At that price point you should check out Mila which is an air purifier that adjusts based on air quality. I own three - highly recommended!

How I overcame my fear of heights: indoor bouldering.

I don’t think it was a hack, rather it was a real test. The dev mentions it in this tweet https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1377687358095654914?s=20

Does anybody use this for non-academic purposes? I've been looking for something similar to use as a personal knowledge base, but zotero may be a bit much for that use case.

Their solution for offline work is to view the page when you’re online so it’s cached, then any changes you make while offline will be synced once back online.

At the beginning of the day, I pull tasks from Notion (https://www.notion.so/). I use a dot grid notebook (this one is good and cheap http://a.co/fQUVPpF) for general notes and design. At the end of the day I review and put the important stuff back into Notion.
