Show HN: TaskTXT, plain text task-timing notepad I built TaskTXT.com based on my experience timing my tasks. I found that committing to a task before I start helps with my focus, and guessing how long it will take, then timing it prevents me from wanting to give in to distractions because I'm "on the clock". Video Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOYO0c_D6w0 There's also a Mac app which you can download here: https://ift.tt/cRAKN9k Video overview of the Mac app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMs-V5v5gZY But I didn't want the tool to be distracting, so its based on plain text. That means the UI is very familiar and you can use it for generic notes in any structure you like. When you work in TaskTXT you are working directly on its data format, I made a video about this concept here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZdBgVZn5NI I think this tool is uniquely suited for programmers, so I'd be interested to hear any feedback about the product, or its viability as a business. https://tasktxt.com/ September 21, 2022 at 12:25AM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later.
