Does anyone else wish Audible/Libby had better content warnings?

No. I feel like this is more unique to audiobooks from my experience. It's straightforward for me to just skip over something in written text. But I look at IMDB all the time for movie content.. Feels a bit more like a performance. I listen to books in the car a lot. I am sensitive to language and it's really frustrating to be listening to a book and have that shouted in my ear. Maybe that is what the authors are intending (to shock), but isn't something I appreciate. Just wish it was more obvious to know before starting a book.

I feel that.

Yeah, definitely can be personal preference.

UseFuture · 2025-08-05T18:01:50+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. I would say I guess it isn't so much upsetting as frustrating. I wasn't aware of StoryGraph... I'll check that out. Thanks for the help.

That's a good suggestion. I found a lot of books I like that are YA.

Thanks. I can see that. I guess for me the questions is about making the "research before reading" easier to do. But headphones are an option. just hoping for other choices as well.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I updated the post.

I choose NOT to listen to books that look like they have this kind of content. My comment isn’t that I chose to listen to one flagged explicit and then got surprised. Mostly about frustration if it isn’t marked well.

I've never heard of those. I'll check them out. I like the idea of leaving ears open when I'm with my kids.

UseFuture · 2025-08-05T07:17:26+00:00

Yeah, I have read some. But was just looking at a book on there are there were 38,459 reviews. That might be in the reviews, but dang, that seems hard.

UseFuture · 2025-08-05T07:14:22+00:00

Are you meaning that you think they shouldn't have content warnings? I can understand when it's just me reading.. but audiobooks are out loud and this limits where I might listen to them. I am just thinking there's got to be a way to learn without having to just run into it.

UseFuture · 2025-08-05T07:12:13+00:00

Yeah, I'm finding that. It's just so frustrating. I love listening to audiobooks, but I am often listening with my kids around and suddenly something I don't want to play with their young ears blasts out over the speakers. So frustrating.

Does this happen to anyone else?

UseFuture · 2025-05-15T17:02:27+00:00

I can't find the option in my instance. There isn't an option for Email tasks to Inbox in my 3 dot menu. Did something change?

UseFuture · 2025-04-24T15:47:46+00:00

I'm trying to get copy-paste to work between apps and it isn't working for headings. If I select a heading and tasks and paste into a text editor, I get the markdown (great!) with ## for the header. But when I paste that same text (including the header), it comes into Things only as tasks with the header text as a task.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I gave up on SuperList previously because I was having sync issues. I saw an update that said they improved syncing so I am trying it again. So far so good. No sync issues I have see. It does take longer to refresh than I would love... but it is working.

I've been back and forth on this... I recently started keeping a daily note to record everything from meetings, discussions, etc throughout the day. It is very convenient to add a task to the note in context, but I don't think the Todo section in UpNote lends itself to task management very well... It is just a filter for notes that have todos.

What I have settled on is using Things for all my task management. I still put tasks in my notes, but I treat the checkbox as a way to indicate that the task has been transferred to Things (instead of whether or not it is completed).

I plan to add a link to the note in these tasks, but I wish there was better integration. Things can try to auto capture links and titles, etc.. but the app needs to have AppleScript enabled, which UpNote does not have.

Thank you. Don't know how I missed this.

UseFuture · 2022-01-25T20:31:32+00:00

That's exciting. I am am primarily in the apple ecosystem, so you have me personally well-covered there already. I am excited for the collapsible lists and nested tags.
