You can get by with 3 or four people. A few can be kids! It is intended to be played in person, but we started playing it remotely for "team building" in mid 2020. It works great over the internet, if everyone is technical enough to run two clients: one for your station and one for the "main" screen. If you have multiple monitors it works well. We've found all remote or all in person work well, and mixed makes comms frustrating.


Looks cool! I did a quick skim of the website and privacy policy. It was quick, so maybe I missed it, but where are the notes stored? How are they protected? Are the contents of the notes considered Personal Data as relates to the privacy policy?


The data is stored in Firebase, they are protected by https encryption in transit and firebase encrypts them at rest. Like most cloud services, I can access the notes but it is my policy never to do so and I never have.

I'm hoping to implement a full offline mode and end to end encryption in the future.

I'd be more than happy to pay and even disable sync -- it seems like it should be trivial to offer a version that doesn't sync at all or uses E2EE.

Frankly your product looks exceptionally nice, and I really like it. I just can't justify using it because it's too risky, from a data use standpoint, to allow other people into my mind. I hope you'll consider at least a fully offline / no sync mode.


Completely agree. I would pay $10-30 as a one-time cost for this. I don't want cloud sync with your servers, neither do any of the places that I would like to use this. I have never found a good time-tracking app that is useful for me, but this seems pretty good. I'd love to tie it to Gitlab so I can specify an issue and track time on it with a click.


How is the data stored? Per page?


A wise colleague recently explained to me that if you build HA things HA from the start, it's only a little more than 2x. If you try to make an _existing_ system HA, it's 3x at best. HN is not a paid service, they can be down for a few hours per year, no problem. We're not all going to walk away in disgust.


Not to mention the HNStatus[0] twitter account has so few tweets[1] I don't think it's even worth it.

Mailmate at https://freron.com/ is fantastic. My only gripe is that it is Mac-only, so I can't use it on my work desktop. (linux)


Wow, so strange that they don't provide a single screenshot (that I could find) on their website.


what do you use on linux?


A mix of mutt for triage and reluctantly, the gmail web interface. I think I have tried every real client available and been disappointed in many different ways?

same. Hoping there was some obscure winner.


99% of all businesses are planning on at least two really bad quarters coming up. Very few have cash reserves to cover shortfalls. If you’re planning out the rest of the year, and you were already in a little trouble, you have to cut expenses immediately.

I’m not sure Omni is as tied to quarterly planning/reporting; but for those who are, and are on the regular calendar schedule, this all happened just in time for a lot of the potential Q1 end of quarter sales to dry up as everyone tightened up.


Same here, 5 digits and a hostname = no problem. There must be some other factor(s) in play.


You do probably want swap, but the comment you are replying to is talking about a swap _partition_ and that is not the only way to do swap. Using a file instead makes it easier to change the size of your swap, some people prefer that.


Again, what about sticking to a sensible default that covers the 99.9% case? The installer is hinting you to do the right thing (to create some swap), even if it doesn't provide all the possible myriad options. Swap files vs dedicated partitions have different trade-offs, if you start going that route it's easy to start blaming the installer for having less power/flexibility than invoking debootstrap directly.


Swap file is a more sensible default in this day and age, at least for the desktop.


https://puri.sm/ makes great laptops with hardware switches. I have one, love it, and reluctantly accept that this market will always just be the same ~1400 nerds.


Put more simply, it is about increasing total addressable market.


Your optimism is nice, but unfounded. South park (South of Seattle) was left with one bridge for four years: https://www.historylink.org/File/10808

In Michigan, they've resorted to making some bridges single lane after they were rated too old for two cars at a time.

The north part of West Seattle also basically has the one bridge. And WA did have an I-5 bridge collapse a few years back, although IIRC it was collision-induced structural damage:

I live in West Seattle, and there are technically two - there's also a drawbridge for pedestrians/cyclists/two lanes of traffic. Both are pretty new, and work well; the Magnolia situation, on the other hand, is a lot tougher. The residents of Magnolia are also known to really fear additional connectivity (especially public transit) in part due to an unfounded fear of crime.

They did replace the South park bridge, so my optimism seems pretty founded?

Michigan is not willing to leave bridges down; they lack money. Not an issue in a wealthy suburb of Seattle.
