@drwalt I taught international relations in Poli. Sci., but my usual course was Intro. to Intl. Studies, which was cross-disciplinary, with a lot of business students. So, I thought we’d use Slack (instead of the uni’s LMS), because that’s what they’d see in the world. Worst evals I ever got.

@drwalt I’m not sure it’s fair to say that kanban is strictly for “collaborative projects with a decent number of people.” I know soloists who use it. Cal Newport uses it in his personal system. It’s less about numbers and more about approach, i.e., pull vs. push task management.

@timapple Markdown, starting in Drafts.app for thoughts and snippets, then onto Obsidian as notes, then iA Writer for drafting. I’m still waiting for Substack to accept Markdown as input; until then, I’m C&P-ing from the rich text preview.

@numericcitizen interested. I downloaded it about a week ago. My firm is heavy into GWorkspace, so I’m stuck in Chrome most of the working day. That said, I’ve really been meaning to kick the tires on Atlas.
