I started using diffview.nvim plugin 🔌 within vim and then realized I could write my own commands for diffing like cycling through merge conflicts, keep head, main or both and my workflow leveled up. 📈 I still like having the plugin though for highlighting complex issues.

Why are "Saved For Laters" so bad in ecommerce? They put it in your cart so maybe I'll check out with it also. That conversion must be low. People want to create a board of items they might by at some point and reference it. Give it a page or a drawer or something. Make it feel personal.
