   I live in Day One

   I have been using Day One since it was in beta. I am a writer and digital content specialist so I do a lot of writing. Day One has grown in capability and beauty since its inception -- I use it more and more everyday.

   To be frank, I tried to use EverNote but found to cumbersome and a bit much. For my mind, Day One provided the perfect palelette for me to sit down and write anything -- the tag it, or easily move it to another journal. It allows up to 10 journals, one of which I have synced to my Instagram, as I like to keep a record of what I post there.

   If you are writing daily, doing Morning Pages, if you blog and need a place to work on drafts, Day One's set up is so easy. It syncs over the cloud to your phone (I'm on Apple products, recognizes voice to text smoothly and allows images to be easily drag and dropped.

   The interface with tagging could be slightly more intuitive but the team is constantly doing updates and I am sure that will be worked out soon.

   I love it and recommend it to anyone writing.

   🏁 Competitors: Evernote, Scrivener, Microsoft Word, Google Docs

   👍 Pros:    Intuitive|Beautiful search experience|Instagram|Easy user interface|Inexpensive|Great for writers|Great value for the money

   👎 Cons:    Tagging needs to be made easier

  For general diary writing, I use Day One. It's clean, easy to use, and has no frills. You just...write. When I got it, it was one price but now it's a subscription for $2.99 a month. Source: about 1 year ago

• My Thoughts on Python in Excel

  IMO the better paradigm is coming from enterprise applications like Anaplan. Cells are not the right abstraction to work with numbers. Most of the time you work with multi-dimensional quantities (eg revenue by product, geography, month). We’re working on a more approachable implementation of that paradigm at https://causal.app. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• Show HN: Type-safe feature flags with Git versioning, local fallbacks, GraphQL

  Congrats on the launch! We've been using Hypertune at Causal (https://causal.app) for the last few months and it's saved tonnes of engineering cycles letting me and our PM iterate directly on custom onboarding copy for different Causal templates, alongside more typical feature flag use-cases :). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  If you're particularly keen go onto some of the prep courses there are out there. wall street prep is one, there are other PE prep courses hawked on here for as little as 10 bucks.

  Hi HN, I'm the founder of https://causal.app and the author of this post — Most of the finance content online is very textbook-y and overkill for early stage cos, so wanted this to be a 'no-nonsense' guide for founders/ops people that have to juggle a bit of finance stuff alongside everything else.
