We Deserve Less

I taught ChatGPT to speak Chinese out loud. Now it's helping me learn through conversation practice. @OpenAI #ChatGPT

Thought-provoking research by @inkandswitch, keep an eye out for a few TaskTXT.com mentions :)

@hobdaydesign @vercel Unfortunately I'm in the same boat ;)

Need a @WeDeserveLess explainer video for @vercel. I’ve hear their name all the time. I respect their design chops. I’ve looked at the website. I still don’t have a good idea of what Vercel is.

Figma would be worth $30 Billion if they fixed this ;) youtube.com/watch?v=4CU1IO…

The best way to use TaskTXT is with the new TaskTXT Mac app. youtube.com/watch?v=qMs-V5…

TaskTXT for Mac is available, I'll announce it officially later, but please try it: dl.todesktop.com/22080519n9z1je…

New video about TaskTXT's anti-homepage, lots of cool animations and interaction details. youtube.com/watch?v=JjKxpk…

BlockTXT

I got a good app for blocking distracting websites, its called "sudo vim /etc/hosts"

Keep focus while you work with TaskTXT, my plaintext task-timing notepad tool. youtube.com/watch?v=HOYO0c…

Just pushed a massive refresh of TaskTXT.com

TaskTXT helps you focus by timing your tasks, but in a background tab, you can forget a timer is even running and it's hard to see how much time is left. I added timer to the page title to solve this. Here's some of the things that I considered while designing it:

This always worked for text you type into TaskTXT, I just needed to find a way to make the browser recognize automatic updates of the text as if they were typed in manually. Try it: tasktxt.com/try

Just deployed an update to TaskTXT which enables undo for things like starting/stopping timers or marking tasks as complete. It works because the app is based on text, and your browser already supports undo for text areas.

Re-sharing this video from last year. I think a lot of designers use these techniques, but they are rarely talked about. youtube.com/watch?v=93_iLR…
