Any chance you’re doing this for film photography? I also use a plugin (Negative Lab Pro) for negative inversion of film scans that keeps me stuck on Lightroom Classic. It would be great to get a pipeline beyond Classic but with the ability to jump back and re-edit. Curious if you have more details on what you do/don’t connect into Immich from Lightroom.
For languages not using the Roman alphabet, is it required that the user know the characters already? After registering but before starting a trial, I wasn’t clear on this.
Some comparison of who should choose this over Duolingo and why (ie features) could be useful.
Thank! Regarding the translation, Phrasing is Bring Your Own Content. In my initial launch, I used an official translation for the demo, but apparently chose poorly haha
For languages without the Roman script - you can enter in qwerty (or configure it to work with any script). When you tap on a word, it shows you the phonetics; and if you tap on the shapes feature you can see that information for every word at the same time.
The app will be default display everything in its native script intentionally. With a bit of curiosity, you’ll pick up the script soon enough. Normally within a few weeks for easier-from-latin scripts like Greek and Cyrillic, to a few months for harder scripts (although you’ll pick up the basics still in a few weeks).
For Japanese and Chinese, I have more suggestions though. Which language(s) are you learning?
Happy Journelly user here! Finally a great place to store notes/links on my iPhone in a simple but powerful app for rediscovery. That I can bring to my windows / Linux / Mac eMacs.
I’ve looked into a log/journal date tree approach with my various activities across the day (meeting notes, independent work notes, etc) under the date. But then I prefer being able to look through headings that anchor on context first, then dates second (/eventually).
Does your daily log link to other parts of one org file, or other org files?
I’ve asked LLMs their opinions. But curious for yours!
Also thinking about trying denote. The filenames begin with dates, then use tags/keywords to keep the thread on recurring topics.
In each day heading I'll have either a short note (like saying what meeting happened), or a link to a separate org file.
I keep an org file for each JIRA ticket I'm working on, so I'll link it out there. The presence of a link indicates that I've worked on that ticket that day.
Then in each individual ticket file I'll just keep top level day headings with notes of what I've done on the ticket, as well as other headings.
For example, an org file for a ticket would look something like:
* PR 1
#+BEGIN_SRC markdown
I like to pre-write up my PRs in a doc block in markdown in org mode just to use my keybindings. I copy-paste when I create a PR.
#+END
* Monday 01/01/26
- Started work on this today, figuring out where in the codebase to touch
- Straightforward, got a PR out
When I need to find something, I use something like consult-org-heading or consult-outline or consult-line.
This makes a ton of sense - thank you for taking the time to write it out like that. Crystal clear. It’s somewhat different than what I’m solving for and that’s reassuring to see!
Sticking to the magnetile theme of the OP, my kids and I have spent the most time and most occasions playing with the mangetile marble run kits. It works so well.
I bought the magnatile-knockoff-version essentially and while not as pure montessori as the wooden blocks, they're 1/10th the price and my 4-year-old is _loving_ this kit: https://amzn.to/3MVXRXg
Beech is the cheapest of the common European hardwoods. Even through a distributor it’s only about 1400-1700 € per cubic meter in 5cm / 2” planks. For context, the cheapest construction lumber is about 300-800, oak 2500, american walnut 4000.
It’s not great compared to 10 years ago, but the last 3 years it’s been pretty stable. About 11-15 euros incl VAT per square meter at retail prices for the cheapest 3-ply 9mm and 5-ply 12mm softwood ply, brazilian import.
I dabble in furniture, which means I’m looking at baltic birch plywood, at about 40 euros per square meter of 15mm 11-ply sheets. At that pricepoint I might as well buy actual hardwood lumber.
As an aside, there's an app out there is an app for the iPad called "Cuboro Riddles" which is a "how do you make the marble go from here to there using the blocks." Given that there are multiple ways that a block can channel a marble, this is a tricky one.
... and then if you get this over into the lego domain (not as "just something to fiddle with..." it gets you into the GBC. There is a standard for how one connects to another described at https://www.greatballcontraption.com/wiki/standard ... and then at lego conventions people hook them all up. https://youtu.be/avyh-36jEqA
Looks like their site links to a good number of US stores that sell them, many mom/pop. While there may not be a store close enough to you, perhaps there's one that would ship to you.
Feature request - a way to filter by age / difficulty from the home page. I see it on individual pages but didn’t quickly see the age listed as a tag. This is a point of friction on most coloring page sites. Congrats on this. I have bookmarked it. Thank you
