We are building a new local-first version of FacileThings, a personal productivity web & mobile application based on the Getting Things Done methodology (GTD).
It will be a super-fast, reactive, and responsive application that allows you to work offline.

When we look for one-quick-tip and the lazy hack, we're wasting time we could have spent on the direct path instead. When a shortcut becomes the best way to do something, it ceases to be a shortcut. It's simply the direct path.

It had been a while since I'd programmed using the concept of a finite state machine. In GTD, the process of clarifying the tasks you've captured follows a deterministic questioning algorithm that ends in six possibilities, so I decided to use an FSM.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Capturing all the things that interest you is a fundamental productive habit. You can't build a solid organizational system on an "incomplete inventory" of your reality.
