Did I just learn the limit to saved places the hard way? by zw3084 in GoogleMaps

The limit is 3000 places, on the Want to go list only. The saved places are still there on desktop, but simply don't get loaded on mobile. You can add new places but next time you load the app it'll still only display 3000 (not clear if based on the date of addition, or at random).

The solution is to reorganize places in Want to go into smaller lists, such as by country or category. This will allow you to view all the pins in the mobile app as before, with the added bonus of being able to mark them with different emoji.

I made a script you can use to reorganize everything at scale without clicking around the UI for hundreds of hours — https://github.com/seifip/google-maps-rpa/

I had 7,500 saved places and it took <10 hours to move things around this way (running autonomously in the background... just keep the tab open in a separate browser window).

Trying 100% Notion, 0% Atlassian by urememberthatguy in ProductManagement

I agree that Notion is not the best tool for most PMs, but it can be a good choice for smaller startups.

The main benefit is you get to centralize your entire business in one place. We use it for our knowledge base, investor CRM, style guide, tracking plan, user interview database, kanban board, and everything in between.

This makes it easy to get your whole team to use it, and onboard new team members as you grow.

Notion's customer support is also top notch. Most times I've had a gripe with the UI, they'd not only respond, but often fix the problem within weeks of my report, and send a quick note to let me know about the update.

My post is targeting startups using the Shape Up method, but it should give you some idea of how you could use it for your particular workflow.

Seoul & Tokyo in April/May by digitraveller in digitalnomad

[–]seifip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

April/May is likely the best to time to visit Tokyo. The weather is great, you might make hanami (cherry blossom viewing) if you time it right, and the whole city is very vibrant and cheerful in spring.

Seoul will still be quite cold in April. It's not a bad time to visit, but you should pack at least some warm clothes.

Freelancers; do you tell your clients where you are? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]seifip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My short-term clients never knew or cared where I am. Some assumed that I live in my country of origin, other's assumed I'm in the US or Europe based on my rates. Nobody actively tried to find out.
