Nope, never ever feel guilty for 'me time'. For side projects, assign the time you are able to give to that project (Thursday nights for example), maybe it's between 6am and 8am before work? But never ever compromise on 'you time'. Seen it happen, for your mental and physical health look after it.

Dear Product Hunters, We are Peter and Richard, makers of Memo. Email is too formal and texting + instant message is getting distracting. It's hard to have deep and meaningful conversations online with the people we care about. Memo brings modern features to long-form messaging to achieve this. We are massively inspired by Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism and wanted to solve this problem of...

What Cotter are doing for authentication is marvelous. An accessible tool for developers to easily add password-less auth to their websites is definitely needed and it's best that it's a focused product like this instead of always trying to do 'checkout' as well.

Use a tool like Memo that respects your focus and does not notify you or use the evil red dot to spike your attention. https://sendmemo.app/mission I am hell bent on getting back notification control, it ruined me a while back. I'd love to talk to you more about this.

Keeping to some kind of acceptable schedule. Does the day start at 6am when I get up or 10am after a long breakfast? Do I stop at 5pm or work til 6 or 8 or do I take a 4 hour lunch break. I just don't know. How many tea breaks is too many? This is actually quite a problem for me.

We have had a fun time using Gather, we have a virtual pub called the Magpie Arms and on a Saturday we just hang out there and chat to whoever turns up. https://gather.town/ Last week we tried one of those interactive game sessions using Jack Box, that was fun. The other tool we use mostly for work is Whereby. Far superior to Zoom, much much easier to use, we love the personal room feature and...

About once a month we have a review of our position, make adjustments in our savings etc. Love Starling's spaces feature if you've come across that?

Online every time. John Lewis have a fabulous website. Their shops are so overcrowded and smell strongly of perfume.

Can you support customers in the UK?

This is an awesome idea, a bit like those apps that let you rent out your driveway for people to park on. How do I sign up?

Well this is officially awesome.

Hey Reed. Completely onboard with this story and product logic. Am I miss-understanding something if I ask, how is this different to making a phone call?

When our customers text me to tell me about the success they're having as a result of the work we've done or are doing for them.

Plum Mail is a replacement for email and instant messengers. We find both so frustrating! Email is disorganised and IM is distracting. We want to fix this and keep email's best feature: the fact everyone has an email address. Plum Mail gives us the opportunity to build something better. We're making conversations more useful, better organised and more meaningful. You can do this by concluding...

If only I was writing a book! This really appeals to me. Congratulations on your launch. Does it offer markdown editing at all?

@pvan1201 - please see my reply to your message above. Thanks for your comments.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your insights into how you've been considering authentication for your application. In addition to your comments about SSO, we also found that some users complain they can't remember which social account they used to sign into a service with (was it Facebook, was it Twitter etc) so they then have to go through the options trying to remember. A once convenient feature...
