Hello!
First, some context- I have a very particular way I keep track of my work and take notes throughout my work week. This is currently managed through an ever-growing list of Notion pages. And Notion is great! It does a ton of stuff really well, but it's also suffered from a lot of feature bloat over the years and has just enough oddities to irk me on the daily.
So, I built a thing. I call it True To-do because it's fun to say and I'm okay at software and less okay at marketing. It is an opinionated daily work tracker with a lot of little features:
- You can set a standard template that gets auto-copied to certain days of the week
- Supports infinite nesting and expanding/collapsing of those nested items
- Unfinished work the from the previous day can be auto-copied to new days
- It has various tools like a data roll-up and data controls
- It supports loading itself as an offline desktop app (PWA)
- Has many configurable settings for making the interface go from full to minimal
- Dark theme!
It is also 100% free, has no tracking, no cookies, doesn't ask for your email, your data does not leave your device, and is pretty performant (better than Notion, at least). It was written heavily with AI, but not by AI - It was directed, reviewed, and corrected by me.
What it does not have is any kind of user account feature. Everything stays on the device and will not transfer between devices unless you manually export and import the data. Maybe I'll add support for that at some point, I'm not sure. It is also only okay on mobile/tablet- this app was really made for desktop.
Anyways, give it a play around. It was purpose built by me for me but love to share the things I make when I think others may get some use out of them as well. I welcome feedback / bug reports / suggestions / etc.

HiddenTig LinkI guess I'm against the grain here but I really don't care about this change. Reddits default subs have been awful for a long time now so on the rare times I browse I'm always logged in anyways.I guess I'm against the grain here but I really don't care about this change.

So a being that is more complex than us I wouldn't think would necessarily have less of the unconscious hidden away from them, maybe they'd have even more to allow more focus on other, more important things.
To your point though, I guess It doesn't make sense to call myself "maximally conscious" without access to those parts of me. I'll have to rethink that.

Theoretically something sufficiently complex could become more conscious than human? Is there a cap to this or does the level consciousness continue to scale with complexity to infinity?

It's dead simple to use one handed and does the job just fine way more often than you'd reasonably expect.

Much to my chagrin, the company I work for has done a lot in terms of steering/ pushing all software development be done through AI for some time now.
And what gives me much grin, GitHub changed their pricing structure for copilot. I'll skip the details the key fact is what used to be about $30/month per person + maybe few bucks in overages is now resulting in us hitting our usage cap on the 2nd day of the month. Overage costs this month will be hundreds of dollars per developer. I know this is an unexpected expense as I mentioned it casually to our CTO who had no idea.
I'm curious if this is going to force them to rethink the AI strategy. The incessant pushing to use more and more AI maybe will finally bite them on the ass so much they have to ask us to stop or pull back? Or maybe they'll just plunder our salaries, who knows.
I'm curious if anyone else is in the same situation.

At every stage he'd use an AI conversation as his evidence and each time he'd sprinkle in little requirements that are not actual requirements to steer it to the specific answer that makes him right. Very frustrating, I don't care what chatgpt says I just proved possible the thing you said was impossible in my last message!
For shits n giggles I tossed the whole unedited exchange to an llm and asked its opinion and it said I was right so that felt nice. Kinda. I didn't add that to the thread, maybe I should have? 😏
