extension-save-to-pocket VS notion-auto-pull

Paywalls are annoying in daily browsing (more in the weekends and mornings!).

https://archive.is/ is great but one thing I noticed is that not play nicely with content extraction services such as https://getpocket.com/ and I think it is more about Pocket recognizing the Archive Today service than other thing.

Google Translate is an alternative that currently works with content readers. Basically the hack is to just not use the translation at all putting the same language in the language origin and destination.

as the title says, twitter and getpocket.com is not working properly in guest window when shield (aggressive mode) is "ON". if I off the shield then the website works properly. I am using latest version of brave browser on windows 10. I don't know its just me or anything else or the these two websites having some problems.

For longer articles, I really like reading with Pocket. This is going to sound like an ad, but it's an app/website made by the same non-profit foundation that makes Firefox. It lets you save articles, restart from where you left off, it tell you approximately how long (in minutes of reading time) the article is, it syncs between your devices, when you save it usually gets your around soft paywalls like the New Yorker's, it saves offline so you can read on the plane or subway. It strips away all the extraneous stuff like ads so it just shows you the article (sometimes it strips away useful things too, like pictures, for what it's worth). You can sign up for their emails and it's the only organization's email I'm happy I signed up for. They send you one email a day with a curated list of the most saved articles on the site. It's great, especially for long articles!

Use getpocket.com to bypass paywalls

Yeah. I've resorted now to using https://getpocket.com for individual chapters on my Kobo. Not really happy about it.

Another work around that works on 95% of sites: Use Pocket (getpocket.com) and save it to pocket. You will be able to read it there.

Other services include Pocket and Mozilla VPN.

I've got a Kobo ereader, and it supports syncing with a pocket account.

My perfection had a name: Notion.

I manage my non-work and work-adjacent tasks in Notion. Whenever I have an idea, regardless of how big or small or silly or achievable it is, I'll add it to Notion, and use labels to categorise it by type of output (e.g. blog, silly project, website update). Today I wanted to write a short post for my site. I clicked on the filtered blog post view, and selected this one (because I hoped it would be a quick one!).

Notion.so redefines workspaces. With its intelligent organization and collaboration features, it's more than a productivity tool—it's a digital haven. Discover the art of streamlined and efficient teamwork.

A quote as I could not directly send a discord screenshot and am not sure that people want to make an account at notion.so simply to see the FAQ:

I work on a large SPA: https://notion.so

It’s a document editing application. A document title might occur in the browser’s titlebar, in the header of the main editor, in a “mention” (a link to the document), and in multiple places in the user’s sidebar - like in both their “Favorites” section and in the the contents of their team.

When the user edits the document title, we need to update all those UI bits to render the new title. I have a hard time imagining some imperative code that iterates over all the possible views that may render a title to mutate them.

Notion (Notion.so) is an all-in-one workspace where you can write, plan, collaborate and get organized - it allows you to take notes, add tasks, manage projects & more. Imagine a lego structure. Notion provides the building blocks and you can create your own layouts and toolkit to get work done.

I think Notion (notion.so) is a good tool for managing Captain's Log games (and RPG games in general) but there is a bit of a learning curve. If there is interest, I would consider writing a more detailed tutorial on how to use Notion for Captains Log (as I figure the game out). I'd also recommend Thomas Frank's website and youtube channel for tutorials on how to use Notion.

my personal thoughts: regardless of how many people prefer not to believe it, and the fact that some startups do use non-dotcom (Notion owns notion.com by the way, but still redirects to notion.so - i suspect it's because it's too much of a hassle to do so rather than .so being their preferred TLD), the truth is that the .com still has a certain brand allure to it to mainstream consumers. personally i paid 10k for my startup's .com even though the other TLDs were cheap as hell (which i also bought anyway). i thought it was crazy expensive, but i still felt it was money well spent for the branding.
