@npub1t5m…9guy Can’t fail at the first, while you definitely can fail at the second. Avoiding failure isn’t unusual, unfortunately. Failing by avoiding failure is quite ironic.

@npub1dm5…5sqe Can you put a small pin in that chain to fix it pulled out further to a different gear? Still a fixed gear but could use a different gear if that was better, and if this idea worked.

Feature request: Drafts view could really use an Edit button that lets you tap items to select multiple so you can bulk delete. Select all button when in edit mode.
Drafts seem to be accumulating excessively for me.

What do you do when you wake up after 6hrs? This is key in my experience.
- no screens (!)
- don’t open both eyes. Open one as little as you can - keep slitted or closed. Let in least possible light or visual stimulation.
- put in earplugs
- soft t-shirt folded lengthwise, or something, over eyes

@npub1dm5…5sqe Can relate. In high school I often hung out with groups of the females because they talked about more interesting stuff and not sports or weight lifting or bragging about the sex they were (n’t) having, or whatever inane thing. For some reason the women allowed me to hang out with them, thankfully. Maybe it was because I was willing to talk about emotions and relationships and such. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You support keyboard shift+tap on iPad without going into select mode also, right? I’d expect that this would work.
(Maybe this puts you into select mode automatically? That might be weird and the point is to not have a heavy mode change)
The text editing pane is something that will matter if it’s not great (I haven’t tried the built in one, but not supporting the common macOS shortcuts is mind bogglingly annoying for a lot of cross platform apps on Mac - like OpenSCAD).
