Probably dependent on age of kids. For the 4yo-6yo demographic with no access to an iPhone or screen device, the analog phone is a blast. And family/friends, especially those living elsewhere, are having fun with it. Admittedly, we’re a month in but I’d be surprised if interest zeroed any time soon.
Run your own Asterisk server with special #0 that the kids can dial to listen to children’s podcasts, etc., it can be very entertaining.
Also stuck on Lightroom for this purpose. Have been looking for any analog/film perspectives on this update from Photrio and Reddit but nothing yet. Curious if this could potentially replace Negative Lab Pro (despite generally being quite good) in my workflow and take me out of Lightroom.
I've built two of these, with the two phone numbers I average about $5-7 a month on a Twilio pay-as-you-go plan. I had a long standing issue with incoming calls that I fixed in January, and usage has definitely increased from about $3 a month before that.
Any chance you’re doing this for film photography? I also use a plugin (Negative Lab Pro) for negative inversion of film scans that keeps me stuck on Lightroom Classic. It would be great to get a pipeline beyond Classic but with the ability to jump back and re-edit. Curious if you have more details on what you do/don’t connect into Immich from Lightroom.
For languages not using the Roman alphabet, is it required that the user know the characters already? After registering but before starting a trial, I wasn’t clear on this.
Some comparison of who should choose this over Duolingo and why (ie features) could be useful.
Thank! Regarding the translation, Phrasing is Bring Your Own Content. In my initial launch, I used an official translation for the demo, but apparently chose poorly haha
For languages without the Roman script - you can enter in qwerty (or configure it to work with any script). When you tap on a word, it shows you the phonetics; and if you tap on the shapes feature you can see that information for every word at the same time.
The app will be default display everything in its native script intentionally. With a bit of curiosity, you’ll pick up the script soon enough. Normally within a few weeks for easier-from-latin scripts like Greek and Cyrillic, to a few months for harder scripts (although you’ll pick up the basics still in a few weeks).
For Japanese and Chinese, I have more suggestions though. Which language(s) are you learning?
Happy Journelly user here! Finally a great place to store notes/links on my iPhone in a simple but powerful app for rediscovery. That I can bring to my windows / Linux / Mac eMacs.
I’ve looked into a log/journal date tree approach with my various activities across the day (meeting notes, independent work notes, etc) under the date. But then I prefer being able to look through headings that anchor on context first, then dates second (/eventually).
Does your daily log link to other parts of one org file, or other org files?
I’ve asked LLMs their opinions. But curious for yours!
Also thinking about trying denote. The filenames begin with dates, then use tags/keywords to keep the thread on recurring topics.
In each day heading I'll have either a short note (like saying what meeting happened), or a link to a separate org file.
I keep an org file for each JIRA ticket I'm working on, so I'll link it out there. The presence of a link indicates that I've worked on that ticket that day.
Then in each individual ticket file I'll just keep top level day headings with notes of what I've done on the ticket, as well as other headings.
For example, an org file for a ticket would look something like:
* PR 1
#+BEGIN_SRC markdown
I like to pre-write up my PRs in a doc block in markdown in org mode just to use my keybindings. I copy-paste when I create a PR.
#+END
* Monday 01/01/26
- Started work on this today, figuring out where in the codebase to touch
- Straightforward, got a PR out
When I need to find something, I use something like consult-org-heading or consult-outline or consult-line.
This makes a ton of sense - thank you for taking the time to write it out like that. Crystal clear. It’s somewhat different than what I’m solving for and that’s reassuring to see!
