I’ve always wanted a tool that automatically extracts value from my bookmarks. Being able to just save something and come back to it via metadata and keywords automatically extracted from it seems like a huge win for me!
It’s hard to explain what a revelation Dutch Urban planning has been to me since I’ve moved here. When you have protected bike lanes literally everywhere you go and riding you bike is always the quickest way to get from A to B for any journey less than 3 km (faster than driving, faster than public transport).

You rent a car? It’s actually easier to drive in a Dutch city than other cities because everyone is not reliant on a car for literally every journey they make, people only use cars when they need to you can still drive cars on the streets, the streets are just not built for cars 1st.

I would say having to own a car to live in a city is far more anti-working-class than making a city completely livable without the need for a car.
I highly recommend watching the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes to get a better understanding of just how brilliant the urban planning is.
