Is there a service I can upload markdown files to and it gives a rendered interface with simple navigation and such?

Or do I need to build one? 😀

11ty starter template with lots of sensible defaults. Meta tags, navigation, accessibility and a lot more

I finally got round to archiving all my tweets (and I blogged about it)

Next recommendation...

I'm after a tool/library that enables non-Gitlab users to edit files (specifically Markdown/Docs)

Could imagine a light JS frontend (like Netlify CMS) that Account Managers can sign into to edit/update docs and it makes an MR with their email as committer.

Maybe it's more a Markdown Editor which connects to a git repo 🤔

@DavidDarnes Yes, exactly that, except:

  • I don't them to have to have Github account
  • I needs to work with our self-hosted Gitlab

😬

@DavidDarnes Interesting, thanks :)

@robb @DavidDarnes Anything I can help with?

I feel like there is a hole in my (work) productivity for "mind dumps". Things that aren't ready to be full documentation or tasks for the wider team but something which is a bit more concrete than a "to do".

I currently use (and love) TickTick but i think I'm looking for something to replace it. The best thing about TickTick is the global hotkey to add a todo - it appears, I write it, it disappears.

Notion and Obsidian jump out - anyone else using these? Any other suggestions?

@robb Is Drafts an app or is it a draft email or something?🤔

@robb Will have a look, thanks

@andydavies are their lawyers aware? 😉

I'm actually trying ClickUp. I already had an account and it's got a lot of features I was after

  • Global hotkey
  • Concept of "quick tasks" along with them being rich
  • docs, notes and whiteboards
  • priority and dates
  • subtasks

This one was an interesting combination of job perks:

  1. Unlimited PTO

  2. 1 month sabbatical for every 5 years employed

If #1 is true, why does #2 exist?

mikestreety,
@mikestreety@hachyderm.io avatar

@itsjoshbruce a lot of places have rules about consecutive weeks (e.g. no more than 2 consecutive weeks off at once) kind of thing.

Also unlimited PTO is never that, is it? otherwise you could book the whole year off 😃

mikestreety,
@mikestreety@hachyderm.io avatar

@gdinwiddie @itsjoshbruce I'm also wary of it as, in my experience, you end up taking less.

I had a friend who had unlimited holiday and only took 16 days one year because he didn't have holiday to "use up". UK law says you should be given at least 20 days!

TIL there's a name for what I ran away from in the corporate world: Mushroom management.
It's a management style where employees are given work without knowing its purpose.
Why mushroom management ? Because workers are “kept in the dark and fed bullshit”

When looking at my stats, this one always makes me smile:

Longest Slump
3714 consecutive days without a find from 23/10/2011 to 23/12/2021

(Side note - was completely accidental that I started back up again on the 23rd)

Been messing with https://rs.sjoy.lol :)

Even with the parsing of RSS being built into client side JS with DOMParser (@darius did excellent work helping me make it happen), it bothered me how long it took to go fetch and parse all the feeds on every reload.

So now I'm doing it just how people said, by setting up a build hook and GitHub action to have it update on a schedule. Currently I'm doing every 4 hours between 8am and 8pm UTC, we'll see how many of my free build minutes are used up!
