@PlausibleHQ Thanks for getting back to me! No, all good now! Issue was resolved after 5-10 minutes on my end.

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

Is @PlausibleHQ offline or are there any technical difficulties?

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@Organic_Release Here some more tips: https://t.co/wiIUsZEd2I I bundled my whole workflow (compounded through many years) in a guide. Few chapters are for free!

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@nalinrajput23 congrats. before installing anything: System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Spotlight, turn off Show Spotlight search, then put Raycast on cmd+space. one launcher on one shortcut. first thing i do on every new mac

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

launched my Mac Setup Kit yesterday. day 1 numbers:

17 visitors, 5 opened a free chapter, 1 read one to the end, nobody clicked buy yet. Product Hunt sent about 5 people.

so right now it's a traffic problem, not a checkout problem.

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

I've set up my Macs the same way since 2009. folders, file naming, Raycast as the first app, 67 shortcuts. finally wrote it all down.

first chapter is free, no signup:

12 hours in and my Desktop is still cleaner than my Stripe dashboard.

everyone knows cmd+tab. almost nobody knows cmd+`

cmd+tab switches apps. cmd+` (usually the key above tab) switches windows of the app you're in.

no more cmd+tabbing into Chrome and then hunting for the right window with the mouse.

@JustinasRoland0 I would love to invite you to read the free chapters https://t.co/wHuuK4SzKP, hope those are already helpful with your new mac! (and as said, Dropbox, Google Drive OR (not and) iCloud + Raycast should be your first)

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@ZenithAiLab Thanks! Don’t forget to give the free chapters a chance! If you like it and think it is worth a repost I don’t mind to give you the book for free 🙏🏻

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

2.5 days well spent, future you says thanks. faster than right click: select the file, hit enter, type the new name. and put the date first as YYYY-MM-DD (2026-10-25-invoice-client.pdf) so Finder sorts by date for free. wrote a whole Setup Kit full of these if you want more: https://t.co/UD5TH91vrj

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@stejas809 you actually can, it's just hidden. Shortcuts app, new shortcut, Open App, then Add Keyboard Shortcut in the info panel. I'm at 67 shortcuts now, they compound fast. wrote down the basics in a free chapter if you want more: https://t.co/XK3WW9PyD3. welcome to the dark side 😄

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@jurlycat honestly? for scrolling a recipe while cooking, sure. for work, nah. by the time my finger reaches the screen I've already cmd+tabbed there. bonus: keep holding cmd in the switcher and hit Q, app's gone

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@Bhavyaztwt not an app but the first 2 minutes on every mac I touch: Finder settings, new windows open your work folder, show all filename extensions, opt+cmd+P for the path bar. then Raycast, the one app I'd install before anything else. sounds boring. boring is fast

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@engadget touchscreen is cool and all but my hands aren't leaving the keyboard. fn+ctrl+arrow already snaps a window left or right, zero fingerprints on that OLED. coworkers already tell me I go too fast, imagine me poking the screen too

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@MacRumors if you grab one: maybe skip Migration Assistant. if your current mac is already a bit of a mess (no judgment, mine was), set it up fresh and only move what you actually miss after a week. otherwise you're paying for a faster mac to carry the same chaos. hi, untitled folder 3

[Rick van den Broek @rickvdbroek]

@rohraws yep, they compound. started with a handful years ago, now I'm at 67 and still adding. learn the pattern and the rest kinda follows
