Muro allocates focus hours based on your calendar. It helps me know at the start of my day, when I can put my head down and focus.

I'm looking for alpha testers, do sign up for the waitlist and I'll provide access for free.

I would suggest trying out consulting firms. There are ones which have good internal culture, multiple learning and upskilling sessions, etc.

I'm building Muro (getmuro.com). Connect your calendar (multiple calendars) and then see muro find you focus times.

As an engineer, it is hard to know when you can put your head down and work when you have multiple meetings. This helps me cure that overhead of planning my morning.

I'm working on getmuro.com

It takes in your calendars and gives you time slots where you can put your head down and work! It built it for myself, but a few people found it interesting, so I thought of publishing it.

If you are someone who manages multiple calendars and multiple calls per day, then you will find this useful!

If someone knows a solution or a better frame of thought regarding this, let me know.

Love handy. I use it too when dealing with LLMs. The other day I asked chatgpt to generate interview questions based on job description and then I answered using handy. So cool!

Interesting! This could be true. I'll play around with this in a bit.

Makes sense. I need to rewire how I think about Go. I should see it how I see JS.

I'm building a personal CRM tool that I use to store my network. I have a bad habit of not checking up on people. Even close friends. That's why I'm building this. The goal is to have a software where I can input people and then set reminders to catch up with them. It's kind of like a relationship management tool.

I'm working on an application that will help me install AppImages. The problem I'm solving is that some apps come with the wrong logo/icon. So in the app I'm building we'll be able to set a custom icon for the AppImage.

Recently, I can't seem to join standup calls through firefox. I really don't want to switch to chrome. But seems like I have to.

bonniesimon — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:48:56 +0000

I've tried it out and I can notice that ghostty is a little more snappy than Alacritty. I was happy with Alacritty, but I used a face a weird issue where the whole terminal freezes. I'm not sure if this is a Alacritty issue or tmux issue. I can only confirm this by using Ghostty and checking if the same issue happens.

Anyways this is a great piece of software. I've never been this hyped for a software ever before. Great work team.

Formatting and spacing shouldn't fall onto the developer. It is stupid because it is always opinionated. Integrate a linter, decide on a standard and make a linter do the spacing and formatting.
