- Duolingo. Getting me some Spanish.
- simplelogin.io, used multiple times this week
- Obsidian. I enjoy dropping off my notes and thoughts there. I got all shortcuts under my fingertips, so it's great experience.
- Syncthing. Goes well with obsidian ;)
- Health. I approached it as an engineer - I searched for the top 10 causes of death. For each I search "prevention" and that got me a list of things to do. For each thing I created a plan that I'm executing on :)
- Calibre. I get books, drop them in whatever format into a designated folder and Calibre automatically converts those into the right format for my Kindle.
- Push To Kinde. Great way to just send any article to my Kindle for later & comfier reading. Works both as Chrome extension and as an mobile app (via Share dialog).
Obsidian is dope. If you haven't read the book "How to take Smart Notes", it provides a LOT of context for the features in obsidian

Let us know if you find anything cool on the Health topic, that is a good way of approaching it, but be careful of the "Top 10 Foods To Avoid", etc. blogs, I have found the long-form discussion and explanation stuff pretty useful.

I upvote this because Obsidian, can't tell you how much I was looking for something likie this.
PD: Calibre is truly a beast
reply
On the Calibre front - I'm sort of impressed how powerful the tool is and yet how bad the UX is :)

Have you tried Logseq? It is similar to Obsidian but open source
reply
I have, it wasn't that great for me. Note that there are other at least 20 tools that are similar - all can edit markdown, all display fancy graph visualization, etc, but to me it comes down to small details, like good keyboard shortcuts, side by side view support.
