So, if you feel behind - relax. You're not that different from anyone else. You just haven't reached the good part yet. Keep going. 4666
Brandon @ Driftkeep @driftkeep.com · 06/12/2024I am thinking of adding a 'health alert' system to Fio. (Fio is a task/time tracking app to convert your time directly to an invoice) I have Autism & ADHD and forget to: - 🍔 Eat - 🍺 Drink - 🧘♂️ Take breaks Who would utilise a reminder system to do these things? #buildinpublic #freelancechatmedia.tenor.comBe Doo Be Doo Minion GIFAlt: Be Doo Be Doo Minion GIF 122
Brandon @ Driftkeep @driftkeep.com · 06/12/2024Real-time notifications, system events and goals are now sent and received via websockets! ↔️🚀 Notifications will be sent to the user for: - invoices that have been paid - goals that have been achieved - successful email delivery of invoices Deploying soon to a browser near you #buildinpublic 181
