I built Flock because I kept failing at productivity in isolation. Flock is simple: you see your todos alongside your friends' todos in real-time. Creates gentle social pressure to follow through.

- Real-time dashboard showing your friends' progress alongside yours - Vim-style keyboard shortcuts (j/k, space to complete) for power users - Built-in pomodoro timer - Goal tracking to organize todos by area of focus - Beeminder integration for quantified-self types - Works with Claude via MCP — ask Claude what's on your list, add todos by voice - Dark mode, command palette (⌘K), drag-and-drop reordering

I've been using it daily with a small group of friends for months and the effect on my follow-through has been significant.


Has it? It's still on the App Store. Is it just not in active development?



I absolutely hated doing Cyber Essentials (Plus). Huge waste of time

I'm building Flock, a social goal tracking and intentions app. Styled a little around Complice/Intend, but with more of a focus on working in public with your friends and colleagues - see what they're working on, track your intentions against specific goals.

Building out reviews now - so you can systematically review your progress against your goals to stay on track. Give it a try, and add me as a friend! https://www.flockwith.me/u/henryaj


Certainly banned enough that you can't listen to ATC playback anywhere online. I think in practice you can use an air band radio at home (not sure how anyone would know if you were anyway).


High Court notice from the mentioned court case: https://pretty.direct/consentorder.pdf

> The Defendants accept that they have never had any evidence to support the allegations apart from the two unverified claims published in coordination with the Open Letter. They were never in a position to make any informed judgement on the truth of the allegations, and did not seek clarification on any of the allegations from the Claimant.

He won £5,000 plus costs.

[edit - the defendants here appear to be signatories of the open letter]


It's interesting looking at the messages of recent commits of people removing their names:

- Upon reflection, I don't think this letter was the right approach for this situation. Although I cannot retract my initial decision to sign it, I would appreciate having my signature removed from the document.

- We had good intentions and reasons for concern, but there was no due process, and the consequences of that can be awful. Please accept my withdrawal.

- The goal of providing safe spaces is laudable and necessary, but I expected to see further process outcomes from this effort. Perhaps some sort of SIP or scalarum iustitiae processus.

- I no longer believe the way this letter was the right way of dealing with the situation. And while I cannot undo signing it, I would like to request removing my signature.


Given its role in energy transfer, does this suggest creatine might be a good supplement for improving sleep?


That's a bizarre coincidence. For the past few days I've run across a bunch of accounts of people taking more creatine than suggested (10-20g a day). They seem to all talk about how it makes them work better during sleep deprivation. So the answer seems like it helps.


Do you have any links? This is interesting


I’ve seen some social media posts in the last week by Rhonda Patrick discussing 20g/day for cognitive benefits.

Can’t find that post, but here is a breakdown of claims from an interview she conducted a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Supplements/comments/1jo8pk8/my_top...


I mean there are studies that show this as well. Not the improved sleep, but help in sleep deprivation scenarios


It’s a rational expectation. Improves phosphate transport for more efficient or unbottlenecked ATP synthesis.

Everyone should use creatine. It’s not just for bros.


My sleep gets worse when I take creatine, so maybe it doesn't improve sleep, but rather helps mitochondria to get by without sleep?


Also the working on PRs workflow seems broken - the local branch doesn't have the changes that are on the PR so I can't pick it up and continue working on it.

Agreed that worktrees seem clearly better.
