I’ve been building Flare (https://www.getflare.app/), an app for people with chronic skin conditions (eczema, rosacea, etc).

It lets you log symptoms and triggers, but the bigger vision is being able to discover patterns, ask questions about your own data, etc.

Being able to answer questions like “Do my flare-ups correlate with stress?” or “What foods make things worse?” backed with personalized data has been helpful with my own flares.

Still early, but curious to hear thoughts from folks!

I love everything about the steam deck, just like everyone else here, with the exception of 2 things,

1. The touch screen hardware is there, but the touchscreen software needs significant improvement.

2. The weight. Holding it for longer than an hour is… hard.

Bonus: Steam store on the deck is essentially a webview - clicking on a game from the store home page then clicking back loses all scroll progress. A better integrated store experience would be nice!

I think that depends on what you're looking for. Technical books are always evolving. There's always new fiction. Self-improvement and business books, especially the best ones I find, are quite old.

That's what I like about reading technical books. I have 3 books (textbooks, really) that I'm reading right now, and I don't feel like I have to finish one before picking up the other. I can read whatever I feel like reading.

Even though I love fiction, I couldn't pick up a second book from Stephen King without fully finishing the first. I'd lose interest in the first one otherwise.
