   Extremely powerful todo list manager

   I used Remember the Milk for years, but they were slow to fix bugs and new features hardly ever appeared. Marvin is, as the name says, Amazing. Very powerful 'smart' lists of tasks, searching, customisation. It does take a while to get to grips with the huge range of features.

• Featured Mod of the Month: Anita Olsen

  Anita: I have lifetime access to the subscription-based code-learning website, CodeCombat, where I enjoy learning Python and taking all the Game Development courses offered there. Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: 7 months ago

• Struggling with life, infp struggle the most? Please help?

  Again there are many great free ones out there, but my personal recommendation is definitely this one. It is paid, but the cost is not far off a pint of beer these days and you can customise it however you want (you could think of it as an investment in terms of the value it brings into your life vs the cost).

• How do you get over the hurdle of desperately wanting to start using a task manager but feel totally overwhelmed and panicked about trying to remember and input all the many things that should go into it, not to mention deciding which one? (AuDHD)

  I have recently realized that there will be no perfect tool you will find just by looking things up. You literally do have to try around w a few apps (or more traditional methods) and see which one you enjoy. It took me a while but I found smth called Amazing Marvin. I love it because it’s very customizable. I think when we try to look for the “perfect” tool, we really are looking for tons of customizability so we... Source: about 1 year ago
