I wrapped up my time at Verse a few weeks ago and I’m taking some time to figure out what’s next. I’m especially interested in human rights and climate action, and I’d love to help out at a nonprofit or mission-driven org—places like ACLU, Amnesty International, Sierra Club, 350.org, or others doing meaningful work. Whether it’s coaching leaders or making process improvements, I love helping nonprofits to make things run more smoothly so they can focus more on their mission. If you're at a nonprofit of any sort, let's chat. And if you know someone doing this kind of work, I’d really appreciate an intro or a share. Thanks!

I’m not sure I completely agree that ClickUp has this right. Work is broken? Maybe. Probably. But “app-switching fragments work, steals time, and kills productivity”? I’m not sure about that. I get a lot more work done when I don’t have Mail or Slack open. Having them integrated in a single app seems like *more* of a productivity killer than switching between apps. This is one of the nice things about Nostr, actually. I *want* to switch between a variety of smaller, more focused apps to do specific things. View quoted note →

Really enjoying the Dart course from Code with Andrea. I’ve learned a lot of Dart in the few hours I’ve spent with it. Well worth the time and money.

@jb55 Damus crashes on launch for me on macOS 14.7.2 (23H311). Well, it started when I logged in — it crashed immediately after I pasted my key and clicked the Login button. Now whenever I launch it just crashes. I deleted it and reinstalled; still crashing on launch. Is there something I can do to clear data and try again?

I’m super excited that we were able to release this, and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the new lists feature! View quoted note →

I recently bought an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite — my first ereader — and have been reading Radical Candor on it. So far, I’m loving how I can highlight things without ruining the book. As much as I love reading on paper, I never wanted to destroy a book by marking it up with notes or highlights. It’s nice to feel totally free to do this, and the Paperwhite makes it really easy to highlight text. Maybe I should just get over myself and mark up paper books, but I guess that would require buying rather than borrowing and I’m not sure I want to do that. View quoted note →

I started reading Radical Candor on @npub1qlk0...yayc’s recommendation and I’m loving it so far. I’ve been trying to be a little more direct and a little clear on what I want, need, or expect at work.

Yes! In A Bit of Optimism where Simon Sinek interviewed her, they talked about how this is useful for dealing with adults, too! The Simon Sinek interview is quite a bit shorter, so it might be a good option if you don’t have ~3 hours to listen.

Enjoyed this post about X, Nostr, Mastodon, and others: https://highlighter.com/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqtkqtqa8m2md0lhr9mcd2fwsefd99ff4lvnwezp8ykfwld3lyr04qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqq6vfhxgurxve5xcerwwpsxydr7f92 I do wonder about this — everyone says this, but I’m not sure _why_: "Do regular users really need to think about public and private keys? Yes, yes, I get it — users have to keep in mind their privacy if they want to have it. But you have to read at least something to understand what you're doing, which is automatically more difficult than simply press ‘Sign up’.” _Do_ regular users really need to think about public and private keys? Why?

This. The weird onboarding process for Nostr is a serious issue, but not an unsolvable one. We can figure this out. View quoted note →

Started re-reading Badass: Making Users Awesome and absolutely love the caption on this image:

Yep, it’s really cool to have my Nos Team list and my Nostr Devs list in addition to the list of everyone I’m following. Sometimes I just want to check in on my team and see what they’re posting, and now I can do that with @nos! View quoted note →

@miljan 👋 hey, Linda mentioned that you (or someone on your team) might be willing to talk with us about some technical details around Nostr apps in general. Specifically, we’re looking at implementing some automated tests for scroll performance in Nos for iOS and I’d love to know if the Primal team has any experience with those. Thanks in advance!

A lot of this article rings true and aligns with other things I’ve been seeing, hearing, and reading. https://archive.is/PmWkf Along these lines, we recently had the Surgeon General’s Parting Prescription for America, and the Join or Die documentary on Netflix. It sure sounds like the consensus is that self-imposed solitude is destroying our health and happiness.

So: what do you think? Are we doomed to unhappiness if we don’t spend time with people in real life? Thanks to @rabble for sharing the Atlantic article with the team and to @Linda for sharing the documentary.

Yes! Cursor and Warp have both been awesome for me, too, by generating a lot of code that would’ve taken me too long to figure out on my own. View quoted note →
