I used GitHub issues as a form of project management to plan my wedding many years ago.
My wife was skeptical at first, but the ability to add labels, search, etc made it really easy to work together and accomplish the tasked we needed in time for the wedding.
The hardest part was creating a bookmark that links directly to the issue tracker.
Oh, I’ve also used GitHub issues to organize all the boxes in my most recent move. I would create an issue and the description would list all the contents of a box. Then I would write the issue number on the box. After moving, I could search GitHub to find that one thing I was looking for and know what box it was in.
Because you can’t search that without physically looking at each box. There could be a bunch odd reasons that many boxes remain unpacked; downsizing, temporary housing. It’d be nice to be able to finds the one thing you need (you could even label the issue with the box location!).
Anyway, a fun solution but I think it’s more effort than I would have been willing to put in even if I would have appreciated the outcome.
I moved a couple weeks ago, and was quite confused when--after repeatedly searching through every kitchen box--we were missing the flour, sugar, and pasta.
Turns out one kitchen box got placed at the bottom of in a pile of book boxes in the living room.
If you unpack in a day, it's no big deal, but if you spent a week unpacking, you may find yourself having to eat something other than spaghetti for lunch, which is normally fine, but not when you really want spaghetti and the lack of spaghetti merely makes you more determined to find it.
I put a colored sticker on each box, where the color corresponds to the room where the box should go. The destination rooms are marked with the same stickers during the move, so helpers have an easy time telling where to put each box.
In addition, I’m numbering the boxes, and when packing them keep a list mapping the numbers to what’s in each box. So when later searching for something, I know it should be in box number x. This can be helpful even years later when you don’t unpack all boxes.
I ended up buying spaghetti when I went to the store a couple days later, and now I have an abundance of spaghetti. But lunch that first day ended up being something else.
Correct. There’s no way you’re going to write every item inside the box on the box itself. And definitely not on every side of the box. Think cables and small items.
It only makes sense if you plan on unpacking over a year but if you unpack everything in a couple days then the system is not as useful.
Not much, but writing it in the issue is a lot more useful because you can search. The manual search writing everything on the box enables is a lot more annoying.
Yes, but unless you are tracking the location of every box and adding it to the relevant github issue, finding the issue in Github doesn't help you find the box IRL.
Not that hard to keep to some scheme how you sort the boxes or dropping a quick note in the issue, and finding the box with a big one word/number label is easier than finding the box where one of a dozens things written on it is the thing you want.
I've used LibraryThing for book boxes. Using smallish boxes (30-40 paperbacks each) so that carrying them is not a backbreaker. Scan the ISBN barcodes with phone app, fix old ones/whatever on web app, tag with box number written on at least two sides. No problems found so far.
This is a fun anecdote to share, but everywhere you can find people with absurd workflows that are better dealt with using proper tools. FWIW I used Org mode to organize a move to another country. I really cannot stand the idea of feeding my personal information to Microsoft.
Sounds to me like parent used a proper tool. It just happens to be very flexible. In general, the best tool is the one that you use and makes sense to you.
At my last job we almost used Gitlab for all our project management. The only thing that stopped us was not being able to use references between projects. It's very project focused, which is of course good enough for open source projects.
But at my current job Gitlab could easily take over Youtrack, already took over Upsource.
The article explains that they were using the old Vercel price and that the new price is much cheaper.
> On Feb 18, 2025, just a few days after we published this blog post, Vercel changed their image optimization pricing. With the new pricing we'd not have faced a huge bill.
The ".localhost" TLD has traditionally been statically defined in
host DNS implementations as having an A record pointing to the
loop back IP address and is reserved for such use
The RFC 8375 suggestion (*.home.arpa) allows for more than a single host in the domain. If not in name/feeling, but the strictest readings [and adherence] too.
Both offer a free plan but Package Phobia is sponsored meaning its on the paid plan but getting it for free.
Kinda like a skateboarder might be sponsored and get a skateboard for free even though others pay for the same item.
Package Phobia started out on the free plan but it turns out its quite popular, serving over 5 million requests per month. A cache miss (which is frequent given the cardinality of packages + versions), it can take 30 seconds to install a package and measure its size.
There's also a public API which tools like Socket use to check the size of every npm package.
