Hi James, welcome to WIP!

Design GUI looks intriguing. I'm a Tailwind CSS user myself. Is it useful for that or is it geared more towards people managing their own CSS?

Hey Marc. The extension just needs you to be using CSS variables. It doesn't intrinsically matter if you're also using Tailwind or not.

Having said that you get some extra features if you're using daisyUI or shadcn/ui. You can recreate these features with a custom configuration (www.designgui.io/docs#custom-…), but if you're using either of those libraries you get them out of the box.

I guess it helps a lot that it's based on my manually written todos. So it repurposes all of that and just ties it all together.

This is an experiment. This post was generated by AI by providing it my recently completed todos.

Ha, who would've suspected. I thought you spent some time writing all this down and formatting it on your own 😄

interesting. if u hadnt told me it was AI i wouldnt have guessed.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and like others, I didn't think it sounded as if AI had written it.

Receiving SMS texts is free I think. Double check with your provider. So if your phone supports dual sim cards (all recent iPhones do), then you can keep your home SIM active. Just make sure you disable roaming (so it won't try to connect to the internet) and don't pick up any calls (as it will probably cost you money).

Does it work even if the country is not listed in the provider's roaming supported countries list? I tried in the past, and they told me no, we don't work in that country (Indonesia). Maybe I just need to change of provider 😂

Same. Makes it really easy to get a local eSIM.

Pro tip: You can often extend and add additional data with the telco’s own app.

Although now that I think about it, we could do it slightly differently and it might have wider appeal. Or maybe this is what you meant. Here's what I have in mind now:

A column chart similar to iPhone's sleep schedule. The x axis represent the days (each day is a column). The y axis represents the hour of the day. The column goes from first todo created (e.g. 8am) to last todo created (e.g. 9pm).

The length of the columns will show the work session times (longer columns is longer work sessions). Where they start and stop shows when you start and stopped working. We can also show dots within the column for each completed todo.

Times would be adjusted for the time zone you were in at that moment.

I agree it would be an interesting visualization.

One challenge would be figure out what to do with work sessions that end AFTER midnight. Which I think is quite common.

I guess a simpler solution would be not to show columns, but just dots for each completed todo.

I was imagining a little square widget on the user's profile in the right sidebar. The X axis is days, the Y axis is the amount of time it took the person to start working (self-reported).

The idea would be you could have several different types of productivity-measures that people could track. For example, MyFitnessPal lets you track steps per day, but I don't use that functionality.

I think your proposed version would definitely result in a smaller codebase since you wouldn't be collecting and storing additional types of information, my only reservation is that I don't think it would be particularly useful to me without knowing 1) when I woke up that day (maybe have that as a special TODO type that gets ignored on the homepage / profile so it doesn't clutter the UI?), 2) how difficult the TODO was, since some of my tasks take many hours to complete (I suppose it would incentivize having small tasks to jumpstart the day, which is a productivity tip I've already been wanting to use).

Fun idea! I think it's too specialized for WIP (I try to keep the codebase minimal), but you should be able to build this fairly easily with the API ( wip.co/api ) by fetching recent todos and looking at the created_at timestamps along with the time_zone values. (the time_zone value for each todo represents the time_zone your account was set to at the time the todo was created)

One suggestion is to use their mobile app exclusively as it's easier to use than their website.

That said, you shouldn't be using the app that frequently either IMO. Investment is more of a long term thing. Not something where you use the app everyday.

Thanks Marc, I love that guide, it's what made me decide to take the plunge 😀
