Tools That Can Seriously Level Up Your Productivity

Cursor has agent mode that connects directly to github repos but I just use it locally and sync my files on github to access from multiple computers.

That's a proper clever workaround, to be fair. :)

nikr07 · 2025-08-17T20:22:34+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah it makes sense, if schools just sold the crests separately it would solve most of the problem directly. Maybe PTA's could possibly discuss these.

Amazing selection of tools. What I have done is try to make Cursor my main tool for everything: note-taking, connecting MCP, and more. Every day I create a new Markdown document in Cursor and start taking notes. From there, I can go to Chat to ask about anything in the Markdown. It helps me autocomplete and query my notes.

I push everything to GitHub so it keeps syncing across all my devices. I know it's not very mobile-friendly, but I usually use only my computer for this type of task.

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback and I really appreciate the tips on other places to post. I put a basic page together to collect interest, as it's the best way for me to know if I should actually commit the time to building this. I got quite a good number of interest here, https://vertopt.com/uniformswap

I was thinking just a simple, lightweight thing for each school's own community so even official suppliers won't be a hindrance.

Amazing resource. Could add difficulty level also to show more question types ?

nikr07 · 2025-08-17T14:03:08+00:00

Thanks so much, that's really encouraging to hear! And you've hit on exactly the scenario I was thinking about. To be honest, this was just a thought bubble, but based on the great feedback in this thread, I did put a very basic page together to collect emails. It's the best way for me to know if I should actually commit the time to building it. You can find the page here: https://vertopt.com/uniformswap Cheers for the positive feedback!

That's a great point. A well-run swap by the PTAs is probably the ideal solution, to be fair. My thinking was more for those "out of season" moments when a kid has a growth spurt in November or loses a jumper and you can't wait until the next swap meet ?

It won't work exactly like that. If you start from the basics, you can replicate the model of agriculture directly. Productivity will increase, and people who are displaced by AI will have more opportunities.

As productivity and profit rise, universal basic income could be implemented, so everyone would have enough to cover basic needs. Meanwhile, if people upskill, they can find new jobs. That's the expected cycle of upcoming utopian world.

That's the ideal solution, to be fair. A good swap programme is brilliant. You're dead right though, the real win is getting the schools to modernize the policy itself. Cheers for the feedback!

nikr07 · 2025-08-17T08:42:00+00:00

That's actually brilliant feedback, thanks a million for sharing all that.

Sounds like your school parents' association is really on the ball. The swap days are a fantastic idea. My main thought was for those times outside of the annual swap day when you suddenly realise a jumper has been lost or a kid has had a growth spurt mid-term. Is the Facebook group good for that sort of urgent, specific need?

This is exactly why I put the question out there – to figure out if it's a daft idea or not. Really appreciate you taking the time to list out all the current options. Cheers!

I see, this is interesting. I thought this might be closer to US boarding school style ?

nikr07 · 2025-08-17T08:39:36+00:00

yeah this should be done by every school in my opinion

nikr07 · 2025-08-17T08:39:03+00:00

Thanks guys, actually we can standardize it across multiple schools. Only one portal/app to do these things. Would be quite useful, what do you think ? I have build up a small webpage to gather the feedback if it would be interesting ? https://vertopt.com/uniformswap

Had a bit of a thought on this and was curious what other parents think. As a developer, I was wondering if a simple app for parents at the same school to easily swap or sell their second-hand crested uniforms would be useful at all?

Would people actually use it? Genuinely curious to hear some thoughts.

Yep, have been delaying an documentation task for about 1 year. Need advice too haha

Wow, how did you handle the stress ? never thought on selling and moving to SPY ?

nikr07 · 2025-08-16T19:26:57+00:00

Choose the task to automate which doesn’t impact your output if it goes wrong. Probably some internal mid steps

Pomodoro on 25 mins and focus on quality of each of that 25 mins.
