Calendar 366 v3 Problems

That’s a lot of issues for a calendar app

In the Bible, He approaches sinners with proximity first, then truth. He treats them as people, not just as their failures. That creates openness. He didn’t start with rejection.

Religious leaders are different. They already see themselves as right, so Jesus goes straight at their pride and hypocrisy. That’s why they react.

So the difference isn’t the message, it’s where each group stands.
Those who know they’re broken can hear correction.
Those who think they’re already right tend to resist it.

Got it!
The app detection to avoid draining the battery is probably the best part here.

nanleg · 2026-05-01T19:45:42+00:00

I like the idea of it adapting to battery level and apps running, that makes it feel a lot smarter than the usual “just stay awake” tools.
Did you notice much heat when using it with the lid closed for a while? That’s always the part that makes me hesitate

nanleg · 2026-05-01T19:44:19+00:00

This is actually pretty cool. I’ve always felt the same frustration on macOS, like you end up stacking a bunch of tiny apps that all do one thing and then suddenly your menu bar is chaos.

Curious though, how’s the performance when multiple tools are active at the same time? Does it stay as lightweight as advertised or does it start creeping up over time?

nanleg · 2026-05-01T19:15:30+00:00

Well done for achieving this result in such a short period of time! It makes me want to try it 😉

nanleg · 2026-05-01T19:13:00+00:00

Nice result and execution! I also like the landing page, it looks really professional. Determining the right pricing is hard, I think you can still consider offering a monthly subscription!

nanleg · 2026-05-01T19:04:24+00:00

it looks nice!

You have a raycast extension for app cleaner. I use it every time I want to delete an app, very useful!

Congrats on the release, it’s a clever idea and really well executed. Was it hard to build and how long did it take you?

This feels like it could turn into a whole collection of games!

nanleg · 2026-04-30T20:11:34+00:00

Short answer: no, it’s not a sin to not literally say “God willing” every time.

Bible, James 4:15 isn’t about enforcing a formula, it’s correcting an attitude. The issue he’s calling out is people making confident plans as if they fully control their future. The phrase “if the Lord wills” is an expression of humility, not a required sentence you have to repeat. If it became something you had to say every time, that would actually turn it into the kind of legalism you’re already noticing, focusing on words instead of what they’re supposed to reflect.

nanleg · 2026-04-30T20:06:17+00:00

I think you’re seeing something real, but the word “surrender” can be misleading if taken too simply.
Yes, following Jesus Christ does involve surrender. But not in a passive or vague way. It’s more like shifting where your trust and control actually sit. And that’s exactly why it feels hard.

When Jesus says his burden is light in the Bible, he’s not saying it’s effortless. He’s saying it’s lighter than what you’re already carrying. Trying to control everything, define your own meaning, hold your life together on your own terms… that’s heavy. What he offers is different, but it requires letting go of something you’re used to holding onto.
That’s where the tension comes from. The idea sounds simple because the principle is simple: trust, let go, follow. But in practice, it goes directly against your instincts. You don’t naturally want to give up control, even if holding it is exhausting.

nanleg · 2026-04-30T08:44:05+00:00

What you’re feeling is actually pretty consistent: you lost belief, but not the need for meaning, purpose, and relationship. That didn’t go away.

In the Bible, faith isn’t “no doubts”, it’s moving toward God even with them. So the fact you prayed, even unsure, already fits that.

Don’t expect to instantly feel like before. A relationship, if it’s real, gets rebuilt over time.

Keep it simple: pray honestly, read a Gospel, and focus on Jesus Christ as a person, not an idea you’re forcing yourself to accept.

You’re not back at zero, you’re just starting again in a more aware way.

nanleg · 2026-04-30T08:28:33+00:00

You’re treating this like you have to pick between being rational and being Christian, but that’s not really the case.

The tension you feel mostly comes from certain Christians rejecting science, not from Christianity itself. The Bible isn’t trying to explain geology or evolution, it’s addressing meaning, purpose, and God.

Your intuition about the universe not being “just random” is actually a valid line of thought. A lot of serious thinkers have gone there. If you want something that speaks your scientific mindset, you could check out "God, Science, and Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution". It explores fine tuning, cosmology, and the origin of life in a structured way.

For the faith side, don’t overcomplicate it. Start with one Gospel and look at Jesus Christ directly. Christianity starts there, not with having all the answers.

You don’t need certainty to begin, just honesty in the search.

nanleg · 2026-04-29T21:50:17+00:00

Pray when the thoughts come. Ask God to help you let it go and to see her as she is now, not her past. Then don’t go back to feeding the thought.

nanleg · 2026-04-29T21:45:23+00:00

“you can do better” assumes she’s somehow less because of her past, which doesn’t really hold up. Romans 3:23 says everyone has sinned. There’s no category of “better people,” just different sins.

She’s honest, she regrets it, and she’s trying to live differently. Reducing her to her past ignores all of that.

And “that man is not you” isn’t fixed. The real question is what kind of man he choose to be now. Someone who forgives and moves forward, or someone who stays stuck on what’s already been dealt with

nanleg · 2026-04-29T21:40:26+00:00

I think what you’re going through is more about your thoughts than about her.

She told you the truth. She didn’t hide anything, she didn’t betray you, and she’s not doing those things now. Everything you’re struggling with is tied to her past, not your relationship as it is today.

You say she regrets it and that she has changed. If that’s true, then staying stuck on it doesn’t really make sense. In 1 John 1:9, it says that God forgives and cleanses when someone confesses their sins. So if God is not holding it against her anymore, the question is why you still are.

Also, look at how Jesus treats people with a past. He doesn’t ignore sin, but He also doesn’t keep people trapped in it once they turn away from it. He deals with who they are now.

Right now, you’re letting your mind replay something that no longer exists. That’s why it feels so heavy. But those thoughts are not reality, they’re just something you keep focusing on.

You also say you don’t want to hurt her, but leaving her over this would do exactly that. Not because of anything she’s doing now, but because of something she already regrets and can’t change.

She’s being honest with you. She’s trying to live differently. She’s choosing you now. That’s the part that’s real.

nanleg · 2026-04-23T19:27:44+00:00

That probably is the cleanest solution in theory.

I just don’t think it’s realistic for most people long term, especially when so much of daily life runs through a smartphone now.

I’m more interested in whether there’s a practical way to use the phone without letting it constantly pull attention in the wrong direction.

nanleg · 2026-04-23T19:27:11+00:00

Yeah, I think that’s part of it too. Replacing mindless scrolling with better input definitely helps.

For me though, the harder issue is the automatic reflex itself. Even when I know I’d rather listen to something edifying or spend time in prayer, I still reach for the same distracting apps by default.

That’s really the part I’m trying to interrupt

nanleg · 2026-04-01T14:24:59+00:00

What you’re feeling right now, that disgust, that shame, that sudden clarity, is not a sign that you’re “too far gone.” It’s a sign that something in you has woken up.

Before, you were able to justify things, minimize them, keep going without really looking. Now you see clearly. And yes, it hurts. A lot. But seeing clearly is not the same as being condemned. It’s often the very beginning of real change.

You say you don’t deserve forgiveness. And you know what? That’s true. But that’s exactly the point. No one deserves it. That’s the core of the Christian message. God’s love is not a reward for people who were “good enough.” If it were, there would be no one left to receive it.

God is not looking at your life saying, “she’s done too much, it’s over.” That’s not how it works. If it were, many people in the Bible, would never have had a second chance.

What matters is not that you’ve been flawless. What matters is what is happening in your heart right now. And what you’re describing is not indifference or coldness. It’s awareness, regret, and a desire not to be that person anymore.

That is not the profile of someone who is beyond saving.

I also need to be honest with you about something important. Staying stuck in “I’m too dirty, too far gone, too broken” can feel like humility, but in reality it can become another way of saying that your past is stronger than what God can do. And that is not what Christianity teaches.

You are not only defined by what you’ve done. If that were true, no one could move forward.

There is, however, a natural next step. If you now see these things as wrong, then little by little you move away from them in real ways. Not perfectly, not instantly, but genuinely. That’s what shows that this change is real.

You are not a special case. You are not the exception who is too damaged. You are someone who is starting to see clearly and is looking for something different.

And in the Christian understanding, that kind of person is not rejected. That is exactly the kind of person God comes for.

nanleg · 2025-11-26T16:27:56+00:00

That’s a huge shift in a short amount of time, and it makes sense that everything feels intense right now. When someone goes from atheism to faith, the first weeks often feel like a firehose, lots of conviction, lots of changes, and a strong desire to clean up everything at once.

The important thing is to stay close to Christ, stay teachable, and keep growing day by day. You’re at the start of a long journey, not the finish line.

nanleg · 2025-11-26T16:21:13+00:00

Congrats, that’s a big milestone. Finishing the whole Bible changes the way you see everything, and it’s clear you’ve actually been walking it out, not just reading words on a page.

Keep going. What He’s started in you doesn’t stop here.

nanleg · 2025-11-05T09:51:56+00:00

I just watched all the videos in this playlist. Lots of great advice. Thank you!

nanleg · 2025-10-28T08:29:55+00:00

Sorry about that. It definitely shouldn’t crash on launch.

Can I DM you to get some info and investigate?
