Using Folders in the Add TaskPaper Shortcut for OmniFocus

I used Curt Clifton’s Populate Template Placeholders script in OmniFocus on my Mac a while back. I don’t know when or why this stopped working, but I assume it was when OmniFocus 4 came out. But rather than spend time troubleshooting it, I decided to switch my birthday reminder template to Apple Shortcuts. The benefit… Continue reading Using Folders in the Add TaskPaper Shortcut for OmniFocus

Notic Meet Update

I haven’t written much about Notic recently, so I thought I best let you know where I’m at with it. Progress has been slow recently. The main changes are just switching to Mongo Atlas from a managed Digital Ocean database. The change was relatively painful, given no live data to migrate. After several attempts to… Continue reading Notic Meet Update

Notic Progress

I’m about nine months into a six-month app challenge—obviously, a product launch failure, and yet, progress is still being made, albeit slower than I wanted. I have learned throughout these months that six months was ambitious and that accomplishing that on a big project requires longer hours each week and sustained effort, which I still… Continue reading Notic Progress

Notic Meet Update

In my last post, I wrote about setting up domains and getting everything in place that would allow me to write and create the app. So far, I have set up notic.cc, running the Twenty Twenty theme. There is no content yet, although that will be coming soon. I have set it up with a… Continue reading Notic Meet Update
