A native MacOS menu bar app that gives you a deep breathing reminder every hour: https://github.com/p44v9n/deepbreath/releases/tag/v0.0.4

Functional but a few small bugs to iron out, then want to get a nicer welcome screen up and submit to the Apple App Store. Would love any feedback!

[promoterr → p44v9n]

Didn't try yet - however did you consider ppl are working / having meetings / etc - simply don't want to see anything on their screen they don't expect? What about proper notification & maybe 'blinking' icon in appropriate area? Setting could contain even sound and/or small menu appears similar to Battery status..

This is really cool! I was sad when Forestry went down and this looks better than TinaCMS.

I'm trying to set it up with my Eleventy blog (paavandesign.com/blog) and struggling to get the body field working

Is your repo public? Happy to have a look if it is.

Have you also checked the examples: https://pagescms.org/docs/examples/

edit: this was the bug which I think you're already on top of! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39468906

So 'body' is working if I set the type to text but when I set it to rich-text there's no input generated for body

Repo is private (sorry!) but here's the settings YAML file as it stands

     content:
      - name: blog
        label: Blog
        type: collection
        path: 'src/blog'
        view:
          fields: [ title, date]
        fields:
          - name: date
            label: Date
            type: date
          - name: title
            label: Title
            type: string
          - name: description
            label: Description
            type: string
          - name: tags
            label: Tags
            type: string
          - name: body
            label: Body
            type: rich-text

Yep, seems to be the same bug as what somebody else reported: if you don't specify a `media` attribute, when the rich-text editor tries to load it fails as it is attempting to load the media related features (to insert images).

Publishing a hotfix in the next hour, in the meantime it should work if you add a media attribute (you can set it as `media: ""` if you don't have an image folder).

[hunvreus → p44v9n]

I rolled out a hotfix, this should be fixed.

I also found another couple edge cases that are unlikely but that I will patch in the coming days.

Thanks for that.

I do stream of consciousness writing and aim to fill out a page of A4 — so just whatever comes to mind, usually starting with today is x date and I am sat in y place and so on...

Fully agree with the parent comment about it being like clearing out RAM!

This is my site — thanks for the feedback!

[RheingoldRiver → p44v9n]

Yeah, please disable the custom cursor. IME custom cursors are something that site designers tend to like, and think are pretty cool, and site visitors end up loathing. The cursor is your interface to the UI and as such isn't exactly a *part* of the UI - it's your way of saying "hey I'm here, I can do things," etc. So for a UI to take hold of it and change it is extremely jarring.

(Video games often do change your cursor of course, and part of that is because they're indeed trying to be immersive, and you're here for that experience. But such is not the case on a website.)

Happy to help!

Ah! Just a silly Easter Egg, I coded up this website when Figma was brand new. Figma is a UI design tool that allows for collaborative designing — you can see where people are in the same file with a similar cursor label.

It changes based on a few things (e.g. dark mode) + I wanted it to change when you entered a password (for my design portfolio) too but realised it was too complex.

That's not an 'easter egg' that's someone licking your ear, one of most subtley annoying things I've ever seen on a web site. Like an alarm clock in the locked closet you cannot open to turn off the alarm.

[frogulis → p44v9n]

Hmm funny thing, if it had been opt-in (maybe by finding and clicking a semi-hidden button) I probably would've been intrigued and searched for all the variations. Just a thought.

Too easter egg; didn’t read.
