@aaronpk Cool that they're using an open protocol! I still wish it were one with a better federation story though. Anyone should be able to provide any identity to anyone, rather than being beholden to the handful that any given website decides to support.

@aaronpk I wonder what the underlying protocol is and if anyone can join in as an identity provider. I'm not any more enamored with Apple as identity service as with Twitter or Facebook.

I didn’t realize that you’re in Toronto! I hope your talk went well and that you’re having a great time here!

Poll: if you’re a musician 🎵 (play an instrument 🎸🎷🥁🎹, sing 🎤, write 🎼, produce or anything related), professionally or as a hobby, please reply with what you do and a link, if you want to share. I’ll then collect and post a summary.

@robothive Hi Rob - it definitely makes it seem possible that I could support it, which is a big step forward from before. Still a lot of work and I'm not sure how big the audience is. Will add it to my list to consider!

@aaronpk The short answer is that priority is for projects and up-next is for administrivia. So, for example, when I do a weekly review, I’ll prioritize working on three projects for the coming week, and I’ll add a next tag to a few tasks on single action lists (e.g. “drop off the rent cheque”, “make haircut appointment”, “clean the barbecue”).

The long answer is that I should write a blog post. 😅

@aaronpk Yeah, what I’ve settled on for tasks in OmniFocus is three binary axes: priority/not-priority, due/not-due, up-next/backlog. So far so good. 👍

@aaronpk I like your custom filter, but I think I have to expand the due-date horizon slightly, since even when something is due today I often need a day or two to do the work to complete it.

@aaronpk @cygnoir I’d be very interested in how you differentiate p1 from p2 and p3! I’ve never had a solid rubric for that.

@aaronpk This addresses something I have been struggling with for quite a while! Do you refrain from adding priority to tasks that are due on a particular day, or do you still add priority?

Disappointed that Ghost created a custom posting API instead of adopting Micropub, which is a W3C recommendation. It’s okay to have Ghost-only APIs as long as you start with standards as a baseline. Now we have fragmented client apps.
