@ccorcos @karpathy Yes, that's what I do with my (yearly) one big text file. Tried adding to the top coz I really like that idea, but my brain prefers top down, somehow. It's like the year is a book I'm writing and all those notes at the top are like pages already turned.

@carl_pullein I’d love to hear your view of why someone should choose the time mastery course over the book, and vice versa.

@Readdle Thank you, email sent.

Dear @readdle, are you aware that the App Store is refusing to refund for PDF Expert when the purchaser doesn't realise it's ineligible for Family Sharing? An honest mistake leads to a non-refundable $229 AU charge for an app we already own.

[Ellane W @miscellaneplans]

Family sharing requires you to agree to “purchase” an app, before being told you don't actually have to pay. Apple needs to emphasise the F.S. eligibility status of apps at the point of purchase, not just in the fine print on the app page.

Your notes should exist independently, outside of the app you use to view them. It's fine to have a favourite app, but don't chain yourself to it.

@mrsnfshr Thanks, Nicola! What kind of leatherbound notes book do you have? I'd love to see a link.
