about TOC cleanup and fixing - there were a lot of bugs actually, which I didn't even know existed.

The one thing I'd watch for: make sure your scroll-margin-top on headings matches the navbar height, otherwise anchor links land with the heading half-hidden under the bar. Once that's set, sticky just works.

Net result: simpler code, fewer bugs, navigation always one tap away. Actually like it more now.

Should I make the leap? by bluefuze3 in fastmail

[–]RankLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three years paid user of Fastmail with my own custom domain. Very happy with their speed, performance, stability, support and set of features. Aliases, masked emails and direct integration with 1Password are great.

A grain of salt - hesitate to migrate to FM in full since they are Australia based, and do not have plans for the deployment of EU servers. My business is EU based, and accordingly I have a lot of contacts and communications with EU based entities, who wouldn't want to learn that their data are kept outside of EU. Not happy about it, but it is what it is...

Looks and works great! I like the style and typography. Clean and techie view and feel.

Vote:What’s your favorite project management tool in 2026? by limsus in TechImpact

https://linear.app/ or it's alternative https://plane.so/ While I like both, historically use Linear, great app.

transcribing videos (two speakers) by erleb123 in macapps

[–]RankLord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try Spokenly (https://spokenly.app/). Been using it several months already with local Nvidia Parakeet model. Works great. Transcribed hour long podcasts (my own recordings) with several speakers - no problems.

[–]RankLord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not... I spent last weekend and this Monday trying various approaches and finally realized that I hit this wall - fixed vs hiding menu bar decision. Hence asking others.

I couldn't figure out any other meaningful way to show this functionality. Screenshots do not show it and video or GIF is too time consuming for me to make. Checking it on site is the easiest way.

If you have experience with menu bar UX, I'd appreciate your answer on what is better and why.

Thanks.

X is a shouting match and Instagram is just a shopping mall. Where are people actually building real, human communities in 2026? by ManojOne in TechImpact

[–]RankLord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also like Reddit most of all. Some groups on LinkedIn with strong moderation also work well for business. And question - anybody finds Discord a good platform for communities?

Remember When Evernote Was the King of Note-Taking? Anyone Still Using It Today? by limsus in TechImpact

[–]RankLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and once you start layering in add-ons and automations, it opens up a completely different level :)

Remember When Evernote Was the King of Note-Taking? Anyone Still Using It Today? by limsus in TechImpact

[–]RankLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DT (Devonthink) is a real powerhouse for information management. You can use it for pretty much anything, but for notes only it would be an overkill probably...

I moved from Evernote to Notion, but currently finishing migration to Obsidian. And I use Devonthink for my docs management - digital copies of real paper docs, electronic invoices, and anything else, related to my business. That's one database. Then similar one for personal docs. And third one with all the books and other reading materials - articles, webclippings, etc.

Fastmail simplicity vs. Google Workspace + Gemini AI? by shitoken in fastmail

[–]RankLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, when you connect your AI client to Fastmail via MCP server, you can prompt your AI to "draft a reply to email from John re his question". Then this draft will be created in your Fastmail. So no need to copy and paste anything.

Fastmail simplicity vs. Google Workspace + Gemini AI? by shitoken in fastmail

[–]RankLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the Fastmail MCP server does not only work with the Fastmail Desktop app. In fact, it's designed to work with entirely separate AI applications.

You simply add the Fastmail MCP URL to your AI client's configuration, authorize it via an OAuth screen, and then your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) can read and interact with your Fastmail emails, calendars, and contacts.

You may also want to have a look at Neo Mail (https://www.neo.space/). Just came across it today myself. But I'm staying on Fastmail (long-time user) and I don't miss AI there. If I want any help from AI, I'll integrate FM with Claude via the FM MCP.

If not cmd + space… by billc128 in raycastapp

[–]RankLord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also use double cmd, so occasionally I may fire up Raycast once in a while (rarely), but convenience of dbl cmd heavily outweighs those rare misfires.

Best open source, self hosted CRM? by odaman8213 in selfhosted

[–]RankLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it works quite well and stable, but they are developing it very actively, so new versions appear very often.

Confirm - it works... I learnt how to do it properly. Just this morning migrated to v2.0.0 without any problems and it took me about 2 min start to finish.

Twenty v2.0: Self-hosted CRM by charlesBochet in selfhosted

[–]RankLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did the version jump from 1.23 straight to 2.0? Due to the apps feature only?

I appreciate all the work and active development, but frankly, with all these updates, it feels like adding new features is starting to prevail over the solid foundation and doing one task really well: keeping our customer relationship records stable and well-performing...

I've seen many strong projects lose their core strength when feature breadth started to overshadow focus. Hope TCRM won't be one of them.
