TIL about @supermemory ‘s queryRewrite feature

https://t.co/RgDEU0fiCi

Was thinking of how to do this manually but thankfully there’s a built in feature

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

Added email reminders for In Progress items (excludes Backlog and excludes Snoozed items) and email them to me.

For now, this feature is experimental and runs only for my personal account. Might make it available to other users if there will be users. #buildinpublic

@gmail's Snooze feature is great. That's the inspiration for adding Snooze to Many Things. Feature is live now.

Created a new app - TimeBlocks.

I found myself using the timers to do 'Pomodoro' work rounds so much and then separately keeping track of the session goals. Felt like it was natural to make this app inside SimpleFocus.

Set your goals, start the 30-min timer.

Before, the items under In Progres can only be viewed, but not completed. To complete them, you'd need to click on 'ManyThings' to navigate to the app's page.

There is also now a count of how many Backlog items there are.

3) So 2 separate navigation locations. Boo! After - Sidebar is enabled for all pages, including home page. Settings icon moved to Sidenav too, consolidating navigation into one location - the Sidebar.

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

1) Developing Simple Focus is not an exercise of programming, but one of product refining. It's about maximising utility and minimising complexity.

Before - on the home page, all the 'apps' are shown as cards.

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

2) Then if you navigate to any of the apps, there would be a sidebar navigation. This meant navigation had 2 different modes. Stupid! It should be consistent throughout. Also, navigating to Settings meant clicking the icon in the TopNav.

Many Things - Added tracking of creation date and display of it in dropdown.

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

Made a simple tracker for how time you're spending on various things: https://t.co/ib8CkFBCnk

@KingsCollegeLon I tried to send an email to "[email protected]" about one of your short courses, but got "Recipient address rejected: Access denied."

Can you assist?

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

@ChromiumDev the animation here is too sick! can you please do a tutorial on it?

With @OpenAI's release of Retrieval and GPTs, can @RelevanceAI_ remain relevant?

@gimli_app within an iframe? I don't think there are any iframes. it seems to happen when I am selecting an element on the page. As in, it could start off okay, and I could select an element, but if I select som other element, then it could crash.

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

@gimli_app hey! The extension is awesome. I have encountered it crashing several times. How do I volunteer to contribute?

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

@gimli_app

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

@gimli_app I can try to take a screenshot the next time it happens!

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

@gimli_app Thanks for your reply. Red screen with errors! I am not sure how to give you exact steps as it's occurring on a private repo that I am working on for a client.

[Nazreen @toolsbynazreen]

What's a neat coding tool that you recently found and have been using since?
