We replaced our Discord community with GitHub Discussions. 3 reasons why: 1. LESS OVERHEAD As a small team, spreading comms across email + issues + Discord + socials gets overwhelming fast. 2. BETTER DISCUSSIONS Having discussions next to the code and issues also makes them feel more real. Instead of saying "we'll get to that," we can say "we're adding that in issue#123." Since we can link to past PRs and issues, the discussion can have more context than if it were thrown in a Discord thread. It also helps our target users (software engineers), who are already on GitHub all day. 3. MAKES IT EASIER TO CONTRIBUTE It keeps the issues cleaner and gives new contributors a place to air their questions without feeling guilty about adding a new issue.

Compass now makes it effortless to shift from planning → doing. Here’s the new workflow: Type 2 → open your Day Planner Add the tasks you need to get done today Type 1 → jump to the Now View Lock in on the current task Hit ENTER to complete it and move to the next Your current task now shows front and center. That makes starting less daunting, building momentum easier, and the day calmer. Give it a try → https://lnkd.in/dtUgVShy

Visualizing your time is so cool
I built a grid that shows your life in weeks. Each square is one week: - The colored ones are those you’ve lived. - The empty ones are those (hopefully) ahead. You can try it here for free — no login, email, or credit card: https://lnkd.in/gQ6vzAGp Why build something like this? 1. Yes, I wanna draw some buzz for Compass Calendar 2. But also — visualizing time is really powerful When you see your life laid out as 4,000 tiny boxes, you feel something. It forces you to confront how few of those boxes are left — and to consider what deserves to fill them. As Oliver Burkeman wrote in Four Thousand Weeks: “The real measure of any time management technique is whether it helps you neglect the right things.” Most productivity tools don’t help you neglect anything. They do the opposite: convince you to chase more. More tasks. More metrics. More meetings. More “efficiency.” But saying “no” is the ultimate productivity hack. “No, I don’t need to finish 20 tasks — just these 3.” “No, we’re not launching on every platform — we’re perfecting web first.” “No, we don’t have an AI agent — users can choose what matters.” “No, I don’t want to play pickleball.” If you already say “no” fluently, you probably don’t need a premium productivity app or a grid of 4,000 dots to remind you. But for us mortals, seeing our time visually can be the jolt we need to start living it more intentionally. Here’s to saying “yes” to what matters to us, and “no” to everything else.
