This sounds incredibly fascinating. Do you have a link to the specific episode or a title?


I looked, but it's a while back. It was just after the show returned from a break, and it was part of the opening chit chat between the hosts, so not topic of the show.


I owe much of my current success as a professional software engineer to the instructors at Treehouse. As an intern, I went from 0 to learning the fundamentals of JavaScript on both the front and back end. It was the one site that helped React finally click for me.

I don't know if you are reading this, Andrew Chalkley and others, but thank you for making such lovely courses. I hope you find or have found something better out there!


Safari in the upcoming macOS Monterey and iOS 15 do exactly this, syncing tab groups between all of your devices :-) well, Apple devices anyway.

I hope Chrome adds this to their own tab group feature set soon because it’s pretty nifty!


Thank you so much for this! I was looking for an optimal config myself, and this saved me so much time :-) Cheers!


This app is wonderful! I’ve been using it to track a handful of habits for a couple of weeks now.

The fact that it’s leveraging Org mode on the backend is magic, I’ve been craving more mobile apps that let me throw unnecessary Emacs at them :-)

Just as an example:

  #+TITLE: My habits
  * TODO  Breakfast
  SCHEDULED: <2021-02-27 Sat 08:00 ++1d>
  :PROPERTIES:
  :STYLE: habit
  :LAST_REPEAT: [2021-02-26 Fri 11:58]
  :END:
  - State "DONE"        from "TODO"       [2021-02-26 Fri 11:58]
  - State "DONE"        from "TODO"       [2021-02-25 Thu 08:41]
Which reminds me, I should eat breakfast!


With an app like Scriptable, you can indeed! This one lets you write JavaScript code, and they added the feature to pass in parameters with iOS 13.1!

Pythonista 3 (currently on TestFlight) is another option. I like the custom keyboard shortcuts that it adds. It can also trigger shortcuts, I reckon.


This is interesting. I thought iOS is pretty locked down.
